At the Odaiba venue, there is a large lineup of German beers, including "Ayinger Brauweise", which landed for the first time in Japan, and "Wertenburger Pils" (starting at 1,000 yen each), which will debut this year. In addition, there are plenty of food menus such as the hearty "Kartoffel Special Set" (2,800 yen) with sausages and the venue-limited "Ankake Yakisoba with Seafood" (1,200 yen).
