Daikanyama Bibibi. Introduces DAIKANYAMA Weisse, a Berliner Weisse Made for Yuzu Beer Cocktails
Daikanyama craft beer bar Bibibi. has created DAIKANYAMA Weisse with Fukushima microbrewery HOP JAPAN. Based on the traditional Berliner Weisse style, the 4.0% beer is designed to be enjoyed on its own or mixed with Tamanohikari Sake Brewery’s yuzu liqueur.
Hop BroNews from Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi.: DAIKANYAMA Weisse is here. It’s an event-only beer developed with HOP JAPAN.
MugiWhoa! Daikanyama Weisse already sounds stylish! Was it really made for beer cocktails from the start?
Hop BroExactly. It’s based on the classic German Berliner Weisse style—a light, tart beer brewed with wheat.
MugiWhat?! “Lactic-acid-derived tartness” sounds like the beer became yogurt! What’s the secret behind sour beer?
Hop BroNo yogurt beer, so relax! The bacteria create a bright, lemon-like tartness. Its clean, crisp finish is perfect for a warm day.
MugiNice! So what happens when you add yuzu liqueur from Tamanohikari?
Hop BroIts gentle sweetness sharpens the tartness, while yuzu aroma blooms. Berliner Weisse is sometimes served with syrup in Germany, so it’s rooted in tradition too.
MugiTartness gets sharpened by sweetness? That’s a workout for my taste buds! Still, just 4.0% ABV makes it feel easy to enjoy.
Hop BroIt was brewed by Fukushima’s HOP JAPAN, a microbrewery in Tamura that also grows hops with local farmers. They’ll visit Tokyo for FRESH HOP 2026 on September 27.
MugiI want one neat first, then one with yuzu liqueur! At Bibibi. in Daikanyama, let’s make it a two-stage toast right now!
A beer designed for both sipping and mixing
Daikanyama beer pub Bibibi. has announced its new original beer, DAIKANYAMA Weisse. The beer was created for a collaboration between the craft beer and sake clubs active on the Shibuya community app MABLs.
The concept was to make a beer that could be enjoyed in two ways: neat, or as a beer cocktail. It was developed to pair with yuzu liqueur from Tamanohikari Sake Brewery, creating a bridge between craft beer and a liqueur associated with the sake world.
Brewed by HOP JAPAN
The beer was brewed by HOP JAPAN, a microbrewery in Tamura, Fukushima. Founded in August 2020 after renovating the former public facility Green Park Miyakoji, the brewery works with local contract farmers to grow hops and produces beer with its own fresh harvests.
DAIKANYAMA Weisse uses the traditional German Berliner Weisse style. Brewed with wheat and known for its lactic acidity, Berliner Weisse is also traditionally served in Germany with flavored syrups, making it a natural choice for a cocktail-oriented beer. The alcohol content is 4.0%, with a crisp, refreshing acidity and an easy-drinking character.
The beer was unveiled at an event held at Shibuya Sakura Stage on September 3, 2026. Mixed with Tamanohikari’s yuzu liqueur, its gentle sweetness tightens the acidity while bringing a bright citrus aroma to the glass.
Bibibi. presents craft beer together with the stories of its brewers, keeping the distance between maker and drinker close. Located in Daikanyama, the pub offers a setting where guests can explore both the beer itself and the ideas behind it. HOP JAPAN is also scheduled to visit Bibibi. on September 27 for the FRESH HOP 2026 in Tokyo release event.
