Located on the 3rd floor of the Ura-no Building in Ginza Rokuchome, "Bakushuya Luprin" is a popular beer bar that specializes in domestic craft beers and wines, offering delicious dishes that pair well with drinks. They also serve amazing shaved ice made with natural ice from "Yonedaime Tokujiro" in Nikko. The owner, Mr. Nishizuka Akihisa, focuses on menus that convey the feelings of producers. With a cozy atmosphere and 10 counter seats and table seats, the bar has many regular customers. Tonight, I stopped by "Bakushuya Luprin" for a second round and enjoyed the natural shaved ice with gin as a snack. The menu included wild boar bacon and Moroccan green bean potato salad, homemade pickles, grilled natural Tsukiyama bamboo shoots, raw flatfish, Tsukiyama bamboo shoots and short-horned beef tripe risotto, and blueberry and lemon mousse shaved ice. For drinks, we had craft beer from Far Cry Brewing in Kiryu, domestic lemon sour, domestic wine from Sakai Winery, and craft gin from Tatsumi Distillery. The owner, Mr. Nishizuka, explained that the name "Luprin" refers to the grains around the core of the female hop flower. He generously sprinkled seasonal gin from Toranomon Distillery on the shaved ice, and it was surprisingly delicious when eaten with gin. We had a great time chatting with the friendly and kind Mr. Nishizuka until after closing time. Thank you for the meal. We will visit again.

I asked for a certain whiskey in a highball, but the server made a gesture as if it was impossible and said, "Oh, we don't have highballs for that, it's expensive." It's fine to refuse, but I thought they would at least suggest something like having it on the rocks or straight. But they didn't offer any alternative. If they don't want to serve it in a highball, shouldn't I be able to specify how I want it beforehand? Just because I'm paying doesn't mean I have to accept what they offer. After refusing, they left the bottle on the table for the whole time (･･;) Please take it away quickly (laughs)

The interior of the shop has a mysterious atmosphere like a Showa-era Western-style mansion, making it very cozy. The menu is written on sheet music, which is quite stylish. They have a wide variety of craft beers that hit the spot. Cheers with the specialty shaved ice and craft beer. The fruity beer with a hint of bitterness and the sweetness of peaches mixed together was delicious!

This time, we mainly focused on shaved ice. Although the food also looked delicious and caught my interest, it took a while for it to come out, and in the meantime, I felt hot and sweaty. However, the shaved ice was very delicious, and the lemon sauce had a sophisticated flavor!

White wine from Kyoeido for ¥1,100, craft beer from Kyoto Brewing called "Ichi-go Ichi-e" for ¥1,100, peach and Amaro mousse kakigori for ¥2,500, craft beer "Moon" from Brasserie Note for ¥1,100, 2 appetizers of white bitter gourd for ¥6,800. The kakigori had a generous portion and the alcohol was delicious.

I was supposed to go with a friend, but ended up visiting alone. I decided to eat whatever I liked, so I tried various dishes, but many of them were meant to be shared, so it might be better to go with someone else than alone. However, the colorful vegetable terrine was amazing! I would come back just to eat that. I also had spring rolls and some kind of yukhoe, I think... I forgot to take a picture of the skewers, but they were delicious! There were many types of beer available, which was fun! The shaved ice is said to be a specialty, but I couldn't make it that far as I was already full, so I want to try it next time!

It was a wonderful shop where you can enjoy craft beer and shaved ice! I felt like having shaved ice in Ginza, so I visited this place. The alcohol and food looked very delicious, so besides the shaved ice, I tried many other dishes, and they were all very tasty! Especially, the eel rice bowl at the end was rich, fragrant, and exquisite. The shaved ice I came for was also very delicious, and I was completely satisfied being able to enjoy both delicious shaved ice and food! Thank you for the meal.

