My second cease alongside the Chuo line was Musashisakai station, to go to 26K Brewery. If I hadn’t been checking my map carefully I may need missed it, because the taproom is inside a multipurpose area mixed with a espresso roaster and cafe. I used to be a bit not sure, however after I peered by the door and noticed a faucet line up I made a decision to enterprise in. Very like at OGA, I couldn’t see any indicators of the brewery right here, so I assume that’s both in a unique constructing close by or tucked away out of sight. (Getting ready this publish, I noticed {a photograph} which makes it appear like it’s on the cafe finish of the premises relatively than the top the place I used to be sitting). This place was fairly bustling on a Sunday afternoon and it appeared like folks have been having fun with all points of the multipurpose area. However as we’re right here to speak about beer, right here’s what it’s worthwhile to know:
- On condition that it’s a multipurpose area it’s a bit troublesome to work out what I ought to say about seating. By the beer faucets there was a small counter with 5 – 6 seats and that is the place I plonked myself. There are numerous extra seats within the cafe space although and I feel you’ll be able to sit wherever you need. Order on the until straight in entrance of the door and pay as you go. Good area with a pleasant ambiance and lots occurring.
- 5 faucets of their very own beer served in three sizes, quick (250ml), common (350ml) and pint (470ml). Costs have been the identical for all beers and have been ¥750, ¥920 and ¥1200 respectively. In addition they had a beer flight of three glasses of 170ml for ¥1250 which looks like a very good deal. Nevertheless, I solely seen this as I checked out my photograph to examine the costs so I didn’t make the most of it this time. I went for his or her bitter ale ‘Acerola Bitter’ and it was very nice. A really welcome and nice shock!
- Numerous meals choices (unsurprising because it’s a restaurant too). No cowl cost. Numerous daytime opening (closed Wednesday although) and so they have WiFi.
I actually appreciated the beer I had right here and would have appreciated to have stayed a bit longer. However you realize, on a mission, and all that. It’s a few 5 minute stroll from Musashisakai station so fairly handy if you happen to’re within the space. Saying that, this was the primary time I had ever been to Musashisakai, and possibly was additionally the primary time I had even heard of the station, so maybe it’s not so widespread for individuals who don’t reside close by to be within the space. Other than the good beer and good expertise, I additionally actually appreciated the brewery brand that was printed on their glasses. A enjoyable place and I’d positively return once more!
