Hop BroKAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer at Kawasaki Azalea just posted about regular service and 18 taps, and their pick of the day is ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS' Makikaze WHEAT.
MugiWhat! A beer spot right under Kawasaki Station? Station-connected stand sounds dangerously convenient, especially when the weather is all over the place!
Hop BroExactly. It's a Tokaido Beer-run standing bar, focused on Kawasaki breweries but mixing in domestic and overseas craft beer too, plus takeaway cans and bottles.
MugiNice! If it's outside food allowed, I can grab snacks while shopping and pretend I planned the whole thing.
Hop BroAnd today's star is Makikaze WHEAT, a Weizen at 5% with banana-like fruitiness, clove-like spice, and a light easy-drinking finish.
MugiHold on, what is Weizen? And clove in beer? Why does this suddenly sound like my spice rack joined happy hour?
Hop BroIt's a wheat-forward style, and the yeast throws off esters and phenols that come across like banana and clove. In plain terms: soft aroma, gentle spice, and very easy to drink.
MugiOhhh, so the yeast is the overachiever. Also, names like Kuroi Shikan and Kuzumochi Ale are wild tap-list energy.
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. You've got Tokaido Beer pours like 1623 and UTAMARO ALE, Yokohama Beer's Pub Crawl IPA, and then June 13's fest brings HOKKAIDO CRAFT FES with four new Hokkaido breweries plus Tokaido Beer.
MugiI'm done for. Between the quick stop-in vibe and that event, I want a pint in my hand immediately!
Located inside Kawasaki Azalea near Kawasaki Station, the stand is run by Tokaido Beer and operates as a standing bar. The shop says it keeps 18 craft beers on tap, centered on breweries from Kawasaki City while also including selections from Japan and abroad, and it also offers canned and bottled beers for takeaway.
In the June 2 post, the shop said it would continue normal service for now even as unsettled weather was expected. It also noted that customers may bring in food, making the bar easy to use for a quick drink during a shopping trip, a pre-dinner stop, or takeaway only.
The featured beer of the day was Ishinomaki Hop Works' "Makikaze WHEAT," a Weizen at 5% ABV described as fruity like banana, spicy like clove, and light and refreshing to drink. The current lineup includes Tokaido BEER's "1623," "Kuroi Jikan," "FRO AGARI YELL," "Kuro ni Ukabu," "Guava," "Tama Kujaku," "Kuzumochi Ale," "Yoi no Iro," and "UTAMARO ALE," plus guest beers such as Novoru Brewing's "Novoru," HAKUBACRAFT's "Avalanche," TKBREWING's "TeardropAmber," Black Tide Brewing's "HOYA BOYA," OZONE BEER's "Kishimen Damonde," KUNITACHI BREWERY's "1926," Yokohama Beer’s "Pub Crawl IPA," Shiokaze Brewery Lab's "Houka," and Ishinomaki Hop Works' "Makikaze WHEAT."
The post also announced "HOKKAIDO CRAFT FES" for June 13, a joint event with four new Hokkaido breweries and Tokaido BEER. For beer drinkers in the Kawasaki area, it is a handy standing bar that works equally well for a casual pint and for event-driven visits.
