Maltheads - Sapporo-Shi, Chuo-Ku

We had some trouble finding the place at first, but once we located the building, we went downstairs and found Maltheads. They have a limited selection of draft beers, but a great variety of craft beers in bottles. We discovered some Japanese beer that we hadn't seen elsewhere, as well as a good selection of imported and domestic whiskey. We were intrigued to see someone ordering a green beer and found out that the matcha beer is their house special. Definitely worth trying if you're at Maltheads. We also have to mention the Sicilian red beer, which was the first tomato beer we actually enjoyed. If we had known what we were ordering, we may not have gone with the tomato beer, but this one was surprisingly nice. Although there is no English menu, it's sometimes fun to get lost in new places. The atmosphere is cool and the place is definitely worth a visit if you're in Sapporo.