A quiet and sophisticated small restaurant on the third floor of an old building in Ginza 6-chome, surrounded by clubs and high-end eateries. They focus on using Japanese ingredients, with craft beer, game meat, and shaved ice being their specialties. The shaved ice of the day was strawberry and lemon, made with a soft texture by deliberately melting the ice slightly before shaving. Under the ample strawberry syrup, there is soy milk-based whipped cream, lemon puree, creating a sophisticated shaved ice that is not just sweet. They offer craft beers from Kyoto and Yamanashi, as well as around 10 types of sake with different characteristics. The vegetables used as side dishes are also uncommon. A restaurant with a focus on quality and uniqueness.

◯Menu Tried: Potato salad with wild boar bacon, grilled beef with karasumi, Craft beers The potato salad was unique and had a sophisticated flavor. The grilled beef paired well with the karasumi and was delicious. The craft beers were all tasty as well. ◯Atmosphere: The restaurant had a stylish ambiance with good lighting. It was a relaxing place to be. ◯Staff: The staff members had a good vibe. ◯Satisfaction: I was quite satisfied with my experience. I felt that I could casually visit for a meal anytime. I would like to come back again on a whim.

I visited in the early evening on a holiday. There was a counter and two 4-seater tables. Despite the early hour, the counter was full, so it's better to make a reservation on holidays. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice with dim lighting. The food was delicious, and they had a great selection of beers that you don't often see. I will definitely come back again.

I visited on a Friday night and the place was packed with customers. I wanted to try craft beers, so I started from the top and tried beers from Hokkaido, Kyoto, Gunma, and more, totaling 6 different kinds. The dishes were unique, with options like roasted venison and strawberry caprese, all of which were delicious. The venison had a rich flavor and felt healthy, perfect with beer. The meal ended with their famous shaved ice. The ice was fluffy, the strawberry flavor was strong, and there were even flavor changes in the middle! Please enjoy. The atmosphere was great, it was a lovely restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

A few years ago, a friend introduced me to a bookmarked restaurant that I had been wanting to visit for a long time. I called the day before and luckily there was a seat available! Located in the middle of Ginza, between JR Shimbashi Station and Yurakucho Station, this area is known for high-end boutiques, luxury restaurants, and historic bars. The entrance to the restaurant is a bit narrow, but there is a sign outside making it easy to find. The beer bar Luprin opened in June 2012, and in April 2020, Luprin Charcoal Grill opened on the 2nd floor of the same building. The beer bar Luprin has an open kitchen as you enter, with a counter seating for 10 people and two 4-seater tables, totaling 18 seats. The atmosphere is moody and dimly lit, with a mix of groups and solo customers, about an equal number of men and women. The staff, including two beautiful female staff members and a male owner/chef, were friendly and easy to talk to. The menu was cute, with handwritten notes on musical staff paper, showing attention to detail. I ordered the Farcry Hazy IPA from Gunma, Luprin Sour with vodka, live baby clam bruschetta, leafy green salad, pink cherry blossom sea bream, and Ezo deer loin. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious, showcasing the chef's creativity and skill. Luprin offers a variety of unique dishes using game meat, and their attention to detail and quality ingredients really stood out. The overall experience was fantastic, and I found a new favorite restaurant in a prime location in Ginza. Highly recommended for a cozy and delicious dining experience. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

On Friday night, after finishing dinner at the first place, I called the restaurant before 9:30 pm and was able to get a table right away! The atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice with reddish-brown lighting, but it was a bit lively. I ordered shaved ice and whiskey, which I had been wanting to try for a while. Maybe because I was a bit tipsy, I quickly devoured the sweet sauce and cold ice. I ended up staying for about an hour. While it's fine to just go to one place, I also thought it would be nice to visit a second place!

