Niseko Taproom was born in 2016 when two friends with a passion for great beer teamed up to create a cosy and welcoming taproom in the heart of Grand Hirafu to allow people to try the ever growing range of quality beers being brewed here on the island of Hokkaido.
​
Combining wonderful craft beer with quality home made mountain food in a sociable & friendly environment has been the core of what makes the Niseko Taproom what it is today.
​
The bars layout with an open kitchen mean from big groups to solo travellers our visitors inevitably end up chatting to our team or each other, about the days powder, beer or their other mountainous adventures.
​
Whatever your story we look forward to welcoming you to the Niseko Taproom.
