Okei Brewery Nippori Publishes May 24 Tap List, 12 Beers on Offer
Okei Brewery Nippori, a brewpub in Higashinippori, Arakawa City, Tokyo, has released its tap list for May 24, 2026. The lineup ranges widely from lager, Koelsch, and gose to IPA, making it an easy match for seafood and meat dishes alike.
Hop BroOkei Brewery Nippori, the brewpub in Nippori, just put out its May 24 tap list. This time there are 12 taps, so the question is whether you start light or dive into the hops later on. It really tests the drinker's personality.
MugiWhat, there are 12 taps all at once!? With that many, I feel like I'd be choosing my first drink until closing time!
Hop BroThe first half is easy to start with, thanks to clean styles like Helles and Koelsch. And since gose is in there too, the saltiness and acidity are enough to wake up your palate right away.
MugiA gose? What is that even supposed to be! It has salt in it? My brain can't keep up anymore. Is it beer or just salty water!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a beer with saltiness and acidity. Something like Shio no Kaze Gose gives you a sharp, crisp feeling when you drink it, so pairing it with seafood marinated salad or mussels would be really satisfying.
MugiOhhh! In that case, I'd want to start with the seafood marinated salad. What I thought was just an appetizer might end up stealing the spotlight from the beer!
Hop BroThe second half brings in names like OKEI IPA, Arakawa HAZY Under the Bridge, and Suruga Bay Imperial IPA, so you can really enjoy the hop aroma and bitterness. And with California Common in the mix too, it's interesting how the brewpub shows both boldness and drinkability.
MugiWhat is this! It's like a wave attack of hops. And the names are so distinctive that just ordering them makes you feel like you're picking a powerful character!
Hop BroThe food menu doesn't miss either. They have roast duck, beef tendon ragout sauce, and even sea urchin cream pasta, so they clearly don't intend for you to drink the beer on its own. It's designed to come together properly with the food.
MugiIPA with sea urchin cream pasta? That's already a deep hole of eating and drinking. And if panna cotta and raspberry sorbet come at the end, you're basically never making it home!
Hop BroAnd it's in 5-chome Higashinippori, so it's a perfect spot for anyone who wants to take their time drinking in Nippori. They also note that there's no bicycle parking, so if you go, make sure you think through your transportation and enjoy yourself responsibly.
MugiYeah, it really feels like a place where you want to drink slowly and carefully! Start with lager today and finish with IPA, or go all out from the beginning... just thinking about it makes me want to drink!