We were attracted by the cute name of "Mugiya Luprin" on Tabelog and decided to visit with 4 people. The name Luprin is named after "Mugiya" (barley shop) and is based on hops, which are the main ingredient in beer, providing bitterness and aroma. The restaurant is small but has a bright atmosphere and we had a pleasant time. Since everyone had dinner in the evening, we ordered some light dishes: - Lamb-flavored popcorn ¥700 - Smoked salmon and pumpkin salad ¥1,700 - Stewed game meat (bear and wild boar) ¥1,200 - Ezo deer loin ¥3,100 The most popular dish is the smoked salmon, which we ordered after hearing the recommendation from the staff. It looked cute and tasted delicious with the smoked salmon flavor. The lamb-flavored popcorn was also unique and went well with the oil used. The game meat dishes (bear, wild boar, deer) were all surprisingly easy to eat, and the cozy atmosphere of the dimly lit restaurant made for an enjoyable time. Despite being in Ginza, the restaurant has a somewhat homely feel, which adds to its charm!

After finishing studying around 4 pm, I searched for a beer bar near Tokyo Station, but could only find chain establishments. I decided to head towards a beer bar in Ginza that I had heard about. Despite being in Ginza, the bar was located in a quiet, run-down building. The interior was dimly lit, with a mix of older patrons enjoying wine. The bar had a selection of 6 Japanese craft beers on the menu, including the Far Yeast 3rd IPA from Gunma in a small 210ml size for ¥800. It turned out to be just the right size. The complimentary oden was a bit tough. For my second drink, I tried the Republic 69 IPA in a regular 360ml size for ¥1100. The food menu featured appetizing options like wild game dishes, mostly priced at over ¥1000. I opted for the Shimane Prefecture wild boar menchi katsu for ¥1200, which had a satisfyingly meaty texture. After a casual drink, I headed home.

Rupurin Beer House [Ginza/Cafe] Recommended for a second adult date spot! A beer bar where you can enjoy beer and shaved ice! Summer may be over, but personally, I'm still in the shaved ice craze, haha. After having a drink, we decided to visit "Rupurin Beer House" in Ginza for our second stop. When we called ahead, they mentioned they only had Plum and Blue Cheese Mousse (2,200 yen) available! When we arrived, there was only one shaved ice machine left, just in time! We decided to share one between the two of us. Since it's a beer bar, we enjoyed craft beer while waiting for the shaved ice. They had about 6 different types of beer, as well as whiskey, wine, sake, and more. The shaved ice is huge, even for two people! The refreshing plum sauce paired perfectly with the rich blue cheese mousse inside. Overall, it was a refreshing shaved ice dessert that was perfect for ending the meal. Aside from shaved ice, there were many other tempting food items on the menu! The cozy, slightly hidden atmosphere of the small restaurant with alcohol, food, and shaved ice makes it a great spot for a second date. Any girl who loves both alcohol and shaved ice will definitely be delighted. Thank you for the meal! If you'd like, please check out my other posts! I also have an Instagram (@ranko_foodie). Thank you!

In Ginza, there is a beer bar called Lupin in a building. The name is cute. I was intrigued by the craft beer and shaved ice made with natural ice from Nikko, so I visited on a Saturday evening. The atmosphere of the shop is nice, and the menu is stylish with a musical note design. I ordered a Muscat and Mozzarella, shaved ice with Prune and Blue Cheese mousse, craft beer, and lemon sour. There were 6 types of craft beer. And the shaved ice is huge! It was just right for two people. I couldn't imagine Prune and Blue Cheese together, but the combination was surprisingly good and delicious! The fluffy ice with sweet prunes, and the rich Blue Cheese mousse inside was amazing. I love cheese, so I couldn't get enough of it...! The shaved ice was delicious and it's no wonder it's popular. The atmosphere and service were great, and being able to enjoy craft beer and shaved ice made it a favorite spot that I definitely want to visit again! I think it's perfect for a date!

