BEER BULK J in Tama City is a direct-run pub from 10ants Brewing. The shop offers draft craft beer and bottles, and it also supports takeaway with growlers, PET bottles, and a can seamer when available. Another practical detail: guests can bring beer into the adjacent Spice Kitchen Gear39, which makes the venue flexible for drinking with food.

In the July 3, 4:00 p.m. to midnight post, Kyoto Brewing’s Horebore was introduced as a new tap. It is a tart cherry porter built on chocolate malt depth and bright cherry acidity, so the dark beer character stays expressive without feeling overly heavy. Notes that evoke dark cherry and raisin make it a good match for drinkers who want a fruit-accented black beer with balance.

At a place like BEER BULK J, where you can sample a distinctive keg pour and then take home what you like, a beer with this kind of limited, seasonal feel stands out naturally. For a night in Seiseki-Sakuragaoka with beer and food, this is the sort of lineup worth checking.
