The beer garden "THE PERFECT Black Label BEER GARDEN 2015 TOKYO" where you can enjoy Sapporo Beer's draft beer "Black Label" is scheduled from May 1st to September 18th in front of Tokyo Sankei Building (Tokyo).・ Open in Otemachi). The beer garden, which was held for the first time last year and became a hot topic. At the end of April, when the summer days continue, I experienced it early!

The venue is directly connected to Otemachi Subway Station, less than 10 minutes on foot from Tokyo Station, in front of the Tokyo Sankei Building. The venue is divided into three areas. An outdoor terrace area, an indoor area with tables and desks, and an indoor area where you can sit on the sofa and enjoy yourself. Each has a beer counter and food can be purchased at the booth in the outdoor area.

First, go to the booth in the outdoor area to get beer. With the renewal this spring, we are offering a "Perfect Black Label" that has been refined to "raw taste". Since it is a beer garden developed by Sapporo Breweries, there is only one type of beer. In addition, wine (600 yen) and BaKALDI mojito (600 yen) are also available.

Next, check out the food menu that says "powered up" from last year. Last year there was only one food booth, but this year it is divided into three corners: "Hot Sandwich", "Hot & Fry" and "Delica & Kitchen".

There are 3 types of hot sandwiches in the hot sandwich corner on the left. With a high-tech machine that hasn't arrived in Japan yet, it takes about 1 minute to bake, which normally takes 4 to 5 minutes. You can get freshly baked in no time.

I was told, "It will take a while," but I came out without waiting at all.

I tasted "Chorizo Keema Curry" (1,000 yen). There is no reason why spicy chorizo doesn't go well with beer! In addition, "Ham Cheese Egg" (1,000 yen) and "Fried Shrimp Sandwich" (1,200 yen) using handmade fried shrimp are also available.

At the hot and fried corner in the middle, you can buy "secret: fried chicken" (600 yen, which is cheaper than last year!), "Spicy fried sweet shrimp" (600 yen), and other beer dishes. The perfect fried foods. Elaborate dishes such as "fried asparagus meat roll" (800 yen) and German food "Eisbein" (1,000 yen), which is a softly stewed pork, are also available.

I also got information on the "back menu" that is not listed on the menu at this time. "Sirloin steak" offered in a big size of 300g (10.58oz), "Bacon steak" in collaboration with a new commercial. Check it out if you want to eat meat! You can also buy vegetable salads and marinades at the Delica & Kitchen Corner. I'm worried that there wasn't any edamame that was there last year ... In addition, it seems that the menu will be replaced during the session.

Overall, I got the impression that the number of well-cooked menus has increased compared to last year. Especially meat dishes. It's a paper plate, but you might enjoy it like a restaurant.

By the way, the "adult elevator" is located in the center of the outdoor area. Of course you can enter (?). There is a counter inside, where you can eat and drink. You can enjoy the feeling of entering the world of commercials.
