Wailele in Shibuya to Pour Six FUKUOKA CRAFT Beers from September 6
Wailele, a beer pub in Shibuya, Tokyo, will serve six beers from FUKUOKA CRAFT starting September 6, 2026. The selection spans Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, hard seltzer, and Dry-Hopped Lager, offering a broad taste of the Fukuoka brewery’s range.
Hop BroFrom 3 p.m. on Sept. 6, Wailele in Shibuya’s Dogenzaka will tap six FUKUOKA CRAFT beers. That calls for an emergency tasting meeting!
MugiWhat? Six beers from Fukuoka are landing in Shibuya? And we can start drinking in the afternoon—my calendar is already fizzing!
Hop BroOne headliner is Ichiban Shiroi Neko, a 7% Hazy IPA with a plush body from wheat and oats.
MugiWhat even is hazy? Does it mean a cloudy beer? Will clouds come out if I swirl the glass?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a cloudy IPA style built around hop aroma and softness. Citra and Nectaron layer on tropical fruit aromas.
MugiOoh! Then GREAT BEAR uses Idaho 7 and Vera for citrus and pine—so it’s a firmly bitter IPA!
Hop BroExactly: an 8% West Coast IPA with crisp bitterness at its core, like a West Coast wave waking up a pampered palate.
MugiPlease don’t make my tongue surf! For something lighter, the salt-and-lemon hard seltzer Mr. Salt at 5% sounds perfect.
Hop BroGreat call. Niwaka Lager is also a collaboration with Tounendou, using Citra and Azacca in a dry-hopped lager.
MugiDoes dry-hopped mean the hops get dried? Are they trying to make beer crisp like laundry?
Hop BroIt means adding hops after fermentation to pull out aroma without piling on too much bitterness—giving the lager a vivid green hop aroma.
MugiThere’s also BURABURA HAZY IPA and the core Hazy IPA, both 6.5%, so I want to conquer all six beers! Let’s toast at Wailele!
Wailele, a beer pub located in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will welcome six beers from FUKUOKA CRAFT starting at 3 p.m. on September 6, 2026. The lineup covers hop-forward IPAs as well as lighter, highly refreshing options.
The selection begins with Ichiban Shiroi Neko, a 7% Hazy IPA brewed with generous amounts of wheat and oats. Citra and Nectaron hops contribute a fruity, juicy aroma, while the oat-rich body gives the beer a soft and creamy texture.
At 8% ABV, GREAT BEAR is a robust West Coast IPA featuring Idaho 7 and Vera hops. Tropical fruit, citrus, pine, and a firm bitterness shape this powerful beer.
For a lighter choice, Mr.Salt is a 5% hard seltzer made with salt and lemon. Its clear appearance and crisp, sparkling profile make it an easygoing option.
Niwaka Lager is a collaboration with Toundokou, the company known for Hakata’s Niwaka Senpei confectionery. This 5% Dry-Hopped Lager uses Citra and Azacca, combining a familiar lager base with bright citrus and fresh hop aromas.
The lineup also includes BURABURA HAZY IPA, a 6.5% collaboration with Hakata confectioner Saemon, and FUKUOKA CRAFT’s long-running Hazy IPA, also at 6.5% ABV. Both offer the smooth oat-derived texture and hop character associated with the style.
Wailele is located on the second floor of Arai Building at 1-7-8 Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Tokyo. With weekend service beginning at 3 p.m., the pub provides a convenient setting for tasting all six FUKUOKA CRAFT beers. Availability and business hours should be confirmed with the venue before visiting.
