CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch Announces June 7 Closure, Pours Kiyosato Lager and Sanriku Oyster Stout
The Otemachi beer pub posted on Instagram that it will be closed on June 7 because the building is shutting down. The update also spotlights today's taps: Kiyosato Lager from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown and Sanriku Oyster Stout from Iwate Kura Beer.
Hop BroHere’s the headline: closed on the 7th, but the beers tapped before that are the real draw. At CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch, they’ve got Kiyosato Lager from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown and Sanriku Oyster Stout from Iwate Kura Beer.
MugiWhat! A closure notice and a beer flex at the same time? My emotions are doing flight changes. So we just need to avoid the 7th, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s on the first floor of TOKYO TORCH Tokiwabashi Tower, and it’s a beer pub with around 30 draft beers plus counter seats, so it works for solo drinking or a full meal.
MugiNice! Lager and stout on the same day sounds like a perfect two-glass personality test.
Hop BroAnd the contrast is sharp. Kiyosato Lager is crisp and clean, while the oyster stout leans on roasted malt and a briny, seaside kind of character.
MugiHold on, bottom fermentation? What is that? It sounds like the beer is whispering secret plans under the tank.
Hop BroIf only. It just means a lager-style process where yeast works slow and cold, which usually gives you a cleaner, sharper finish.
MugiOkay, that helps! Then what about the oyster stout? Is that ocean note like a sea breeze sneaking out of the glass?
Hop BroThat’s the idea. People often enjoy the balance of mineral character and roast, and next week the shop also has a 13-tap takeover plus Gaeng Pa curry coming in, so the follow-up is strong too.
MugiI’m sold. We skip the closed day, grab the lager and oyster stout, and then start plotting for the tap takeover and curry round.
Hop BroThat’s the move. A mountain lager and a sea-inspired stout in one stop is just too drinkable a lineup to ignore.
CRAFT BEER Market Tokyo Torch sits on the first floor of TOKYO TORCH Tokiwabashi Tower in Otemachi and is known as a beer pub with around 30 rotating draft craft beers. With counter seating and an easygoing setup, it works well for both solo drinking and casual meals.
In the Instagram post, the shop first warned followers that it would be closed on the 7th due to a building closure. The message is straightforward and practical for anyone planning a visit.
The post also highlighted the day’s beers:
- Kiyosato Lager from Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown
- Sanriku Oyster Stout from Iwate Kura Beer
That pairing gives a clear sense of the shop’s guest-beer range: a crisp, approachable lager alongside a richer stout with a distinctive seafood-inspired character. The post also previewed a Nagano Trading 13-tap takeover for the following week, suggesting that the lineup will keep changing after the closure. With a weekly curry special and a broad beer program, the venue remains a useful stop for craft beer drinkers in central Tokyo.
