Kameido’s GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS adds Okazaki Beer’s 'Kahosha IPA' and natbrew’s 'JUNTO THE HOTO 蜜煙奈落'
On July 14, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido announced two new taps: Okazaki Beer’s 'Kahosha IPA' and natbrew’s 'JUNTO THE HOTO 蜜煙奈落'. The beer pub pairs them with its signature fish and chips and a broader draft lineup that also includes real ale.
Hop BroKameido's GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS is looking strong today. On July 14 they tapped two fresh beers, and both sound built for fish dishes.
MugiWait, two fresh taps in one go? That already sounds like a party. What showed up?
Hop BroFirst is Okazaki Beer's Kahomono IPA. It's still an IPA, but the bitterness and aroma don't over-flex, so it plays nicely with food.
MugiOhh, a balanced IPA! So the hops aren't trying to body-slam my tongue? That sounds perfect with fish and chips!
Hop BroExactly. The other one is natbrew's JUNTO THE HOTO Mitsuen Naraku, and it spent time aging in a Saburomaru cask, so it's the slow-sipping type.
MugiWhat is that, a Saburomaru cask? That phrase just walked in wearing a suit. What does cask-aging do?
Hop BroWith cask-aging, you pick up wood-driven aroma and extra depth. In Mugi terms, it's like plain ice cream suddenly becoming a fancy parfait.
MugiNo way, and this place is famous for herb-battered fish and chips, right? Add fancy-parfait beer to that and my mouth's schedule is packed.
Hop BroThat's the charm. The pub runs five taps plus real ale, and you can order pints or halves, so you can match your beer to the food.
MugiHold on, what is real ale then? The more you talk, the more I want to do a full tap check in Kameido.
Hop BroNatural soft carbonation is the idea. It's a British-style ale with gentler fizz, great with food, and honestly now I want that first pint too.
MugiThen it's settled: Kahomono to Mitsuen Naraku with fish and chips on the side. I fully want that Kameido run right now!
New taps
On July 14, GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido highlighted two new beers: Kahosha IPA from Okazaki Beer and JUNTO THE HOTO 蜜煙奈落 from natbrew. The note attached to Kahosha IPA describes it as well balanced, suggesting a hop-forward IPA that should be easy to approach with food. JUNTO THE HOTO 蜜煙奈落, meanwhile, is listed as having been matured in a barrel from Saburomaru, which points to a deeper, more layered profile.
A fish-and-chips beer pub