Ginza's izakaya and bar! A place where you can enjoy shaved ice, which is perfect for someone like me who can't drink alcohol. The name of the place is "Mugishokuya Lupurin." The atmosphere is cozy with mainly counter seating and a few tables by the window. The shaved ice menu offers two options, with the portion size being quite large. The first one I tried was Lupurin's shaved ice, priced at 2,400 yen. It was a big serving with homemade hop syrup and matcha mousse inside, topped with cream and hop decorations. The ice was thinly shaved, and the flavor was a mix of hop and matcha, giving it a sophisticated taste. The second one I tried was the Peach and Tofu Cheese shaved ice, which also had a generous portion size. It featured peach syrup with fruit chunks, tofu cheese cream inside, and was rich and creamy. Overall, both shaved ice options were delicious and satisfying. The restaurant also allows customers to order shaved ice even after having a meal at night.

Ginza Beer Bar. A well-known spot among beer lovers in Tokyo. While they are famous for their shaved ice, the main focus here is definitely the beer!! I visited on a weekend night after making a reservation. When we arrived, it was empty but quickly filled up, so booking in advance is recommended. On that day, the owner of a certain brewery was also there. They have both counter and table seating, and we chose a table. They offer a wide variety of beers on tap, mainly from domestic breweries. We tried beers from various breweries like Kokufune Brewery, Beer Brain, Hansho Brewery, Numazu Craft, and Kyoto Brewing. They have a good mix of Pilsner, Saison, IPA, and more. Not just beer, but they also have a great selection of food that pairs well with it. The appetizer, which was heshiko toast, was delicious! A place that serves tasty appetizers is always a good sign. Since it was spring when we visited, we enjoyed dishes made with spring ingredients like Sanba Farm's spring chrysanthemum salad, mozzarella and udo salad, homemade sea bream prosciutto, oyster and mountain vegetable fritters, cherry shrimp and broad bean cream croquettes, rapeseed flower vongole pasta, and homemade sauce and egg yolk. We had a great time and before we knew it, it was already 9 pm. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was very cozy. I'm curious about the charcoal-grilled food at the Rupurin on the lower floor too! A place that makes you want to visit again and again☆

Beer lovers will love this place! I visited a small restaurant that is popular among women, including the legendary chika** who I follow. It is located on the 3rd floor of a building on Suzuran Street, just north of the intersection of Koshu Society Street and Miyuki Street on the outer moat side of GINZA SIX. The restaurant has a counter seat and two table seats. I was lucky to get a seat at the end of the counter without a reservation. Besides beer, their shaved ice is also popular, and couples on dates were enjoying beer along with it. I ordered the following items: - Yorocco Beer Down to Earth (Tap1, small serving for 800 yen) - AJB Nozawa White (Tap2, regular serving for 1100 yen) - Ryukyu Wild Boar Sashimi (1700 yen) - Hanjaro Beer Yoritomo (Tap6, regular serving for 1100 yen) - Bonito Flake and Edamame Potato Salad (1100 yen) - Beer Keema Curry (1000 yen) - Iced Black Soybean Tea (800 yen) The total bill was 8180 yen, which I found a bit expensive, but the beer and food were delicious, and the service was great. The staff were friendly, and I felt like coming back again. I recommend this place to couples and solo diners. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

After finishing up my business in Ginza, I visited "Rupurin" here. It's a wonderful shop(・∀・) I ordered the Kukubuto Brewery Breaking Free IPA craft beer! It was very delicious(・∀・) I could only stay at the shop for 30 minutes, which was a shame. I definitely want to visit again! From the website: "Rupurin" is a small drinking establishment in Ginza where you can enjoy and appreciate the wonderfulness of unique small-scale producers of sake, ingredients, and natural ice in Japan. Craft beer is available in 6 varieties at all times. We also offer a variety of domestic whiskies, craft gins like Ichiro's Malt and Alchemie's Tamis Distillery, and many other rare brands. For food, we serve dishes made with cheese from Shimizu Farm in Nagano, vegetables from Sanba Farm in Chiba, simmered game meat, legal liver sashimi of Hachikin Jidori, as well as grilled meats such as Ashikaga Maru beef, Miyaji pork, Ezo deer, bear, and more. We also have rice dishes for dessert.
