The "Beer Hall Lion Tanukikoji" opened in Taisho era 3rd year (1914). The current Beer Hall Lion was created to enjoy beer born in Sapporo, where the first Japanese beer was brewed.

Baron Lion, the store's symbol, welcomes you on the store balcony. Inside the store, the atmosphere and space are full of Taisho-roman, the so-called "HAIKARA" taste, and interior design. The draft beer poured in the traditional "one-time pouring" style, is superb in the restaurant, where one can feel the age-old atmosphere where many people must have toasted each other over the years.

You enjoy a wide variety of beers and delicious food, with a focus on Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label and Sapporo Classic Draft Beer. Among them, Sapporo Lager Beer, with its distinctive red star logo based on the North Star, has been nicknamed "Akaboshi" (red star) and is still a popular standard product that has carried on the Polar Star motif since its initial release.
