Craft Beer Market Tamachi

Craft Beer Market's Tamachi branch opened in September 2020 on the ground floor of the Daishin Building at Shiba 5-16-14, on Keio Nakamicho shopping street, and it's the closest CBM to Keio University. It's about four minutes from exit A8 of Mita Station on the Toei Asakusa and Mita lines, and five from the Mita exit of JR Tamachi.

Tamachi is the most food-forward of the chain's concepts. The theme is casual French bistro: house-made charcuterie, pâtés, terrines, raw seafood and charcoal-grilled meats that suit the broad range of Japanese and imported craft beers on the board. As at other branches the taps rotate often, so there's usually something new to pair with a terrine or a grilled steak.

Seating around 60, it's one of the more spacious CBM branches, and fully non-smoking. Groups of up to 22 can book a private room, and crowler fills are available to take away.

It opens for weekday lunch from 11.30am to 2pm, then for dinner from 5pm to 11pm, with food last orders at 10pm. Saturday hours are 3pm to 10pm, and it's closed on Sundays, public holidays and over New Year. Expect a ¥300 table charge in the evening. It suits Keio students and staff, the Tamachi office crowd, and anyone who wants a proper dinner with their beer rather than bar snacks.
