Located on the first floor of COREDO Muromachi 3 in Nihombashi, Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae is a beer pub marked by its blue beer-mug sign. The venue presents a combination of craft beer and “kuzushi kappo,” a relaxed interpretation of Japanese cuisine.

The tap list includes eight house-brewed beers and 20 rotating taps selected by the staff, ranging from international beers to Japanese local craft beers. House beers and major domestic beers are priced at ¥480 for 250ml, ¥680 for 350ml, and ¥880 for a 473ml pint, all tax included. The half-pour option makes it easy to sample several beers in one visit.

The featured “Drink All Day” from CRAFTROCK BREWING is a Kölsch with an ABV of 5.0%. It is described as refreshing and easy-drinking, with acidity becoming more noticeable toward the finish. The “Yamaguchi Ji-Beer” Pale Ale, also at 5.0% ABV, offers fruity aromas and a fuller flavor that stands up well to food.

Food selections include umakanai, made with grilled eel and thick omelet over seaweed; salmon rare katsu; a mountain of diced pork topped with egg yolk; and three types of hand-formed sushi-style bites featuring salmon and mentaiko, yurinchi chicken, and crab, fatty tuna, and salmon roe. The dishes use familiar Japanese ingredients while adding the richness and punch that suit beer.

The visit can also move naturally from beer to seasonal Japanese sake, including Saika hiyaoroshi from Wakayama and Jinrai akiagari kimoto junmai from Hiroshima. For drinkers in Mitsukoshimae looking to start with house beer, pair it with Japanese-inspired food, and sample several styles at approachable sizes, this pub offers a versatile after-work destination.
