Daruma

Some visitors have enjoyed Hoppy at Daruma served without ice—a tempting choice if you feel like trying it a little differently from the usual way. Beer is another highlight: one visitor mentioned being able to sample several of the beers recommended that day. The selection seems to vary, so ask what the bar recommends if something catches your eye.

An earlier visitor also wrote about enjoying oden. It is unclear whether it is available now or only at certain times, but the account suggests a relaxed visit built around beer, the day's recommendations and something to eat. Wine, cocktails and spirits are also listed. You could arrive with a drink in mind, or choose your first glass and see what takes your fancy next.

One solo visitor said that coming in for the first time felt a little daunting, but found the welcome straightforward and enjoyed a conversation. The bar is also described as suitable for drinking alone, making it an option for anyone who wants to enjoy a drink at their own pace in Kanamachi.
