Ark Hills Ale and BBQ Plate from Yona Yona Beer Garden in Ark Hills
Yona Yona Beer Garden will start again this year!

Yo-Ho Brewing is very popular for its unique craft beer. A beer garden where you can enjoy the company's beer has opened in Roppongi again this year.

YONA YONA BEERGARDEN in ARK Hills will be held for the 4th time this year. In an open space, you can drink popular beers such as "Yona Yona Ale" and "Wednesday Cat" in draft (raw), which is very popular every year.

Among them, "ARK Hills Ale" is by far the most ordered. After all, it's a limited beer that can only be drunk here this summer. The 2016 edition is a "session IPA" style, with a gorgeous and fruity hop aroma, and is said to be a refreshing beer that you can drink as many cups as you like.

What kind of taste will this year be? Throb.

Compared to Yona Yona Ale, the finish is quite bright. It has a slight orange tinge. When I drank it, it was very easy to drink. The first mouthfeel is a gorgeous citrus scent. The body has bitterness like IPA, but the back mouth is very clean and there is no bitterness left behind. Certainly, it is a taste that you can drink as many cups as you like.

Many people who come to the store order this for the first cup. Many Yachho fans are looking forward to it because it has a different taste every year.

By the way, as for the food menu, popular menus such as the signature dish "Roast Chicken" are prepared from Yahoo's beer bar "YONA YONA BEER WORKS".

The highlight is the "BBQ plate". Roast chicken, roast pork, 2 kinds of sausages, 2 seafood skewers, roast vegetable, and plenty of grill menu. Use 3 to 4 people as a guide.

In addition, new menus this year include nachos, which is eaten with avocado dip, and ice lollies for dessert. From appetizers to main dishes and simmered rice, we offer "more polished" dishes.

I visited around 18:00 on weekdays, but about one-third of the seats are already occupied. It was almost full before 20:00. It seems that the peak of entry is around 19:00 on weekdays. In addition, many people visit from early hours on holidays, and many hours are already being filled with reservations. If you are thinking of making a reservation, take early action!

In addition, beer tasting workshops will be held during the day on July 23rd and 24th, and August 27th and 28th. Especially in "Changing the glass changes the beer", you can experience the tasting with the glass of the prestigious glassware brand "Spiegelau" which has a history of more than 500 years in Germany, and you can take one glass home.


Both reservations and application for the workshop can be confirmed from the top of the Yona Yona Beer Works official website. Please note that reservations are only for course use (salad, appetizer, main set menu).
