CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Pennylane taps two new guest beers
CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Pennylane announced two new beers: Hime Beer’s SAISON YUZU and Johana Beer’s Blood Orange. The beer pub continues to pair a daily rotating tap list with house-made dumplings and other food-friendly options in Kichijoji.
Hop BroA rainy-day Kichijoji update just landed: two fresh taps at CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Penny Lane. Hime Beer’s “SAISON YUZU” and Johana Beer’s “Blood Orange” are now on.
MugiWhat, that already sounds good! Yuzu and blood orange feels like the exact combo to brighten up a rainy day!
Hop BroFirst up, SAISON YUZU from Hime Beer is a tart, crisp saison that drinks really easily. You get a soft yuzu nuance, so it sounds perfect as an opener.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? It sounds seasonal, but why do I suddenly feel like I'm taking a beer quiz?
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style beer, and the simple version is light and dry on the palate. Here, that gets layered with yuzu-like aroma and acidity, so it goes down clean.
MugiOhhh! Then Blood Orange from Johana Beer is more fruit-friendly, like even bitterness-avoidant people can join the party? That might be my safety beer!
Hop BroThat’s basically it. With fruit flavor up front, it should feel really approachable, and the article makes it easy to imagine going from the yuzu saison straight into this one.
MugiAnd this place doesn’t stop at beer, right? Six or more house gyoza means my mouth is going to be fully booked in the best way.
Hop BroThat’s the strength of the spot: 30 craft beers on rotation, plus gyoza and spiced curry. You can do a tasting flight and a food crawl without leaving your seat.
MugiWait, curry too? Four kinds of spiced curry and now my stomach is applauding like it found its life purpose.
Hop BroAnd since it’s a street-level spot near Kichijoji Station, from lunch through dinner is fair game. Weekend all-day hours and takeaway are great, but honestly I already want to pick my first pint.
MugiI’m lining up gyoza and chasing it with Blood Orange. I want a drink now, and somehow the rain makes the plan even better!
Two new taps
CRAFT BEER MARKET Kichijoji Pennylane has added two new beers to its lineup: Hime Beer SAISON YUZU and Johana Beer Blood Orange.
SAISON YUZU is described as a crisp, easy-drinking saison with noticeable acidity. It sounds like a light, refreshing choice for starting a session. Blood Orange, meanwhile, is presented as a fruit beer that should also appeal to drinkers who do not usually gravitate toward bitter beers.
What the venue offers
The venue is a beer pub built around craft beer and dumplings. According to the shop information, it serves 30 rotating craft beers daily and offers more than six kinds of house-made dumplings. There are also food pairings such as snacks that work well with drinks, plus four kinds of spice curry.
Located in central Kichijoji, the shop works as an easy stop for lunch, afternoon drinks, or dinner. On weekdays it opens for lunch and dinner service, while weekends and holidays run from 11:00 to 23:00. Takeout is also available, so the beers and food can be enjoyed on-site or to go.
Drinking impression
These two new beers make for a straightforward, approachable guest-beer update. SAISON YUZU offers a citrus-leaning saison option, while Blood Orange brings a fruitier, less bitter path. Paired with dumplings or snacks, the lineup fits the venue’s beer-and-food style well.
