Hop BroAt Tachinomi Beer Boy in Shibuya PARCO B1, they’ve got a guest pour from CRAFTROCK BREWING: Sansho Lager.
MugiWhat! Sansho Lager already sounds aromatic. Is it really a lager made with sansho pepper?
Hop BroYep. It uses grape sansho from an eel restaurant in Hachioji, so it lands as a Herb & Spice Beer while keeping lager drinkability.
MugiWait, Herb & Spice Beer sounds like a science experiment. Can I still drink it without overthinking my life choices?
Hop BroThat’s the clever part. At ABV 5.0% and IBU 20, it’s not too strong or too bitter. Basically, bold aroma, easy finish.
MugiOoh! I’m still learning the numbers, but sansho-forward aroma with easy drinkability sounds extremely like my thing.
Hop BroAnd it’s not just quirky. The first batch got a great response last year, it came back, and then won World Beer Cup gold in 2026.
MugiA standing bar in Shibuya is casually pouring a world-class lager? That escalated way faster than I expected!
Hop BroIt fits the place, though. They rotate domestic and international craft beer daily, and the standing bar vibe matches this crisp sansho lager perfectly. I want one now.
MugiThen it’s settled. It’s right by the station, so let’s head to PARCO for an immediate cheers before I start sniffing for sansho like a detective!
At Tachinomi Beer Boy Shibuya PARCO, `Sansho Lager` from CRAFTROCK BREWING was introduced as a guest beer. The post says the beer was first brewed last year and drew strong praise before going on to win gold in the Herb & Spice Beer category at the 2026 World Beer Cup.
`Sansho Lager` is a lager brewed with grape sansho sourced from a well-known eel restaurant in Hachioji. It is listed at 5.0% ABV and 20 IBU. The beer appears to balance a clear sansho aroma with the clean, easy-drinking profile expected from a lager, making it a natural pick for drinkers looking for a more distinctive but still approachable pint.
The shop itself is a standing-only beer pub in the basement of Shibuya PARCO, known for rotating domestic and international craft beers. Its convenient central Shibuya location makes it easy to drop in for a quick drink, and this guest pour fits the venue's casual, grab-a-glass-and-go atmosphere well.
