Oriental Brewing in Kanazawa

Super friendly staff. They made a mistake, but it was so busy, and they were super nice about it. The beer selection and food is small, but there should be an option that will appeal to everyone.

Several own CBs are brewed and available. They have three locations in Kanazawa, one of which is temporarily closed. Proximity to the old town district is great. A little bit pricy.Update: stout with locally-produced burdock is great. Innovative spirit resumes as guests return!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. I dont drink beer so cant comment on that! Pizza was great.

Great place to stop to try their local craft beers, also excellent service from the barman Shingo, he had amazing English and could help us with our choices. Thank you!

Great place for a beer after strolling in the Higashi Chaya area. Didn’t try the food but the pizza looked decent. Hopefully they will have the Citra or Yuzu Ale. Both really good. Pardon my pictures. I got thirsty and took a pic half way through 😬

Awesome pizza & beer!! Plus the guy working there is super friendly & a serious hustler. He was doing everything himself both times I visited from rolling out dough to making the pizzas themselves, pouring pints, answering questions, manning the fryer, managing about 15 customers, etc. Such a great spot!

We were greeted by really friendly and knowledgeable staff. lovely and warm ambience, the beers (Winter Magic and Kaga Roasted Tea Stoutwere awesome:)

Homemade brewing beer taste good. Delicious together with deep fried chicken. Yummy. Cant resist. 👍👍👍

Great little venue to quench your thirst at. The session IPA and tea stout are superb craft beers amongst their impressive collection. Funny banter with the English speaking friendly bar staff. The only thing on the food menu I tried was deep fried lotus root as it was the only thing I hadnt tried elsewhere and it was exceptional. Masa recommended some excellent places for dinner too which turned out to be the best meal weve eaten in Kanazawa. Overall, an exceptional venue of you need to scratch that craft beer itch.

Nice place for local craft beer, they have a good selection and their own brew. Snacks are very good too, they are all freshly prepared. We had some fried gyoza, fried chicken and fries, they are all pretty decent.

We ordered a pint of single hop citra, a glass of non alcoholic sparkling wine and fried chicken. We thought that the drinks and snacks were alright, not much to rave about.

Amazing place for craft beer! Good selection and great service with such an amazing attention for detail to serve you the perfect pour of beer. Had the best stout until now at this place, the dark chestnut ale which is the highest ranking Japanese beer on untappd, guess I got lucky finding this place with this offer on tap. Their own kaga tea stout is pretty good as well.

Fantastic service - very friendly and welcoming staff and great beer. We wanted to try them all, so the server recommend that we get a flight (sampling of beers 1-5). They were all delcious! Such a little gem. Also, great music!

Great service, friendly, tasty food and beers. Fun little place to check out.

Good beer and better music (also appealing food, but we didnt try it). Almost like a european bar! We enjoyed very much!!!

With weary feet, waiting for the bus after walking around Higashiyama, we spied OBC across the street. Our eyes met and thats all we needed, we were across the street and in the door before we could say "Lets go."We tried a number of brews and their gyoza. The gyoza were very good, and the brews were also good. They were not medal- winners but they had charcter and taste. Its a nice place to stop and chill out.

About a 10 minute walk from where were staying. Home brew drinks are the best we have had so far in Japan. The fries where great and didnt need any sauce. The fried chicken with the lemon was perfect and the pizza is the best my wife and I had ever had. The server even gave us a free drink because it took a long time for the pizza to get done to his standards. 100% if you are passing through the area and are looking for a good place to stop. This is it.

Great brewery with decent in-house and guest beer selection on tap. Some jucy IPA and double IPA,an awarded Belgian ale and a couple of stouts. If you want to take a break from Japanese food, this is the place. Pizza and Japanese fried chicken are also yummy!

Great beer, top music, delicious pizza and definitely order the deep fried gyoza! Real deal - beer brewed on site ♥️

Good food and beer in a nice environment. Strongly recommend for a break while visiting this area of Kanazawa.

Really tasty beers and solid fries. My favorite beer was the yuzu ale.

Absolutely delicious food! The fried chicken, gyoza, and local Noto roasted pork were all so good. Nice vibe, good music, and friendly service. My boyfriend liked the in-house beers, and I had the hot plum wine which was perfect on a cold rainy day. Recommended!

Stumbled across this place by accident and had some fun great tasting, local craft brews; accompanied by some solid bar snacks. As a craft beer fan I really enjoyed what the Kanazawa craft brewing scene had to offer compared to the usual, more traditional Japanese beers. Stop by and enjoy!!

Friendly staffs. English speaking. Price is not cheap but worth for what you gonna get. This is a small tap room, they craft their own beers. Really decent stuffs. Good pizza also

Had Orientals White Peach and English Ale with a margarita pizza... Both beers are terrific.Pizza is solid, get one. Gotta say, after a couple of weeks in Japan (live in NYC), this really really hit the spot.Staff are great. I thought it was weird that they add head to a beer after pouring it perfectly, but that might be a local thing, I dont know. They clear the tap nozzles before every pour, which was totally unexpected.

