The reprinted edition server of the Showa era and the modern server, with a variety of pouring methods, the taste, aroma, foam texture, bitterness, sweetness, and carbonation change so much! It's called Beer University ♫ You can enroll if you go there! No exams required (laughs). They are extremely particular about the process from the beer barrel to the server and then into the glass, allowing you to fully enjoy the draft beer from the first sip to the last drop, which is quite a happiness! I was curious, so I visited! Located just a short walk from JR Nakano Station South Exit. The entrance to the shop is on the second floor up the stairs facing the atmospheric Nakano Brick Hill. The walls as you climb the stairs are decorated with beer-related items, creating an exciting atmosphere. We were seated at the counter and received a detailed explanation of everything in the shop. It's great that they explain everything thoroughly, as we are looking forward to enjoying a carefully crafted drink. It really feels like you've enrolled in Beer University o(^▽^)o. What surprised me was that despite having many types of beers, they serve only Kirin Lager as the draft beer! They focus on the pouring method to provide enjoyment! So, you don't choose the type of beer from the menu, but rather you choose the "pouring method." This is amazing! Let's try it out!! Tonight's class has six sessions!! (Details in the photo comments). The first drink is Beer University Pour.. ¥720. It's a drink from the modern server that is meticulously managed, with fine foam and a smooth and easy-to-drink taste. This is the first scene of today. It feels like a drink that focuses on enjoying the pouring. The second drink is Once Pour.. (2nd floor limited) ¥720. A drink that brings out the essence of draft beer with the Showa era reprinted server. A drink with a strong carbonation and beer-like taste. I wonder if this is how my dad used to drink it. The third drink is Milk Pour.. (2nd floor limited) ¥550. This is it. Honestly, you won't understand this feeling until you drink it (๑>◡<๑). It looks like just foam (laughs), but you can actually drink this foam. A mysterious beer. This pouring method is like the Czech Pilsner Urquell. The name of this drink is MLICO. The fourth drink is Refreshing Pour.. (2nd floor limited) ¥720. The foam is cool, and it's a sensation that's hard to describe in words. \(//∇//)\. The fifth drink is Melty.. ¥820. This drink is for those who say they can't drink beer. A woman who couldn't drink beer before is now happy to say she can drink it! By removing the bitterness from the foam and highlighting the sweetness and umami, this drink is perfect for those who find beer too bitter. The sixth drink is Nada Columbia.. (2nd floor limited) ¥720. There used to be a legendary shop called Nada Columbia in Yaesu, Tokyo. This drink pays homage to the legendary pourer. A drink with a strong foam and a strong beer taste. The appetizer is Edamame Beer Pickles ¥450. I can't believe this is the same draft beer! This is the highlight of my day! As the class was ending (laughs), I asked the principal a question, and he said that this is not a Kirin Beer antenna shop, but the principal used to be the owner of a local liquor store. The husband (principal) chose Kirin Lager. He said that it's easier to create variations in the pouring method with Kirin Lager. Well, there was also Asahi's Jukusen available as a guest beer. The principal, who is in charge of pouring, said, "The first drink often has a lot of beer. Through my experience of working with many different shops, I want to improve the quality of a drink from the pouring method to the glass, and make it even more delicious! I want people to know that by pouring carefully at home, the drink can be even more enjoyable!" So, was it an opening or a start of the school? He said that many restaurants from all over the country come to learn about the pouring method. In that sense, it might really be a university... Lastly, I was deeply moved by something... The principal cannot drink alcohol. He is what you would call a lightweight drinker. The principal said, "Even if you can't drink alcohol, you can still make a delicious drink. I want to prove that." He also said, "The room temperature is strictly maintained at 24°C throughout the year. The ability to reproduce the pouring method to this extent is because of the many feedback from countless people that I have carefully accumulated. This strong belief is reflected in this drink, and it deeply impressed me. A wonderful drink! I had a great time! Thank you for the meal! I think the principal works really hard standing all day, but keep up the good work! Looking forward to enjoying the soulful drink again.

A shop where you can enjoy Kirin Lager in various pouring styles. I had the university pour. I could feel that they are really researching temperature control, carbonation, and pouring techniques. This is something you can't experience elsewhere. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was great. It seems that during peak times, it's difficult to make a reservation by phone, so you need to book early or late. Thank you for the meal. I look forward to trying different pouring styles next time I visit.

Visited a famous place and tried various drinks like Visit Mirko once. It was interesting, but the difference between pouring from a tap and a regular beer is quite noticeable. Many people may not realize the difference in foam and taste, but the branding is impressive.

