Overview
EXBAR TOKYO plus AKIHABARA, a craft beer and game bar operated by Taito Corporation in the Akihabara Station concourse, launches two original craft beers themed around the world of FINAL FANTASY XIV starting Friday, July 31, 2026.
Highlights
The two beers are "Guiding Light," inspired by the Mothercrystal, and "Forest Healer," inspired by Gridania. The store offers 20 self-service beer taps so guests can pour as much as they like.
On the same day, a roughly 160cm "Aetheryte" monument modeled after the teleportation devices players use in-game will be installed at the storefront of the adjoining FINAL FANTASY XIV GOODS SHOP AKIHABARA, aiming to become a new landmark along the Akihabara concourse. A campaign also runs offering a postcard to customers who purchase 3,000 yen or more of FFXIV merchandise (one per person per day, while supplies last).
Two More Beers From October 28
From Wednesday, October 28, 2026, two new beers join the lineup: "Sand Mirage Scent" (砂の幻香), a spice ale (IBU 25, 5% ABV) inspired by Ul'dah, and "Sea Capital Surf" (海都の潮騒), a red IPA (IBU 61, 6.5% ABV) inspired by Limsa Lominsa, for a total of four original craft beers. An SWT card featuring FFXIV artwork is also coming soon (issued free on charge; timing to be announced).
Customers who buy 3,000 yen or more of FFXIV merchandise, or charge 3,000 yen or more to an SWT card for food and drinks, receive a postcard (one per day, while supplies last). Posting an in-store photo on social media earns a sticker (once per person).
