Tasting KUNITACHI BREWERY's Three Signature Beers at Beer Hall Kasugai in Kunitachi
Beer pub "Beer Hall Kasugai" in Kunitachi, Tokyo, is a place where you can enjoy draft beer from the attached KUNITACHI BREWERY alongside a meal. Its official site highlights the three regular beers, limited-edition beers, and a beer flight with four tasting pours, making its relaxed Japanese-modern space part of the appeal.
Hop BroToday I’m introducing Beer Hall Kasugai in Kunitachi, Tokyo. The big draw is that you can enjoy draft beer from the attached KUNITACHI BREWERY right inside the shop.
MugiWait, it’s a beer pub with its own brewery attached? Being able to drink beer made on the spot, on the spot, is basically an instant win!
Hop BroAnd the regular lineup has three beers: the Kolsch 1926, the Hazy IPA Rutsubo Hazy, and the Session IPA Sekai wa tenmetsu suru mozaiku moyou no you ni.
MugiThat name alone is overloaded with information! Sekai wa tenmetsu suru mozaiku moyou no you ni sounds like I’m out of breath before I even order!
Hop BroBut the beers themselves are easy to understand. 1926 is a 4.5% Kolsch, so it’s light and easy to drink.
MugiOhhh! So Kolsch means something refreshing and easy to drink. Sounds like it would be easy for a beginner like me to get into!
Hop BroExactly. And Rutsubo Hazy is all about hop-driven juiciness. It has a hazy look and this gentle burst of fruity aroma.
MugiWhat is that! Hop-driven juiciness makes it sound like beer is approaching me with the face of a smoothie?
Hop BroThat’s pretty much the idea. On top of that, there’s a four-beer flight, so it’s fun to compare the three styles and find what you like.
MugiAnd they even have braised pork belly set meals? Amazing! If I drank with a meal in that Japanese-modern space, I’d definitely end up staying forever!
Hop BroYeah, what’s great is that you can drink calmly in Kunitachi’s residential neighborhood. Now I’m really starting to want to compare the three draft beers.
MugiI’m totally in too! I want to go have a slow, proper drink in Kunitachi right now!
"Beer Hall Kasugai (KUNITACHI BREWERY)" in Higashi 3-chome, Kunitachi City, Tokyo, is a beer pub created by the century-old liquor store Sekiya. Its biggest feature is that you can taste the craft beer brewed at the attached brewery right in the restaurant, and the official site prominently emphasizes that it can be enjoyed "on draft."
The beer lineup centers on three regular beers and limited releases. The regular beers featured are the Kolsch-style 1926, the Hazy IPA Rutsubo Hazy, and the Session IPA Sekai wa tenmetsu suru mozaiku moyou no you ni. 1926 is a 4.5% Kolsch inspired by the old Kunitachi Station building from 1926, Rutsubo Hazy is known for its hop-driven juiciness, and Sekai wa tenmetsu suru mozaiku moyou no you ni is a 3.5% session IPA that puts Mosaic hops front and center, offering a pleasant balance of lightness and aroma.
As for how to drink, the beer flight that lets you choose four varieties is an easy way to compare the differences in flavor. JRE Media also introduced a pairing of beer with a braised pork belly set meal made with Momo pork, a specialty of Kitaakita City, showing that the place is designed to work well with a substantial meal too. Even though Beer Hall Kasugai is in a residential area of Kunitachi, another plus is that its calm Japanese-modern atmosphere makes it easy to linger.
Inside, there are counter seats, table seats, and terrace seats on the first floor, while the second floor has reservation-only seating and a space for events. Built around beer as the main attraction, but also suitable for dining gatherings and events, it is a spot well suited to anyone who wants to take their time enjoying craft beer in Kunitachi.
