Enjoy the ultimate Sapporo Black Label at a beer stand! Takano Beer Stand in Obihiro
From crisp to fluffy. Professional "Sapporo Black Label" changes depending on how you pour it
The main area is the L-shaped counter. It's also nice that you can charge your devices at each seat.
The only brand of beer they serve is "Sapporo Black Label Draft"! With a special pouring method using a "swing casserole", you can enjoy a special drink that you can't drink at home, such as the refreshing "Ichi-do-tsugi" or the flavorful "Sando-tsugi" with fluffy foam.
The fluffy, delicious foam "Sando Tsugi" 750 yen
The most popular item is the Czech beer "Mirko" (650 yen), poured just foam into a glass. The pure white shape of the glass is refreshing, yet still has the delicious flavor of beer, making it a one-of-a-kind way to drink it. The fun of Takano Beer Stand is that you can enjoy the change in taste depending on how you pour it.
The smoothness and foam of this beer is like a dream! "Mirko" 650 yen
Beer cocktail "Cassis Mirko" 700 yen
There are three types of snacks: nuts, edamame, wasabi persimmon pi. You can also bring your own snacks.
The secret to its deliciousness is the rare "Swing Karan Server" and the skill of the pourer
The owner, Mr. Takano, is a beer-loving native of Otofuke Town.
The "Swing Karan" that I mentioned briefly earlier is Tokachi's first "cylindrical ice-cooled server" that is a reproduction of the early Showa era, and is apparently a very rare server in which beer flows vigorously through a very long beer pipe. Because the beer flows vigorously through the 25m thick beer pipe, it is quite difficult to pour and an amateur would not be able to handle it properly. What's more, it is so rare that it can only be enjoyed at around 50 stores nationwide.
An unusual server and a pourer who knows how to use it well. The combination of these two elements is what makes the soft, smooth Sapporo Black Label draft beer so delicious at Takano Beer Stand.
The owner, Takano-san, has always loved beer, but for many years he worked in a profession far removed from beer. However, after experiencing illness, he decided to "do what he loves!" and opened the shop. He was taught how to pour beer by practicing from morning to night at a famous beer lover's shop in Hiroshima Prefecture called "Beer Stand Shigetomi."
The "Beer Stand Shigetomi" icon is somewhere in the store
When Takano pours a glass for you, you can feel his attention to detail in the temperature of the glass and the way he handles the beer. Each beer is delicious and has its own unique character, but when you watch Takano pouring the beer, each of his movements is beautiful and smart. Even things that are actually difficult look easy...
Super difficult! Try pouring beer with the "Swing Calan Server"
If you want to experience for yourself just how much of a beer pouring expert Takano is and deepen your knowledge of beer, we recommend you try the "Next Experience" for 900 yen! Instead of having a professional pour the beer for you, you pour the beer yourself using a "Swing Karan" server. The beer comes out with great force, making it surprisingly difficult to pour! If you try pouring at the right angle and timing, you'll understand just how amazing a professional is. It might take a little courage, but be sure to order the "One Pouring Experience"!
Takano has many more commitments to beer! He lets the beer sit for about two days to settle before serving it, and he uses a sponge and fragrance-free, color-free detergent specifically for beer glasses to make the glasses light and comfortable to drink from. He washes the glasses with water instead of hot water using a straight stream of water, and dries them without wiping them to keep them clean. His love for beer can be seen everywhere.
The logo is based on the shape of a swinging bell, which he created himself.
Although the familiar "Sapporo Black Label" is a beer, you will once again realize how delicious it is if you pay attention to how you drink and pour it. "Even Sapporo Black Label has its makers, its pourers, and its drinkers. That's why we want to improve the taste and serve it properly," says Takano. Contrary to the relaxed and gentle impression, please come and experience the love of beer that lies deep inside.
On sunny days, there are terrace seats where you can drink outside.
