About this place
Near Nakano-sakaue Station, inside Acros City Nakano-sakaue, Rodai pairs a carefully chosen craft-beer and wine selection with music. The taps feature a range of brews, from Beer Buddy Pale Ale and Shonan IPA Columbus to Hyugamatsu Lager Citrus, with its citrus notes, and North Island Coriander Black. There are also familiar choices such as Heartland, alongside distinctive bottled beers including Tama Bottle Condition and Ruina IPA, offering plenty to explore across different styles.
Wine is another strength, with a selection focused on American bottles such as California’s Laurel Glen Zinfandel and Dejavu Cabernet Sauvignon, and Boom Boom! Syrah from Washington State. The menu also includes snacks to enjoy with a drink, including smoked cheese and jerky, for an unpretentious evening out.
Jazz and blues give the room a relaxed soundtrack, and live performances take place on some days. It is also an easy place to drop in alone and settle at the counter. On weekdays, daytime opening offers a café-like option: take a breather over a cup of Lodi Blend coffee.
