At KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda, Tokyo, a guest-beer announcement highlighted Arigato! Saison from Tsugaru Brewing. The basement beer pub pairs craft beer with sake, natural wine, and oden-centered dishes, so the tap news fits the venue’s food-first style naturally.

Arigato! Saison is a rice-based Saison brewed with Japanese rice from Aomori. The result is described as crisp, with a deeper grain character and a clean finish, making it an easy food-pairing beer. It should sit well beside dashi-rich oden and other simple, savory plates.

KARAKURI also offers bottle and can takeaway, draft takeout, and growler fills, so the beer can be enjoyed on-site and then brought home. For drinkers in Kanda looking for a Saison that works with a warm, relaxed meal, this is the kind of tap update worth noting.
