Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Shimomeguro, Meguro, posted on Instagram on Monday, Aug. 17 to say it was back to normal service after the Obon break. The bar focuses on domestic craft beer, wine, and spirits, and presents itself as a relaxed place to spend time comfortably.

That day’s lineup featured seven beers: Yokohama Beer "Yokohama Lager," Minoh Beer "Kokusan Momo Weizen [Wase ver.]," Shiga Kogen Beer "Snow Monkey IPA Orange ver.," Miyazaki Hideji Beer "Ki wa Yasashikute Chikaramochi," Good Hops "IPA centered on Tono-grown IBUKI," Kankiku Brewery x THE DODO HOUSE "Hakuchudo (White Noon)," and Kyoto Brewing "Sharaku Extra Special Bitter." The selection spans lager, wheat beer, IPA, and bitter styles.

The bar has 26 seats total, split between 12 counter seats and 14 table seats, with in-house Wi-Fi and stroller access. Its food menu leans Japanese-Western fusion, with items such as aji no namero, mehikari fish and chips, and fried rice with sweet-pickled shallots and bacon. It is the kind of place where beer fans can slow down, choose a pint carefully, and pair it with food.
