Masuda san of Masuizumi sake brewery guided us through the Iwase area of Toyama City. We stopped by the cool craft beer @kobobrewpub for a flight of brews and meats. Czech brewer Jiri Kotvnek is creating a vast portfolio of award-winning brews. The menu features sausages, cured meats, pate, and cheeses. Kobo is a great spot to take a break from sightseeing in the historic district on Toyama Bay.

The brew pub is an amazing space in a vast hall. The tanks are in the middle of the restaurant. There is a gorgeous long table cut from one tree for a communal table. Here you see Masuda san posing in front of a sketch of him with Jiri and their other partner (I believe from Slovakia but I can not find his name).

I love this neighborhood in Toyama city. It can be easily reached by the light rail from Toyama Station.
