Craft Beer Market Otemachi adds seven new drafts, including Fujizakura Kogen Helles
Craft Beer Market Otemachi has announced seven new draft beers, including Fujizakura Kogen Beer Helles, Vector Brewing’s “Neko Panchi,” and IZUMI BREWERY’s “Easy Swing [Traditional Bitter].” The station-connected venue continues to offer a wide range of rotating craft beers.
Hop BroCraft Beer Market Otemachi just dropped 7 fresh taps, and the lineup is sharp. They even tapped Fujizakura Heights Beer Helles, which is basically summer in a glass.
MugiWhat, in Otemachi? You call that a wide lineup, so who made the cut?
Hop BroIt is stacked: Fujizakura Heights Beer Helles, Vector Brewing's Nekopunch, IZUMI BREWERY's Easy Swing, KOBO Brewery's Dark Lager, Shonan Beer Schwarz, BREWDOG PUNK IPA, and Shiroyama Brewery's 7Cs HOP IPA. That is from lager to IPA with no dead spots.
MugiSounds like RPG spells. Helles? Schwarz? I am going to bite my tongue before I get my first sip.
Hop BroThat is the fun part. Helles and Schwarz are both German-style lagers. Helles is bright and crisp, while Schwarz looks dark but drinks surprisingly clean and light.
MugiOkay, then what is going on with Easy Swing? It is only 4% ABV, but it still has real malt character?
Hop BroThat comes down to design. Easy Swing is an 8th anniversary beer from IZUMI, and even though it is their lowest-ABV beer ever, it still keeps a rounded malt feel and drinks beautifully over time. Very sessionable.
MugiHold on, I saw that expert face. What does sessionable mean? You cannot just throw beer-English at me and walk away.
Hop BroSessionable means easy to stay with for a while. And Shiroyama's 7Cs HOP IPA is a West Coast IPA built on seven C-hop varieties, so you get citrusy aroma with a clean finish.
MugiThat route sounds perfect: start with Helles to reset the palate, then finish under a cloud of hop aroma. And with direct access from Otemachi Station, the after-work temptation is outrageous.
Hop BroAnd it is not stopping there. They also teased SIBEERIA BREWERY's 15-tap takeover starting at 12:00 on July 4, so this tap list is basically daring me to go drink tonight.
MugiThen we are going. Give me Mexican food, a standing spot or the patio, Helles first and PUNK IPA after. I fully support a daytime pint.
Craft Beer Market Otemachi posted an update introducing seven new draft beers under the line, “It’s summer, it’s Otemachi, it’s the manager.” The new lineup includes Fujizakura Kogen Beer Helles, Vector Brewing “Neko Panchi,” IZUMI BREWERY “Easy Swing [Traditional Bitter],” KOBO Brewery Dark Lager, Shonan Beer Schwarz, BREWDOG PUNK IPA, and Shiroyama Brewery 7Cs HOP IPA.
Among them, IZUMI BREWERY’s “Easy Swing [Traditional Bitter]” stands out as a special anniversary beer brewed for the brewery’s 8th year. The post notes that it is the brewery’s lowest-ABV beer at 4%, with a malt-forward profile meant to be enjoyed in a full glass. Shiroyama Brewery’s 7Cs HOP IPA is described as a West Coast IPA made with seven hop varieties beginning with “C,” offering a citrus aroma and a crisp finish.
The rest of the lineup spans lager and ale styles, from Helles and Dark Lager to Schwarz and PUNK IPA. That kind of range makes it easy to move from a clean, easy-drinking lager to something more hop-driven in the same visit. Frequent turnover is part of the appeal at this Otemachi beer bar.
The restaurant is located on the first floor of Otemachi Financial City GranCube, directly connected to Otemachi Station. The venue’s official site highlights its setting among high-rise buildings, Mexican-inspired dishes made with vegetables from contract farms, and its frequent limited-beer rotation. With standing space and outdoor seating, it works for both a daytime lunch and an evening beer stop.
The post also previews a SIBEERIA Brewery 15-tap takeover scheduled for July 4 at 12:00. For beer drinkers who like a constantly changing tap list, Otemachi looks set to stay busy for a while longer.
