Tokyo Swallows Beer

This being the Tsubamegun, that’s a noun in the title, although it could be a verb, too.

Our own Mr. Pellegrini got this gem from a friend and reviewed it over on Japan Eats.

Does anyone know if this is available anywhere besides Tokyo Station?

Not yet, but we'll be sure to get the word out if we find it anywhere else.

I called Kizakura Shuzo and asked them about the Swallows Beer.
The Swallows Beer was jointly-developed by Hasegawa Saketen and Kizakura Shuzo.
Hasegawa Saketen offered it to Kizakura, apparently Hasegawa Saketen is a big fan of Swallows.
Anyway, therefore, you can get this beer only at Hasegawa Saketen.
They have four stores but unfortunately they are all in Tokyo, Omote-sando Hills, Kameido, Azabu-Juban and Tokyo station Gransta, now Azabu-Juban store is under a refit though.

Dropped by the Omotesando Hills shop this afternoon and they appeared to be temporarily out. Hasegawa does some other interesting ones as well, though – they had a window display of their World Cup brew up.
