Arima Brewery — Restaurant in Kobe

Kampai to the best spot you can spend time in while waiting for your return bus back to Osaka from Arima.

The brewery is a small shop located right across from the bus station and let's you sample a few of the local drafts. We went with a few beer flights (each containing three different ales) and a cocktail during our visit and it was nice!

Four CBs are on tap, including three by Arima Brewery - Japan Ale (awarded World Beer Cup Gold in 2016), Black Ale, and White Ale. Rokko Brewery contributes the Brown Ale.

Conveniently located seconds away from the highway bus terminal and bustling shops. Casual and comfortable seating is available. The staff is efficient, although their warmth may be affected...
