Cidernaut

About

Japan's first proper draft cider specialist, opened March 15, 2020 on Kamiyama-dōri in Oku-Shibu, eight minutes from Shibuya. Owner Hikaru Takeda spent six years in the UK — IT career first, then a year of MBA at Canterbury — and got hooked on the cider at a Canterbury pub-cidery; manager Shogen Wada, met during the same UK stint, was running an Irish pub in Tokyo when Takeda pitched him this. 12 taps split roughly 8–10 ciders and 2–4 craft beers, sourced from ~30 cideries across UK, France, US, Australia, NZ, Spain, and Japan; Half/Medium/Pint pours from ¥600–¥1,700, ABV 4–10%. The 3-cider tasting flight is the entry point — dry, traditional, sour, sweet, hopped, fruited. Modern-traditional 34-seat room with blue door, all seats pet-friendly. Kitchen does fish & chips, mussels in cider, house bagels, lunch curry. Closed Wednesdays.
