    If you like Yebisu it's worth a visit. They have a walk through museum which takes about 10 minutes if you read everything, a spot to drink their brews and shop if you want to buy glasses and knick knacks. The tasting salon will let you try any of their variants on draft for 400 yen, but the food selection is limited due to just opening recently. They have a 30 min limit for prevention measures...so drink quickly! Overall recommend a visit if you're a fan of the brand.

    Museum is small, but stylish. The entrance is free, unless you want a guided tour. The tour has a time schedule, so you can call and book it in advance or just buy it on the spot :) There's a small cafe/bar with a very reasonable prices, where you can try the beer, have some snacks or try the season beer-coctails. If you are a fan of Ebisu beer, you might also find smth for yourself at the souvenir stand.

    (Translated by Google) The Yebisu Beer Memorial in Tokyo is located on the basement floor and is free to watch. The history of Ebisu beer produced every year is clearly displayed, and you can pay for it and sample beer. (Original) 도쿄의 에비스(Yebisu) 맥주 기념관은 지하층에 있으며 무료관람입니다. 연도별로 생산된 에비스 맥주의 역사가 일목요연하게 전시되어 있으며 비용을 내고 맥주를 시음할 수 있습니다.

    Wonderful Museum & Great tasting beer! The display area of this museum is actually quite small, but very interesting. Not only can you do tours and tasting sessions but you can sample every single beer and they even have food. I love the history of how the Japanese went to Germany and convinced their top brewmaster to come to Japan to make the greatest tasting beer. The beer is so creamy and it is soooooo delicious

    So good. The tour is all in Japanese but still very worthwhile experience if you don't understand Japanese. Drinking beer is international with no language barriers. 😂 The tour guides are excellent. The place is so cool with big fermentation barrels. It is only 500 yen for the tour but you also get three full beer samples. I could not finish them all. 🤣 There is a nice restaurant where you can get a beer and food. Of course there is a gift shop as well. The area is nice with a few other shops and attractions. Great way to spend a couple hours.

    The museum is small but covers the history of the brewery, the beer and the actual town of Ebisu well. I missed a deal...if you wait for the tour you pay ¥500 for a tour and beer samples (2 I believe). If you go alone its ¥400 per beer...but it's likely bigger.

    (Translated by Google) Ebisu wants to drink in the tasting area, but no one comes even if he calls out at the entrance. After unavoidably disinfecting, when I tried to proceed to the ticket (coin) vending machine, the staff came in a hurry and told me to go back to the entrance and read the terms of use and disinfect. Even though I was waiting after calling out and disinfecting, I was awakened as if I had invaded without permission. You didn't see it, you didn't react, right? Despite being so noisy, some staff, including that staff, laughed at the regular customer table. Is this a cabaret club or something? As a measure against corona (I don't think there was a fault here in the first place), the double standard is also good for May. After drinking a drink, I immediately dismissed. After all, beer is half the taste. Half the atmosphere. Naturally it wasn't delicious because I was totally disgusted. (Original) テイスティングエリアでエビスが飲みたくて入るも、入口で声かけしても誰も来ず。仕方なく消毒の後、券(コイン)売機に進もうとすると、慌ててスタッフがやって来て、入口まで戻って利用条件を読んで消毒しろとのこと。 声かけして消毒して待っていたのに、勝手に侵入してきたかの言われ様に興醒め。見ていなかった、反応しなかったのはそちらでしょう? そこまで口うるさく言うくせに、そのスタッフを含めて幾名かのスタッフは、常連客テーブルに侍り談笑。 ここはキャバクラか何かなのかな? コロナ対策に(そもそもこちらに落ち度はなかったと思いますが)五月蝿く言う割にはダブルスタンダードもいいとこですね。 一杯飲んですぐ退散。 やはり、ビールは味半分。雰囲気半分。 すっかり嫌な思いをしたので当然美味しくありませんでした。

