Hyperlocal Tokyo

The entrance to the Ginza Line exit of Ginza Station is right in front of you as you exit the ticket gate near the basement entrance of Mitsukoshi. All three beers are ¥550! Please note that you can only drink two beers per visit! The glasses are rinsed and chilled to the same temperature as the beer before pouring! This is the best way to ensure a good head when pouring ✨ First (I didn't drink this one this time) It's poured in one go, so the head is a little rough and the carbonation is slightly less, making it easy to drink. ◇ Perfect Black Label This is the typical pouring method, but the foam comes out from the side of the server, so it doesn't hit the surface of the liquid. This allows you to enjoy the foam itself and the liquid remains fresh and flavorful with no loss of carbonation. This is the perfect beer that our store is proud of ⭐ It's truly amazing!! 😂 The bitterness is strong and the aftertaste is refreshing! This is a different level from the average izakaya! ◇ Hybrid This uses both modern and old-fashioned servers (swing caran)! The liquid is poured using the modern server, and the foam is poured using the old-fashioned server, creating a foam that is somewhere between foam and liquid. The taste is definitely different from the Perfect foam! ◆ Smoked Platter ¥580 Duck: The duck is ordinary 😂 Potato Salad: It has a subtle smoky flavor, which is nice ♪ The seasoning is also just right, making it a good appetizer ✨ Scallops: The smoky flavor is great and you'll keep wanting more!! ◆ Ginza Sandwich ¥580 This is a minced meat cutlet sandwich supervised by Nanban Gin-en-tei? The seasoning is mild, the meat is substantial, and the sandwich is crispy, making it very good ✨ It's a little big to take a bite out of, though 😂 There's a My Glass Purchase Service on the 1st of every month! This is a good service for those who want to drink from a special numbered glass that's just for you ✨ Those who are used to drinking beer at izakayas might be surprised by the difference in taste and drinkability.

【Visited in July 2024】 After an early dinner in Ginza, I stopped by this place. As a big fan of Sapporo beers, I had always wanted to visit this establishment. I had tried to come here several times, but there was always a long queue. Luckily, this time there was only one group ahead of us, and we were seated. This was around 7:30 pm on a weekend. The menu featured three types of beer and a few snacks. ■ Beer ・The Perfect Black Label ¥550 ・First ¥550 ・Hybrid ¥550 ■ Snacks ・Ginza Sandwich ¥580 ・Assortment of Smoked Appetizers ¥580 ・Fish & Chips ¥580 ・Spicy Octopus Salad ¥380 ・Curry Sausage ¥380 ・Two Types of Olives ¥380 ・Assortment of Two Appetizers ¥500 Since I was already full, I ordered: ・The Perfect Black Label ¥550 ・Hybrid ¥550 ・Assortment of Smoked Appetizers ¥580 The beer was poured with a detailed explanation from the staff, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The creamy foam was truly impressive. "The Perfect Black Label" is a beer that aims for the "perfect draft" through temperature control, washed glasses, and creamy foam. It truly lives up to its name, "Perfect." The smooth texture and unique flavor make it feel like a completely different beer, but it's incredibly delicious. "Hybrid" is a blend of "Perfect" and "First," the original beer. This one has a flavor closer to regular beer. It's still very good, but if you're coming to this place, I would recommend "Perfect." The "appetizers" were just okay... (laughs) If you're a Sapporo fan, this is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back. Thank you for the meal.

I've always wanted to visit Sapporo Beer Garden because I love Sapporo Beer. The Perfect Black Label had a creamy head, a refined beer flavor, and a smooth, elegant taste. My personal impression of Sapporo is that they offer beers that truly taste like beer, making them very easy to drink. I paired the beer with two types of olives, which made it even more enjoyable and led to me drinking more than I intended. The beer temperature seemed to be maintained at 3-4 degrees Celsius.

Located right outside the ticket gate, this popular spot offers beer immediately. There's usually a line, but it's worth the wait. The staff explained the different beers and the ordering system, which was more detailed than I expected. I ordered drinks and food right away. The beer arrived quickly, and I raised my glass in a toast! 🍻 The smooth foam and crisp taste were unlike anything I'd ever experienced. The quality control at this flagship store is truly impressive. I ordered everything on the food menu, and each dish was of the highest quality, like something you'd find at a fine dining restaurant. And it was all so affordable! The cucumber and mackerel salad was a perfect pairing with the beer. The location, interior, and price made for a truly exceptional beer experience. 🍺

Become a man who can tell the difference! w This is a place where you can compare different pours of Kirin Black Label, each with a unique focus on the foam. You can enjoy how the same beer tastes and feels different depending on the foam. It's a different kind of enjoyment than comparing different types of craft beer. Personally, I found the creamy foam, reminiscent of Guinness, to be very elegant and changed my impression of Black Label. The limited-time sandwich, a collaboration with a nearby restaurant (Osteria Da Ada), was also incredibly delicious. There's a two-drink limit per visit, it's a standing-only bar, and it's not a place to go for a heavy drinking session, but it's a great place to stop by casually, perhaps after shopping. It's a good conversation starter.
