Ginza Lion Beer Hall
- Ginza 7 Chome location
This is the oldest beer hall in Japan that is still around, with most of the interior furnishings the same as from when it was first built in 1934. They use the "one-shot pour" style for their beer, where they rotate the beer within the glass as they pour to release excess carbon dioxide gas. This traps any off-flavors in the bubbles, thereby curbing bitterness and producing a refreshingly smooth finish.
