Hitachino Brewing Lab (Kanda Manseibashi)
常陸野ブルーイング・ラボ
Kanda Manseibashi · near Ochanomizu / Akihabara / Kanda Station
Directly-run taproom of Ibaraki's Hitachino Nest Beer, set in the restored red-brick arches of the former Manseibashi Station beside the Kanda River. ~10 taps of core and venue-only beers brewed on site, plus a good food menu.
Honest drawbacks: Can be busy; on-site brews sell out; riverside terrace weather-dependent.
