Hop BroToday’s topic, Kushiro’s Daniel 2 put out an Eastern Hokkaido local drinks feature that’s seriously hot.
MugiWhat! Daniel 2 is a craft beer place, right? So it’s like “everything local booze all at once”?
Hop BroExactly. And they even named Brasserie Knot in Tsurui Village and huitriere in Akkeshi Town, so stylistically it’s centered on the guest-beer slot while spanning Eastern Hokkaido.
MugiWhat does that mean! When you said “spanning” just now, do you mean something like a tap rotation?
Hop BroGood question. Basically it’s designed so you can compare not just Kushiro but the surrounding area too, and it’s a liquid terroir experience that follows the character of each place.
MugiOhhh! Fancy words, but basically it means you can tour the flavors of Eastern Hokkaido all in one place!
Hop BroExactly. And the Eastern Hokkaido-exclusive beer DOTO is confirmed as a permanent pour, plus they even have a tasting set, which is strong.
MugiWhoa! That’s great for tourists and locals alike! And reservations are as easy as DM or phone?
Hop BroTheir hours are easy to use too: open at 18:00, last order at 1:00, so it’s set up for long, leisurely drinking.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight we’re going to Daniel 2 for the DOTO tasting set, with Hop-nii’s commentary!
Daniel 2 (Sakaemachi, Kushiro City) is a beer pub that continues to operate with craft beer at its core. The theme of this post was “local drinks,” and what was striking was that it did not limit itself to Kushiro city proper, but introduced drinks from the surrounding area as well, treating them as part of the same Eastern Hokkaido and Kushiro district.
The names mentioned in the post were Brasserie Knot in Tsurui Village and huitriere in Akkeshi Town. It also clearly stated that DOTO, a beer you can drink only in Eastern Hokkaido, will be offered on a permanent basis. For tourists, it clearly signals something worth drinking here and now, and for local drinkers, it offers a reason to come back.
Points confirmed from the post
- Eastern Hokkaido-exclusive beer "DOTO" is permanently available
- Tasting set available
- Reservations accepted via DM or phone
- Business hours: opens at 18:00, last order at 1:00
Daniel 2 is characterized by posts that emphasize the experience of “actually drinking and checking out the drinks brewed in this land” rather than flashy production. Its downtown location on the first floor of Eirakugai C makes it easy to structure everything from an after-work drink to a leisurely tasting session. If you’re drinking craft beer in Kushiro, this is a place worth checking out for being able to savor the Eastern Hokkaido context along with it.
