VERTERE Taproom

Before embarking on a hiking adventure in Okutama, a hidden hiking paradise in Tokyo, I stumbled upon this gem of a beer house across from JR Okutama Station 🍺 The tree branch decorations and retro light signs were incredibly charming. Sitting on the terrace on a sunny day, watching the autumn leaves while sipping beer would be so chill! Before me were vibrant red and yellow leaves, sunlight filtering through the treetops onto the wooden floor, and a mountain breeze causing leaves to flutter down. This scene was intoxicating even before I started eating. 🏠VERTERE Taptoom 📍212 Hikawa 198-0212, Okutama-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo (Opposite JR Okutama Station) 🕙11:00-19:00 (Until 20:00 on weekends) 💰Average price: ¥1500-2000 per person ✨Must-Try List: ｜No. 7 "Tenera" Fruit Beer🍇 This is a Session Hazy with a low alcohol content of only 4.0%. The first sip is bursting with tropical fruit aromas, and the taste is refreshing and smooth—perfect for a drink before a hike! ｜Spicy Secret Recipe Meat Sauce Hot Dog🌭️ The hot dog is generously portioned, with a slightly crispy bun filled with juicy sausage, topped with the restaurant's secret spicy meat sauce, cheese, onions, and jalapeños. One bite, and the meaty, savory, and spicy flavors blend perfectly—super satisfying! I wanted to lick my fingers clean after eating! The yellow wall is adorned with an adorable blackboard menu, hand-drawn illustrations, and numbered beers that make choosing difficult! I recommend asking the staff for recommendations; their craft beer has different flavors every day. Amidst this stunning autumn scenery, enjoying a spicy hot dog and an ice-cold craft beer, I savored a wonderful moment alone. Full of energy and satisfied! Alright, time to officially begin my Okutama hiking adventure, heading towards the mountains! 💪 Tips: Remember to choose an outdoor seat! Enjoying the sun, mountain views, and beer is the perfect way to experience Okutama 💯 #OkutamaHiking #TokyoOffTheBeatenPathFood #AutumnTips #StationFood #RomanticRestaurant
