Located on Motomachi-dori in Chuo Ward, Kobe, on the B1 floor of Kobe Plaza Hotel, "Beer Space On Tap" is a beer pub where you can take your time enjoying craft beer in a calm underground space. With just 11 seats, it is a compact setup that suits small groups looking to settle in and drink at leisure.

In this Instagram post, the owner greets customers with a "Hello" and announces that on Sundays, the bar opens at 3 p.m.. The hours make it easy to use as an option for daytime drinking, and they fit the atmosphere of the place well.

New tap of the day


- Nara Brewing / LOCOMOTION
- An AMERICAN IPA with 6.5% ABV and 25 IBU
- A glass layered with grapefruit-like citrus notes and pineapple-like tropical aroma
- The bitterness is not overly sharp, and the clean finish stands out

Today's on Tap


- Nara Brewing / LOCOMOTION
- Uchoten Brewing / Jazz (NITRO ver.)
- T.Y HARBOR BREWERY / Wheat Ale
- Edelpils
- Y.MARKET BREWING / Lupulin Nectar
- Y.MARKET BREWING / HOPPING SHACHI

Looking at the lineup, the range of flavors is well balanced, from the heft of an IPA to the softness of a wheat ale, the NITRO version of Jazz, and the two hop-forward beers from Y.MARKET BREWING. In Motomachi, this is the kind of place where you can settle into a quiet underground space and enjoy following the taps one by one.

Because each beer has a distinct character, it is recommended to start with something light for the first glass and then move on to hoppier selections from the second glass onward. For a day when you want to drink craft beer in Kobe's city center without too much noise, this is a place worth keeping in mind.
