Craft Beer Market Kichijoji Pennylane

Craft Beer Market Kichijoji Pennylane opened in the Kaihatsu Kosha Dai-2 Building on Kichijoji Honcho, on the short stretch of covered arcade that Kichijoji residents know as Pennylane. The address puts it in the busy commercial heart of Kichijoji — one of Tokyo's most consistently popular neighbourhoods, popular with young Tokyoites for its blend of independent shops, music venues, and Inokashira Park. The food concept here is gyoza and spice — a rotating selection of handmade dumplings alongside a menu of chilli-forward dishes that makes for excellent craft beer pairing. This is the same food concept shared with the Tokyo Torch and Sendai Ekimae branches, and it's arguably the most versatile beer food in the chain. The tap list follows the standard format: 30 rotating lines of Japanese craft and imported beer, updated daily online. Beer kegs are visible in the shopfront window alongside chalkboard menus — one of the more welcoming storefronts in the CBM network. Prices are flat at ¥690 glass, ¥880 pint, plus ¥300 table charge. Three-beer flights are available for ¥1,100. Kichijoji Pennylane is one of two CBM outlets in Kichijoji (the other being the Atre Kichijoji outlet inside the station mall), making this part of western Tokyo one of the best-served areas in Japan for the chain. **Opening Hours** Mon–Fri: Lunch 11:30am–2pm, Dinner 5pm–11pm Sat, Sun & public holidays: 11am–11pm