Cant go wrong with pizza and beer. Both were very tasty. Pizza was very good and a great way to start off a night.Theres a second location closer to downtown as well. Beers is a bit pricey but that seems to be the norm for craft beer in Japan. I hope they add flight options soon.

Popped in for a beer here on a quiet afternoon and got a couple rounds! The Belgian-style yuzu fruit ale was DELICIOUS! Wish they had a happy hour, prices were a little steep (700-850 yen for a glassbut comparatively not the worst around.

Great place for some craft beer. Good selection of various kinds, from the award winning Belgian White with local Japanese citrus, through to the stout with roasted green tea. They have some great tasty snacks too - try the rather unusual combination of some gyoza with beer yeast fries!

The craft beer was great, brewed on site. The pizzas were delicious, much better than most you can get in Japan. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and spoke English. Food and drink menu was also in English.

Selection of 8 taps and 4 of them made right there - great! Service is good and kind, selection of five amazing pizzas hand made, and some small appetisers. 12 sears at tables and about 8 up at the bar to chat.

Great friendly staff serving great local beer and good food. The beers brewed onsite were great.

Small selection of quality beers brewed on-site. Dynamite pizza. It seemed a bit more expensive than a few craft beer spots we’ve been to in Japan, but the quality of beer and food can be justified and it’s still reasonable. It’s close to quaint Geisha district and the river so it’s nice to take a break here between exploring.

Fresh beer and tasty food provided with delicate service. A great place to chill out after a tiring touristic day.

Nice ambiance and great choice of music. The perfect place to relax after visiting Higashi-chaya-gai. I had their kaga roasted tea stout and my husband had Akazukin and the black IPA from rhe Kyoto brewery. We ate different side dishes and they were amazinly good.

Great brewery and bar, we came twice during our short stay in Kanazawa. The staff was very kind and welcoming as well. Thanks for having us!

Great little brewery located near the HIgashiyama Higashi Chaya district. Good range of their own craft brewed beers and some from other Japanese craft breweries. Friendly staff that also spoke english.

Amazing restaurant inside micro brewery. Try french fries (not on the picture :-)). Ice cream with sweet potatoes might seem as a weird combination but also very tasty.

Delicious pizzas, super friendly service and great variety of beers they brew here. Very glad we came here for lunch!

I cant give this place high enough praise... the best bar in Japan!!! Certainly the best pizza Ive ever had!! So tasty! Very relaxed and chilled out vibe. Great selection of craft beers as well as warding music. Lovely atmosphere if you feel like a chilled out pint. You HAVE to try their pizza because its SO good! They say their secret ingredient is love, and I believe its true. Amazing.

After living in Southern California for more than 20 years, I have come across many great American craft beers. America still have the best craft beers. I have high expectations and Yuzu Ale is one of my favorite. Great food as well. The staffs here are very friendly and excellent service. I come here on every trip I’ve taken to Kanazawa. Highly recommend.

Stumbled upon this awesome little brewery when walking through the city. They brew 3 of their own beers, and have a variety of other local options on tap as well. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting who loves craft beer (and they have some yummy looking pizza too!)

It is my belief that beer and pizza is the food and drink of Champions and Oriental Brewery truley do them them both justice! We didnt come to Japan for beer but we were so glad to stop off here for a relaxing afternoon of cold beer, excellent friendly service and great pizza. Thoroughly recommended.

Great little place. Nice atmosphere and chilled out music. Pizza is okay, but good by the usual Japanese pizza standards. Tried all three of their own beers that were on tap and enjoyed them all. An English menu is available.

I loved this place. After a very disappointing pizza elsewhere in Kanazawa I was very pleased to find Oriental Brewing. Their pizzas really hit the spot. Their beer selection is also very cool, with some self brewed beers made with local ingredients amongst other regional choices. Music choice was also superb. Highly recommended for dropping in.

Good craft beers and delicious hand made pizza. Not crazy high prices either compared to most of Japan.

What a wonderful find! Its New Years Day, nothing is open but this place... But, even if everything was open, it is still a gem.Friendly staff, craft beer (try their own-brewed!), chips, pickles, pizza.Its the perfect break. Go here and support these guys!

If youre in to craft beer, definitely go and check these guys out!They offer a great selection of Japanese brews on tap and a decent line-up of bottled imports, as well as a tasty pizza & bar snacks menu.With their own micro-brewery on site, theyre doing an awesome job helping to bring the Japanese craft beer scene into the 21st century!Great job guys!

A great selection of craft beer. A nice place to warm up with a drink on a cold winters day. They have a great pizza menu and offer flights of beer also so youll get to try all the beers they offer. English menu available and credit card accepted. Very friendly staff with a chill atmosphere.

They serve really good local beer and the beer yeast French fries were excellent

Fantastic staff to give good local recommendations. Beer is tasty and pizzas (sorry we skipped Japanese for just this one timeare really really good. Wish I could try their own beer they have brewing...
