Uokin Brewing Stand

Uokin Brewing Stand was a shop on the first floor of Kanda Square, but it has actually been closed since December 2021.

It was a standing-style spot centered around a 14-seat counter, the kind of place you could drop into quickly after work. They even had a tiny brewing setup inside, so small it was called a "micro-micro brewery," and they served six kinds of craft beer at all times.

Exactly. What was interesting here was the concept of beer that pairs with fish. The brown rice lager "Yui-yui-" used a special kind of brown rice, and its crisp flavor was perfect with sashimi. The fruity character of "Ran & Ran" and the balance of hop bitterness and roasted barley aroma in "Mugiame" were great too.

Exactly. Uokin is an izakaya that sources fish fresh from Toyosu every day, so the beers were designed with those fish dishes in mind. That’s why styles like lagers and pale ales, which have a clean finish, were common.

Right in the middle of Kanda’s office district, after all. It sounds like the kind of place people would stop by for a quick drink before a meeting. I’d be happy if they reopened.