I was so impressed by how much the same beer can change depending on how it's poured!! I finally visited a place I had been curious about for a while. There was a line even before they opened. I had made a reservation, so I was able to get in smoothly, but it might be a good idea to make a reservation. There was a lively atmosphere, and the master carefully poured each glass. The way I view the beer I casually drink in my daily life has expanded significantly. If you love beer, this is a place you should definitely visit at least once.

Beer lovers will love it, but it's also recommended for those who don't like beer. It's surprising how they managed to eliminate the bitterness of the beer. I tried Nada Columbia for my first drink. I think it will be well received by beer lovers. It has a moderate bitterness of beer and a rich foam that doesn't disappear even when you shake it. I recommend this for the first drink.

I came to Beer University on a whim after seeing them on TV during their live performance at Nakano Sun Plaza. I was lucky to get in! They only serve one type of beer, Kirin Lager, but I was surprised to find that the way it is poured creates different variations in bitterness, sweetness, and foam (especially the foam-only Miruko). Each one is delicious! The quality of the snacks also makes you want to try them all. And the master's fluent storytelling, just like on TV, was truly impressive. It seems that the second floor is lively for groups of two, while the third floor is more relaxed.

I made a reservation this time because I didn't do it before, and off I went! I wanted to taste it right away at the counter seat, so I reserved the second floor seat! I definitely wanted to try the "Milko" (beer with lots of foam), so of course I ordered it, but I also tried a beer that was only available on the second floor from the menu. When pouring, the owner kindly explained various things. Also, his voice was attractive. Every beer and snack was delicious! I want to go again! Oh, as for the taste of Milko, it has sweet foam, and after a while, the liquid increases, making it a beer that tastes twice as good.

I was amazed at how much the taste of a beer can vary depending on how it is poured! They were all delicious, but I was particularly impressed by the creamy foam of the "Milko" beer. The snacks were also a perfect match for the beer, and the staff's conversation was enjoyable. I want to try everything on the menu next time I visit!

The bill came to ¥9,000 for two people. On average, beer costs around ¥700 per glass, and snacks are about ¥600. The Kirin Lager is served in various pouring styles, each offering a different taste experience. The entertaining demonstration of the pouring styles adds to the overall experience of the restaurant. The parent and child rice bowl served at the end is also excellent.

We visited the Beer University restaurant that we often see on video sites and were seated on the 3rd floor. It's intriguing that with just one type of beer, you can create various flavors by pouring it differently. The food is also delicious, so I think it's worth visiting at least once.

It's quite difficult to get through when making a reservation over the phone, so it's better to visit in person to secure a reservation. The way they pour the drinks is like entertainment, and the taste varies depending on the server. The staff will explain everything while pouring, and the voice of the server is also great. Enjoy the foam with the fantastic milk!

I went to a bar that I was curious about for a casual drink. I learned that the way beer is poured can greatly affect its taste. They use Kirin Lager, and although it took 5 minutes, they poured it three times. The foam had a strong presence and the lack of bitterness made it delicious. I also got to see how it was poured, which was a learning experience. That's why it's called a craft. Thank you for the meal. It was delicious.

I originally liked beer, but I was impressed by how delicious it can be with different tastes! Especially the foam cocktails were like mousse and could be enjoyed like dessert. I liked the Beer University pour the most, but I'm also curious about the Melty and other unique ones, so I want to go back again! The stay time at the shop was short, and the snacks were a bit limited, so it felt like a light drinking experience. It was nice to have both standing and counter seats! The prices of the drinks were not cheap, but if you consider that you are gaining knowledge from the explanations before drinking, it's worth it! Thank you for the meal!

The ale I had at this beer shop was truly exquisite! It had a rich malt aroma and a very smooth taste. The shop was spacious, allowing me to relax and enjoy my drink. The staff were friendly, and I had a great time. I would love to visit this place again.

It's mostly photos of food, but the beer is so delicious that it disappears in an instant (laughs). I invited my family and friends and they all became fans, the staff always greets me and the service, food, and of course the beer are all amazing! However, when I brought some colleagues from work, the initial staff who greeted us seemed a bit scary, and my colleagues had a bad experience. It made me sad because I love this place. But then the usual staff came to greet us, the food was great, and Yamamoto-san is wonderful, so we ended up having a good time! I will definitely go back, but it's a bit disappointing to think about encountering that person again. The other staff members are always cheerful and make it fun to drink.

