u.b.p_brewery taproom is a brewpub with an attached brewery on the first floor of the Urawa Washington Hotel. In a post on April 27, the taproom said it would be open from 17:00 to 22:00 (last order 30 minutes before closing) and introduced the limited-edition "Yuzu Chorizo Tortilla Dog," a special version of its signature tortilla dog. Made with yuzu from Tokigawa and chorizo, it was designed to pair with U.B.P's yuzu-forward beers.

On the taps that day were `Kickoff Pils`, `彩白~IROHA~`, `URAWA CITY ALE`, `YUZU RISING`, `OWN GOAL IPA`, `Bombonera`, and `La bomba`. The lineup ranged from pilsner to yuzu-based beer, IPA, and ale, making it easy to choose everything from a crisp pint to an aromatic one. One of the shop's strengths is being able to compare beers brewed in Urawa right there on site.

In addition to the limited menu, the food selection included lasagna, a four-sausage platter, a six-slice sausage assortment, pork liver and cheek pâté, freshly shaved Gouda cheese, red-and-white pickles, smoked quail eggs, mixed nuts, and dried figs. The setup lets guests choose snacks to match their beer style, making it equally suitable for a meal-focused stop or just a light drink.

They also sell canned beers, including `Drop Kick`, `Hattrick Hero`, `Step Over`, `Hazy Celebration`, `LaLa Kölsch`, and `あさかのきさきエール`, plus `La bomba`, `YUZU RISING`, `彩白~IROHA~`, and `URAWA CITY ALE`. They also posted guidance for direct-to-consumer sales, another point worth noting for anyone wanting to take home a favorite from the bar.

On the operations side, they note that there is no cover charge or service fee, and water is self-service. It's an easy place to drop in, and this week they also have off-site plans: an appearance at Urawa-Misono Station on 4/29, counter sales of saba sandwiches at u3doco, the Urawa Station East Exit Smile Park from 5/1 to 5/3, the GW Burger Fest 2026 from 5/2 to 5/6, and the Kakegawa Craft Beer Festa from 5/5 to 5/6. It was an update that showed both the pub's face as a Urawa brewery and its reach through event appearances.
