Located inside Kawasaki Azalea, just a short walk from Kawasaki Station, KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer is a standing-style beer pub that is easy to drop into. The venue allows outside food, so it works well for a quick drink after shopping, a stop before a night out, or a takeout-only visit.

On June 13, the shop is set to hold HOKKAIDO CRAFT FES. The event brings together four new breweries from Hokkaido and Tokaido BEER, giving drinkers in Kawasaki a chance to compare a broad range of local styles in one place.

The recommended beer in the post is KUNITACHI BREWERY's newly tapped `903/take.8`. It is an Altbier at 4.5% ABV, described as having a spicy hop aroma, toasted and nutty depth, and a bread-like sweetness.

The 4:35 p.m. lineup includes Tokaido BEER's `1623` IPA, `黒い弛緩` Porter, `FRO AGARI YELL` Harb Ale, `黒に浮かぶ` Coffee Stout, `グァバ` Fruit Hazy IPA, `玉孔雀` Pale Ale, `くず餅エール` Amber Ale, and `宵のいろ` Scotch Ale, plus `UTAMARO ALE` Milk Shake IPA. Other taps listed are Novoru Brewing's `Novoru` Session IPA, HAKUBACRAFT's `Avalanche` IPA, TKBREWING's `TeardropAmber` American Amber, Black Tide Brewing's `HOYA BOYA` Hazy IPA, OZONE BEER's `きしめんだもんで` American Wheat, Yokohama Beer’s `Pub Crawl IPA`, Shiokaze Brew Lab's `芳霞Houka` Hazy IPA, and ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS' `巻風WHEAT` Weizen.
