With a bilingual local guide you'll sip a riverside pint straight from a takeaway window, tuck into charcoal yakitori at a neighbourhood institution, then climb to the second floor of a flagship craft-beer taproom for a final toast above the water. Expect crowds during peak bloom, but also once-in-a-year magic: falling petals in your glass and soft pink reflections dancing on the canal. --- ### ◆ Highlights * **Three riverside venues, all within 300 m:** 1. **SIDEWALK STAND** – craft-beer window on the promenade 2. **Torikoya (Honten)** – classic yakitori counter steps from the river 3. **BAIRD Nakameguro Taproom** – 25 taps & upstairs cherry-view bar * Guided craft-beer pour · charcoal skewers with sake · three-beer flight & New Haven-style pizza slice * **Cherry-blossom photography** at the famous red-lantern bridge (weekdays 17 : 30 start avoids the heaviest crowds) * Group capped at six so everyone gets rail-side space --- ### ◆ What's included | Stop | Drinks | Food | | -- | -- | -- | | SIDEWALK STAND | 1 pint of seasonal Japanese craft ale | Small baked snack | | Torikoya (Honten) | Lemon-sour or draft beer | Five-skewer set (tsukune, negima, bacon-mochi…) | | BAIRD Taproom | 3 × 120 ml house ales (flight) | Shared New Haven pizza slice | | Time | Experience | | -- | -- | | 17 : 30 – 18 : 15 | SIDEWALK STAND – toast the canal as petals drift by (queues move slowly; guide orders ahead) | | 18 : 20 – 19 : 30 | Torikoya Honten – binchō-tan grill; sake pairing and friendly banter at the counter | | 19 : 30 – 21 : 00 | BAIRD Taproom – 2F river-view bar (90-min limit during hanami); three-beer flight & pizza | *If heavy rain makes the promenade unusable, we start indoors at **ØL by Oslo Brewing Co.** (just behind the river) and shift timing accordingly.
