Hop BroKashiwa has fresh news! Komainu Brewing opened its taproom, "Komainu Brewery Taproom B&T PLUS," at 18:30 on March 5, 2026.
MugiWhoa! B&T PLUS sounds powerful just from the name! When was it announced?
Hop BroIt was announced in an Instagram post at 19:07 on March 4, 2026, and the speed of opening the very next day is impressive. Weekdays are 18:30-21:00 L.O., and Saturdays are 17:00-21:30 L.O.
MugiWhat? Does L.O. mean last order? Like the final beer bell?
Hop BroExactly, it means the cutoff time for orders. If you rush in right before closing, there's a chance you'll end up staring at the noodles and going home, so be careful.
MugiAnd a tag team of craft beer and Kashiwa dandan noodles is amazing! Have the beer names been announced yet?
Hop BroIn this announcement, the individual beer names haven't been put front and center yet; the focus is on designing the experience around "beer and food." Since Komainu Brewing is a brewery that champions "beer diversity," I expect they'll roll out a wide range of styles.
MugiStyles? Like clothing styles? Does the beer world have "smart casual"?
Hop BroIt does. Styles are the flavor frameworks, like IPA or lager. For dishes with spice and richness like dandan noodles, pairing works by matching the aroma and bitterness.
MugiOhhh! So that's what they mean by one-of-a-kind! If B&T PLUS has both beer and noodles, I want to go right now!
Hop BroThat's settled then. Let's go test Komainu Brewing's beer and dandan noodles in Kashiwa on the next day off. Everyone reading this is definitely going to want a drink too!
