kaoriあけましておめでとうございます。2024年も美味しいクラフトビールを堪能したいと思います。
Happy new year to beer lovers! We look forward to enjoying good craft beer in 2024.
一発目は、北沢小西。
下北沢駅から徒歩5分ほど。ビール冷蔵庫があります。店内でも飲めます。ただし16:00以降は約100円/1缶の開栓料が掛かりますが、それでも良いよね。沢山の種類があり、各ビールの説明も書かれてるので参考になりました。見たことないビールも可愛いラベルも揃ってて惹かれまくりでした。STAR WARSグッズに囲まれていて、ファンには溜まらないし、ファンでなくても釘付けでした。
Kitazawa-Konishi
Originally, “Konishi” was a sake shop selling sake from the Kansai region to Edo (Tokyo) during the Edo period. Kitazawa Konishi was founded in 1931 as a branch of Aoyama Konishi. Since then, the Konishi has gained recognition across Japan.
The store is about 5 minutes’ walk from Shimokitazawa station. There are beer fridges lining the store and there is a small counter if you want to drink a beer inside the store. After 16:00, there’s an opening fee of about 100 yen a can or bottle, which is fine. There are many kinds of beers, and a description of each beer is written for your reference. I was attracted by all the beers that I had never seen before and also by all the cute labels. Also, I was surrounded by a lot of STAR WARS merchandise, which is a must for fans, or even if you are not a fan. It was really interesting.
2軒目は、COASTER
下北沢駅から徒歩7分ほど。1軒目の下北小西とは目と鼻の先。広い空間、良い雰囲気で、音楽も良い。エントランスを開けると海が見えるのではないかと錯覚してしまう気持ちになる。実際は道路と薬局が見えますが（笑）自社Brewery の「海岸ビール」をメインとして、他社のビールも楽しめます。もちろんフードも最高でした。私の旦那さんが大好きなフィッシュアンドチップスもフムスも美味しかった。
Coaster is in Shimokitakonishi, which is about 7 minutes’ walk from Shimokitazawa station—just a stone’s throw from Konishi. Coaster is quite a large space, has a nice atmosphere, and plays good music. When you walk in, you feel as if you can see the ocean, even though all you can see outside is a road and a pharmacy (lol). You can enjoy their own brewery’s “Coastal Beer” as the main beer, as well as beers from other craft beer companies. Of course, the food is great too. My husband loves their fish and chips, and the hummus is also delicious.
3軒目は、Antenna America 品川
品川港南口にあるATRE の３階にフードコートにあります。Tap Beerと冷蔵庫に沢山の種類のアメリカンクラフトビールが揃っています。オススメはカウンターで飲むこと。AAのお客さんしかいないので、じっくりビールを楽しめます。各ブルワリーのグッズ（キャップ、フーディ、靴下やカップ、保冷バッグ等）勢揃いしてます。たまにアメリカからブルワリーの方々が視察にいらしてるみたいです。お会いできたら嬉しいですね。
Antenna America has a location in the food court on the 3rd floor of ATRE in Shinagawa station. There you will find a variety of Tap Beer craft beers on tap as well as many American craft beer cans in their fridges. I recommend drinking your beer at the counter, where only Antenna America customers are allowed, so you can enjoy your beer in a relaxed atmosphere. You will find a variety of brewery goods for sale too (caps, hoodies, socks, cups, cold storage bags, etc.) It seems that brewery people from the U.S. visit the brewery from time to time. It would be great to meet them.
