Hitachino Brewing Lab Tokyo Station

As if an entire bar dedicated to one of Japan's very best lines of craft beers wasn't enough in itself, Ibaraki's Kiuchi Brewery, famed for its Hitachino Nest beers that have been instrumental in spreading the gospel of Japanese craft abroad, offers adventurous patrons an opportunity to study the art of homebrewing at their second 'brewing lab' (the first one is in Akihabara). Located up on the pedestrian deck on the east (Yaesu) side of Tokyo Station, this newcomer features ten taps and an innovative food menu listing delicacies like the Hitachi mackerel sandwich, pork cutlet sandwiches and colourful pickles served in cans.
