Why drinking on site matters
Much craft beer — especially aroma-driven styles like hazy IPA — is at its best freshest. A glass poured at the brewery or its taproom has seen minimal transport and storage. For freshness, nowhere beats the source.
Taprooms and brand-owned venues
- Taproom — a drinking space attached to the brewery, often with draft-only limited beers
- Brand-owned restaurant / pub — a place to take your time over food and beer
- Brewery tours — hearing from the makers changes how the same glass tastes
Bakushu collects brewery-run places where you can drink on site in the taprooms list.
Finding places on the map
To find breweries in a region you're visiting or near where you live, the map is the tool. Follow the pins to discover makers particular to that area. To browse by prefecture, search by region works too.
Before you go
Opening hours and closing days change. Our listings are based on public information, but check each brewery's official site for the latest before visiting. You can follow the link to the official site from each brewery's detail page.
Head out knowing your taste
If you're unsure which breweries to visit, taking the taste diagnosis first makes choosing a glass on the road much easier.