The staff, other than the bartender, were friendly and provided us with a beer that completely changed our concept of beer. The snacks were a bit limited, so it was perfect for having 1-2 drinks before moving on to the next place. Cheers to the hospitality of the staff!

"Beer University" is located just 2 minutes from JR Nakano Station. This specialty shop uses a reissue server and the latest model server to pour Kirin Lager draft beer into 4 different flavors. When I visited on a Monday, it was so crowded that you couldn't enter without a reservation. Today, I was seated at a table on the 3rd floor. Since it was my first visit, I listened to a one-minute lecture on the 4 types of pours. All the staff members were cheerful and seemed to be having fun, which added to the charm of this place. I ordered the "first pour" first. The beer poured into a thin glass was meant to be drunk immediately without a toast. It had a good aroma and a refreshing taste. Next, I ordered the "second pour." The creamy foam was so fine that you couldn't see the bubbles. It quenched my thirst smoothly. While enjoying the "second pour," I ordered the "third pour" which took 5 minutes to pour. It was an easy-to-drink beer with reduced carbonation and bitterness. The fluffy, raised foam was a distinctive feature. There are various types of beer available, including the "Milko" which is just foam. The remaining beer had a hint of sweetness. The foam was served on a separate plate and had a bitter taste. There are 14 dishes available, and I tried the "Beer-Boiled Edamame," "Potato Salad," and "Char Siu Platter," but my attention kept going back to the beer. I look forward to trying the "Beer University Pour" with a crisp taste poured from a modern server next time.

Theme: From here to there, to dining halls and izakayas (988) Category: I can't live without alcohol. Finally, I was able to enroll as I had wished. I had heard that a disciple of Shigetomi in Hiroshima had opened a beer bar in Nakano, but I never seemed to find the right time to visit, and time passed until we entered the era of COVID-19. Thinking that I couldn't keep putting it off, I made a reservation and went to "Beer University." Wow. I mean, I didn't just go, I enrolled. As expected of Shigetomi's disciple, they only serve "Kirin Lager" beer, but you can choose from over 10 different pouring styles. Unlike Shigetomi's main store, there is no limit of 2 drinks standing, you can keep stacking up the glasses, and they also have a food menu. Nice. I'm afraid I might end up drinking too much (laughs). I went with a few people, so Jeremy is sulking inside me. What caught my eye on the menu before visiting was the "2nd-floor exclusive" pouring menu. Apparently, it's because the foam disappears on the 2nd floor, but ordering from there is possible. However, they want you to come down and drink it right away after pouring twice. Phew. You can go down to pour once. Of course, I started with one pour. The Nada Columbia pour and the Shige San pour were delicious. We ordered various snacks, so please refer to the photos. They all seemed to be designed to go well with beer, and they all paired perfectly. After this, we moved to a casual izakaya and drank a lot more. How much alcohol can you drink? That's a different story. Kerokerorin♪

Life is a series of choices, isn't it? 😊 As soon as I saw it, I thought it looked like Suneo's perm... haha (actually, when I looked it up, Suneo has straight hair). They have 11 different menu items across two servers, with a lovely introduction that is educational. I was so impressed by the beer at Shinbashi Lion that I thought it must be delicious beer, so I decided to visit. With 11 options to choose from, I was indecisive, but they say it can change your perspective on life, so I chose the third one. The Lion I was impressed by is usually poured in one go, but this time it came with rough, curly foam that looked like Suneo from Doraemon with a perm... haha. I prefer my beer to be ice-cold, but this one wasn't quite there, so it was a bit of a letdown. Hmm, for some reason, my outlook on life didn't change... 😊 It's still a learning process. Well, with 11 options, these things can happen, right? The tuition for this lesson was 720 yen... haha. If I manage to try all 11 items, I might just find my favorite one. ✨😊

This shop has two beer servers, one replicating the Showa era and the other the Heisei era. The main difference between the two is the size of the foam. The Showa era beer has a strong carbonation and a robust taste, while the Heisei era beer is creamy and smooth. Located in the hometown of Kirin Brewery, it's a must-visit for Kirin beer enthusiasts.

I went to Shigetomi Hotel, so I also came here. This place serves Kirin beer (Shigetomi Hotel serves Asahi). The menu was extensive, and the creamy beer I had was delicious. Shigetomi Hotel was very impressive, although I may have had too high expectations for the beer itself. However, I found the various other innovations interesting. It seems like a sports-oriented place.
