A quick look at the new craft beer bar in Ise, featuring photos taken on my cell phone (forgot my real camera at home).
The bar, which used to be the owners' living room, is in this nondescript building near Iseshi Station. They still live upstairs.
Sakakibara-san, who still has his day job with Ise Kadoya as a buyer and brewer, stands behind the bar. He's a nice guy and a beer lover who thinks Japanese brewers need to step up their game.
Above the bar, you can still see the remains of the wall that used to belong to the bathroom.
The menu features a variety of beers from around Japan and the world. Prices are good for craft, with a featured IPA from Brewdog coming in at 600 yen for a glass.
The beer from Brewdog comes in what I describe as plastic orbs, which are housed inside the casing shown in the second shot.
Here's a Hardcore IPA from brewdog. I like the Punk a bit better.
There are eight beers on tap, but Sakakibara-san hopes to make the 12 in the bar's name come true one day.
