guri クラフトビールと多国籍料理

About

A craft-beer counter out at the far-west end of the Seibu line, in residential Hoya where beer this considered has no business turning up. Nine taps rotate through Japanese microbreweries — NAT.BREW, Kyoto Brewing, NOMCRAFT — backed by ten sake and a gin shelf pushing a dozen. The kitchen runs homemade multinational plates, Sichuan peppercorn and chili doing the heavy lifting, no chemical seasonings. Twenty-four non-smoking seats, low light, conversation-level hum. Doors at 5, last entry 8:30, kitchen thinning after 7 — come early and come hungry. Order whatever landed on tap this week against the mala-spiced plates; a 330-yen otoshi and one-drink, one-food minimum apply.
