THE KRFT STANDARD
- Tap-First: KRFT is an index built around what's pouring - so you can hunt beer, not hype.
- Maximum Signal: We surface the details that matter for beer bar decisions: style, brewery, availability, hours, and the practical stuff that ruins nights when you learn it too late.
- Partner Depth: Partner bars can publish richer info - like full tap lists - so you can choose with confidence before you arrive.
- Scan = Points: Scan at partner bars to earn KRFT points as you explore.
- The Door Check: Smoking or not? Cover charge? Cash-only? Standing vs seated? Last order? English-friendly? We put it upfront.
How it works

FAQ
Tap lists over rankings. Built for better nights.
What is KRFT?+
KRFT is a craft beer discovery app for Tokyo. Think of it as an index focused on one thing: helping you find what you want to drink, and where to drink it—fast.
Is the information accurate?+
The city moves fast, and so do we. KRFT relies on frequent updates from venue owners and the community.
Can I add a place?+
Yes. If you find a great spot that isn't on the map, tap 'Share a place' in your profile. We verify all submissions to ensure they match the KRFT vibe.
What kinds of places are included?+
Craft beer–focused bars and pubs across Tokyo. Some places are KRFT partners with deep details (like full tap lists). Others are listed with practical info so you can still make a good call.
Can I search for a specific beer or brewery?+
Yes. You can search by beer style and breweries, and narrow down by what you need tonight—like neighborhood, “open now,” and vibe tags when context matters.
Do you show tap lists?+
Yes—especially for partner bars, where tap lists can be managed directly by the venue. The goal is simple: less guessing, more “this is actually pouring.”
What’s a partner bar?+
Partner bars get richer pages in KRFT (like detailed tap info) and in-bar features. They also help keep the app accurate by updating their taps through KRFT.
What are KRFT points, and how does scanning work?+
When you visit a partner bar, you can scan a QR code to check-in and earn KRFT points. You can also scan again as you order more drinks to keep building your personal history and leave better feedback—without turning it into a review grind.
Is KRFT free? And what about privacy?+
KRFT is free to use. On privacy: we don’t share your personal identity with bars or breweries. Any insights shared are aggregated trends—not who you are.
Can I become a partner bar?+
Yes. If you run a craft beer bar in Tokyo and want to keep your tap list accurate and visible to people actively searching for what to drink tonight, we’d love to hear from you. Partner bars get a richer KRFT page, tap list management tools. Email info@krft.world with your bar name and location, and we’ll send the next steps.
