Taiyoken Held at Kita-Sando FAM333, Check Out the Seven Beers Tapped on March 13
Craft Beer Tap FAM333 held "Taiyoken" starting at 18:00 on Friday, March 13. While ramen reservations were sold out, the venue served seven craft beers alongside side dishes. Here is a roundup of the day’s tap lineup, including the newly tapped RINGO FARMHOUSE ALE Fuji.
Hop BroThe day they tapped seven beers for Taiyoken at Craft Beer Tap FAM333 in Kitasando was the best, starting at 18:00 on March 13!
MugiWhat! I was bummed to hear the ramen reservations were sold out, but if the side menu is this solid, it's practically a serious beer event!
Hop BroThe star was MANGOSTEEN BREWING LAB.'s RINGO FARMHOUSE ALE Fuji, a farmhouse ale with a real apple-like character that lifts its aroma softly.
MugiWhat is that? Does farmhouse mean something like a "beer on a farmer's porch"?
Hop BroClose enough. It's a style that shows character through yeast-derived esters and phenols, so basically it's a spicy, dry-drinking beer.
MugiEsters!? Phenols!? Now we're suddenly in the science lab! But I'm curious, what was the rest of the tap lineup like?
Hop BroWAR BREWERY's VITA AMARA brought a bitter backbone, SHIMODA's NOVA FRUIT SOUR added tartness, and they even had Jojoshu Daiginjo Yomusubi ver. in the mix, so the lineup had way too much range.
MugiAnd then add Let's Beer Works Meow, Shiga Kogen Beer Sono Ju, and Minoh Beer's Nice Bitter REAL ALE too, and it's like a nationwide tour in one night!
Hop BroBeer Time ran from 12:00 to 24:00 (last order 23:30), and with the considerate seat-sharing atmosphere too, it really makes you want to decide on that first pint right away.
MugiWow! If I can enjoy both food and beer in Kitasando, then tonight it's settled: meet at FAM333, because I'm already craving craft.
The beer pub Craft Beer Tap FAM333 in Sendagaya, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, held "Taiyoken" starting at 18:00 on Friday, March 13, 2026. In a post, the venue announced Beer Time from 12:00 to 24:00 (last order 23:30). Although the ramen reservations were sold out, the bar prepared side dishes such as gyoza, garlic-sautéed octopus, and yurinchi-style steamed eggplant, making it a setup that could still be thoroughly enjoyed as a beer-focused outing.
The highlight of the day was the new pour of MANGOSTEEN BREWING LAB. "RINGO FARMHOUSE ALE Fuji". Along with this farmhouse ale, which evokes fruity nuances, the taps featured a wide range of styles. There was WAR (We Are Rising) BREWERY "VITA AMARA", aimed at a firm bitterness and backbone, the tart SHIMODA BREWING "NOVA FRUIT SOUR", and a collaboration release, CAMADO BREWERY x Iwamura Shuzo x Craft Beer Lovers "Jojoshu Daiginjo Yomusubi" ver.
In addition, the lineup included Let's Beer Works "Meow", a favorite among Tokyo beer fans; the reliable standard Shiga Kogen Beer "Sono Ju"; and Minoh Beer "Nice Bitter REAL ALE", creating a lineup that let drinkers move across hops, sours, Japanese elements in brewing, and a real-ale-like mouthfeel all in one night.
What makes FAM333 stand out is how it creates both the energy of a food event and a broad tap selection at the same time. From the guidance about crowding inside the shop and the call for guests to share seats considerately, you can feel the atmosphere of a beer pub where regulars and newcomers enjoy the same space. For anyone in the Kitasando and Sendagaya area wanting to enjoy food and craft beer together, it was a day not to miss.
