"Yona Yona BEER GARDEN" is a beer garden where you can enjoy the craft beer of Yo-Ho Brewing, which is famous for "Yona Yona Ale", in a draft (raw). This year, which is the third year, it opened at Ark Karajan Square in Ark Hills (Minato-ku, Tokyo).

Not only unique craft beers, but also limited beers that can only be drunk here this summer! I went to a popular beer garden on June 19th, the opening day.


The venue is a plaza in the terrace area on the 2nd floor of ARK Hills. It was raining on the 19th, but there is a roof on the square so you can enjoy it without worrying about getting wet. The total number of seats is 160. Of these, about 90 seats are reserved exclusively. When I arrived around 19:00 on Friday, the first day, about 90% of the seats on the day were already occupied and reservations were full.

Let's check this year's menu (the listed price includes tax). Both beer and food will be paid in cash at the counter.


First of all, drinks. This summer, including the "Garden Session" brewed for this beer garden, "Karuizawa Kogen Beer Seasonal 2015", the classic "Yona Yona Ale", "Tokyo Black", "Wednesday Cat", and "Indian Blue Demon" You can enjoy 6 kinds of draft beer (700 yen each).


In the garden session, the mouth is refreshing and sweet with citrus fruits, but the back mouth is refreshing due to the bitterness of hops. You can drink it with a gulp. Spicy sausages are recommended when combined with food. It sheds juicy fat refreshingly.


This beer garden is produced by the beer restaurant "Yona Yona BEER KITCHEN". Therefore, the food menu is full of menus that go well with beer, which is also popular in restaurants. The "roast chicken" (1,500 yen), which is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, is a must-try. Excellent compatibility with Yona Yona ale.


In addition, as a set menu for the beer garden, "Yona Yona set" (2,000 yen), which includes edamame, french fries, prosciutto, and sausage (2 bottles), roast chicken and 3 types of sausage, beef calvi, and roasted onion are set. A "meat plate" (3,000 yen) is also available. If you're wondering what to eat, try these for now.


In addition, "Tokyo Black Hayashi Rice" (900 yen) is also available as a new menu this year. The menu was devised by the staff of Yona Yona Beer Kitchen, and as the name suggests, it is simmered with Tokyo Black added. He said, "Tokyo black has a faint scent," but I couldn't tell with my tongue ... (sorry!). However, it was a delicious hayashi rice that was rich and rich but not too heavy.


Reservations can only be made for courses (3,000 yen) from 4 people or more. The course includes salad, edamame, french fries, prosciutto, and meat plate. The price of the course is table accounting, but there is no all-you-can-drink setting, so all drinks and additional food will be purchased at the counter. There is no time limit for seats, with or without reservations. Please refer to the secretary who is planning a drinking party!

It will be held until September 6th, and business hours will be from 17:00 (11:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays) to 22:00. The phone number is 03-3496-1988. Due to its location straddling Roppongi and Akasaka, many people come back from work, and it seems that it is more crowded on weekdays. Especially on Friday, there are many reservations at the moment. The day of the interview was also crowded by 22:00 when the store closed.

On June 23, "OMOHARA BEER FOREST by Yona Yona BEER KITCHEN " will open on the roof terrace of Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku. You can enjoy craft beer along with easy-to-eat foods such as the popular "burrito". This is also until September 6th.
