CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi taps Vector Brewing's Neko Punch and Fujizakura Kogen Beer's Diamond side BEAT
On August 4, CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi announced two new guest beers: Vector Brewing's Neko Punch and Fujizakura Kogen Beer's limited lager Diamond side BEAT. The beer pub in Tamachi is an easy stop from both Tamachi and Mita stations, making it a practical after-work destination.
Hop BroTamachi is looking good today. CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi just tapped two new guest beers.
MugiWhat! A place I can hit after work drops two fresh taps at once? That's a detour locked in.
Hop BroThe lineup is Vector Brewing’s “Neko Punch” and Fujizakura Heights Beer’s limited lager “Diamond side BEAT.”
MugiThat name goes hard! “Neko Punch” already makes me want to order it on sight.
Hop BroAnd “Diamond side BEAT” is a limited lager with a clean finish and a fresh hop aroma riding on top.
MugiWhoa, okay, but when you say fresh hop aroma, it suddenly feels like I’m being tested on beer vocabulary.
Hop BroNo need to overthink it. When I say the aroma pops, I mean you get a light citrusy lift before sipping, and the mouthfeel stays crisp.
MugiNo way, so it’s basically a best-of-both lager? Bright smell, smooth drinkability?
Hop BroExactly. And the Tamachi shop is known for casual French food, so you can pair it with carpaccio, pasta, and even charcoal-grilled dishes on the higher course.
MugiThat’s unfairly strong. Beer and food both? And six minutes from Tamachi Station means I’m halfway there mentally already.
Hop BroIt’s also four minutes from Mita Station, and comparing the 5.0% “Neko Punch” with the 5.5% limited lager sounds like a very solid plan.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to line up both beers side by side, grab some French bites, and go get properly punched by Neko Punch.
Two new taps
In its August 4 post, CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi highlighted two newly tapped beers. The first is Vector Brewing's Neko Punch, at 5.0% ABV. The second is Fujizakura Kogen Beer's limited lager Diamond side BEAT, at 5.5% ABV. The post describes Diamond side BEAT as a clean, crisp lager with a refreshing hop aroma.
Why this spot matters
CRAFT BEER MARKET Tamachi sits in the Keio Nakamichi shopping street and runs with a "popular French" food concept. In other words, this is a beer pub where approachable French dishes are built to work with the tap list rather than compete with it. The location is also convenient: it is about a 6-minute walk from JR Tamachi Station and a 4-minute walk from Mita Station.
The venue also offers banquet plans that make group visits straightforward. The official Tamachi banquet course starts at JPY 5,800 for two or more guests, while the fuller JPY 6,500 course adds more food, including a charcoal-grilled dish. For beer fans looking for a solid guest-beer update in central Tokyo, this is exactly the sort of place worth keeping on the radar.