    (Translated by Google) It has a profound feeling inside the building and creates an atmosphere where you can taste beer. You can feel the history of Yebisu, but if you come to the image of a factory tour, it may be a little unsatisfactory. It's just a memorial hall. (Original) 建物内の重厚感よし、ビールを味わう雰囲気づくりよし。ヱビスの歴史は感じられるものの、工場見学をイメージして来てしまうとやや物足りなさが残るかも。あくまで記念館ですものね。

    Love this place! It’s not really a museum per se and more like a bar. The exhibitions was small but entertaining to read. You could finish that in 15 minutes. The highlight was the beer tasting. You purchase some coins to exchange for beer. Recommending the beer flight where you could taste three flavors. This cost 2 coins, at 400 yen each. Definitely worthy the price. The experience is worthwhile and refreshing!

    Worth a visit for beer lover!! The museum part is compact with a good history of Yebisu Beer. Unfortunately I visited quite last and missed the tour (last one was 17:10 if I recall correctly while the place closes at 19:00), I still had a great time enjoying the beer (5 different kinds in total - I ordered the tasting set with 3 mini-pint beers and 2 more regular pints) and the gallery myself. Recommended!

    (Translated by Google) Learn the history of beer. If you wish, you will be guided by a guide for a fee. It was good to find your favorite beer on the screen and drink it, and the "800 yen drink comparison set" was also good. In particular, "Hanamiyabi" was fruity and sweet, and I felt it was delicious as if it suits the mood of the day. How about some beers that can only be drunk here? The souvenir shop also has limited items, so you can't miss it. (Original) ビールの歴史を学べます。希望すれば有料でガイドさんの案内がつきます。 画面で自分好みのビールを見つけて飲むのもいいですし、『800円の飲み比べセット』も良かったです。特に「華みやび」がフルーティーで甘みがありその日の気分に合ったのか、美味しく感じました。こちらでしか飲めないビールもあるのでいかがでしょうか?お土産売り場も限定品があり見逃せません。

    Great place to learn about the great Yebisu beer sold across Japan. The tasting room is great and for about 400 yen you can order a small draft beer and for another 400-800 yen you can get snacks like cheeses and sausages.

  • 5/5 Lindsey P. 4 years ago on Google • 98 reviews
    A small museum. You can easily do the self guided version in 20 minutes or less. The guided tour looked really fun, but it is only in Japanese. There is a little beer hall where you can get coins for $4 a piece which you can exchange for beers as well as bar snacks. I recommend this as a fun little thing to do in the afternoon.

    (Translated by Google) After learning the history of Ebisu beer with one coin, you can enjoy delicious barrels of Ebisu beer and amber Ebisu. I like it and go there twice a year. In the past, there was a method of pouring three times and rock-paper-scissors betting the beer, but due to the new style due to the corona virus, the tour itself is now temporarily suspended and the tour itself is completely reserved. I hope that you will be able to tour as usual as soon as possible. (Original) ワンコインでエビスビールの歴史を学んだ上にエビスビールと琥珀エビスの美味しい樽生を頂けます。 お気に入りで年に2回は通っています。 以前は3度注ぎのやり方や、そのビールを賭けたじゃんけんなどがありましたが、コロナ禍による新様式のため、今は一時休止中でツアー自体も人数を絞って完全予約制になってます。 早く通常通りのツアーが出来るようになることを願ってやみません。

    (Translated by Google) Yebisu beer was a great deal for 400 yen! Due to the influence of Corona, I could only sit for 30 minutes ... I can't help but I wanted to have a little more fun. (Original) エビスビールが400円、お得でした! コロナの影響で席には30分しか座れず…仕方ないですが、もう少し楽しみたかったです。

    Recommend to everyone who liked to test some Yebisu Beer. The entrance fee is free. You just need to purchase a token [400yen] for one glass of beer. Some snack cost 1 or 2 tokens. The only downside is that they only give you 30 minutes to do the taste. English menu is available. Staff were amazingly friendly. The name Yebisu is based on the seven Lucky Gods named Ebisu.

