A nice standing bar (micropub) not far from the train station. A couple of tables outside and a range of good beers on tap inside. There's also a fridge with cans of various types (mainly IPAs, around the ¥1,400 mark).

Great selection of Japanese & international craftbeer on taps. A lot of sake to choose and try. The store itself got a standing bar inside & outside so you can dine-in.

Wonderful staff and drinks!

The shop is smaller than the main store in Komae, and it's distinctive for selling 4-go bottles of sake to individual customers, as well as craft beer. The selection can't beat the main store, but they have original projects and events, and they're very conscious about blending into the local community. The staff are all unique characters, and everyone is nice. Sometimes there are people getting drunk in the store, which is part of the charm. Kagoya's craft beer is just really delicious.

【An encounter with a Java sparrow, happiness in a glass】 On the way home after enjoying ramen in Sengawa, I suddenly stopped and dropped into this shop. It's always full of products that catch my eye, and I often end up getting distracted and buying nothing, but today my wife recommended canned beers with designs she liked, so I obediently picked up 2. Both 355ml. In both looks and taste, they were quite the tricky characters. ■ Buncho – Inkhorn Brewing 1,100 yen One that captured my heart with its pure white Java sparrow label. Berry, citrus, and tropical aromas from Mosaic and Strata hops rise up. While it's dry and crisp on the palate, the hop bitterness and depth are solid. To a throat used to national brands, it may come across as a bit challenging. ■ WCB Birdwatcher – West Coast Brewing × Inkhorn Brewing 1,206 yen This is a hazy IPA collaboration with WCB. With a solid 7.0% alcohol, aromas like lime peel, pineapple, and muscat show up one after another. The balance of freshness and vibrancy woven by New Zealand hops is exquisite. For a casual trip home, it turned into an unexpectedly intense beer experience.