Thank you, Mr. Nishikai for the explanation! ️ (Original) ヱビスビールの歴史にふれ、130年の歴史の重みを感じました‼️ コロナで短縮バージョンでしたが、とても良かったです。 説明いただきました西海さん ありがとうございました‼️

  • 4/5 lkern322 5 years ago on Google • 127 reviews
    With free entry to this beer museum and only a short walk from the station it's well worth a visit. Lockers are available for a small charge but they only have two larger lockers so probably don't bring your large suitcase. (100yen deposit for lockers) Unfortunately they only do tours in Japanese but all the information is in both Japanese and English. The tour includes tasting and costs 500yen pp. It would be great if they could cater for some english tasting sessions at least. When you have been around the small museum section you can sit down, relax and have a few beers. You need to buy 400yen tokens from a vending machine which is pretty standard in Japan. 🇯🇵 I ordered the tasting set which was 800yen for three different beers (Premium Yebisu, Kohaku Yebisu and Premium Black Yebisu) plus it comes with a small snack for while your tasting your beers. It's a pretty good place to come to try some new beers and interesting museum so if you have a spare hour or so it's worth a visit. Bring cash

    Having stayed at the Westin Tokyo, it was really easy to cross the street to get to this opulent and grand brewery. But it's easy to get to the brewery from the Ebisu Station as there are moving walkways from the station leading you to the square that Yebisu Beer occupies. The beer selection here is interesting and tasty. The interesting part of buying beers to taste is that you exchange yen for tokens in a machine, then you exchange those tokens for the various beers you're interesting in tasting. The tasting room BTW is relaxing and located in a fairly grand hall with high ceilings. All in all a nice experience.

    Interesting enough to visit. By paying admission fee 500yen, you can enjoy 3 kinds of beer. It will be better if we can get an English guidance as a foreigner.

    (Translated by Google) Well, other beer companies have free tastings, but I thought I wouldn't call it tasting by paying for it normally. (Original) うーん、他のビール会社なら無料で試飲とかあるんだけど、普通にお金払って試飲って試飲とは言わないと思いました

  • 5/5 Sierra L. 2 years ago on Google
    Interesting place for some beet tasting. When you reach the place, the museum is on B1, so facing the building walk to your left then you’ll see a sign and a stairway going to the entrance of the museum. We were actually expecting to see a more bigger place, but this one only shows the bottles and years when it came out. We didn’t do the tour so maybe that’s why we didn’t see much. We did some beer tasting as well, they will ask you to read/follow some protocols because of covid but everything was smoothly done. You also have to get tokens instead of paying in cash when you get your beers. Also, if it’s a busy day, guests may stay for 30 mins but we’re lucky to stay longer since we went early. We’ve visited Asahi and Sapporo Breweries so the Yebisu Museum was different that we expected but it’s a good place to visit for beer lovers.

  • 4/5 Mark T. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like draft beer, this is a great place to sample Yebisu on tap. You can undertake a tour (which is only in Japanese) and sample beer as part of the tour, or dive in and order direct from the bar. There is a sample paddle, or by the glass. Food is also available, but seating can be limited, so get there early. The beers are great; VERY TASTY!! Definitely worth a visit

That's fine, but I want you to post such important things on the homepage by the day before the holiday. I was disappointed when I thought that I was doing it on January 9, 2021. Moreover, if it's closed, you can turn off the lights in the hall, but it's on, so I think it's open! !! !! Double disappointed.

    (Translated by Google) The beer is also delicious, and among the snacks, the jerky is very delicious. However, the need to exchange money with Yebisu Coin is a little annoying. I don't know if it's just this because of Corona, but there is a 30-minute time limit. Too short... The museum is about 10 minutes if you simply look around. (Original) 맥주도 맛있고 안주 중 특히 육포가 굉장히 맛있다. 근데 에비스 코인으로 환전이 필요한 점이 좀 거슬린다. 코로나 때문에 지금만 이런 건진 모르겠지만, 30분 시간 제한이 있다. 너무 짧아... 박물관은 간단하게 둘러보기만 한다면 십 분 정도.
