Bar FUKURO Taps Flora Fermentation's "Paris" and Hop Kotan's "AKIRA's Day Off"
The beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata, Tokyo, announced Flora Fermentation's "Paris" and Hop Kotan's "AKIRA's Day Off" as "New Tap Beer!!". In addition to temporary Golden Week hours, a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover is also scheduled for May 22 and 23.
Hop BroTokyo's Kamata Bar FUKURO has tapped two new beers. This time it's Flora Fermentation's 'Paris' and Hop Kotan's 'AKIRA's Day Off' - a very interesting lineup with two beers that have totally different personalities.
MugiWhat! Two new taps at once? That's an instant tasting showdown! The names alone already feel stylish, but what kind of beer is Paris?
Hop Bro'Paris' is a Hazy IPA with an ABV of 7.0%. It has hop-driven aromas like mango and coconut, and its appeal is a juicy, smooth mouthfeel. It's a rich beer that still stays easy to drink to the end, so it's very much a beer of the moment.
MugiWhoa! Hazy IPA means the cloudy kind, right? And mango and coconut? That's like a tropical fruit parfait in beer form!
Hop BroExactly, to put it simply, it's a hazy-style IPA. It wraps a strong hop aroma in a soft appearance and a smooth drinking feel. 'Paris' really nails that balance.
MugiSo is 'AKIRA's Day Off' the opposite kind of beer? Bohemian style Pilsner sounds suddenly so serious and cool!
Hop BroGood catch. 'AKIRA's Day Off' is all about malt depth, with rounded herbal hop character and bitterness, plus bread-, honey-, and biscuit-like toasty notes from decoction mashing.
MugiDecoction mashing? What is that! Bread and honey-like aromas already make me hungry. Can brewing really change things that much?
Hop BroIt can. It's a traditional method where part of the mash is boiled and returned, which really brings out the malt character. That's why 'AKIRA's Day Off' is the kind of beer you enjoy for its clean bitterness and grain flavor rather than flashy aroma.
MugiGot it, so today is all about aroma lovers vs. malt lovers! If you alternate them, it sounds like a two-person meeting starts in your mouth!
Hop BroAnd Bar FUKURO has also announced temporary Golden Week hours, plus a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover on May 22 and 23. If you're following the scene in Kamata, this is one place you won't want to lose track of.
MugiNow I really want to go! A nonstop rotation of taps is the best thing ever, and with Paris for something fluffy and AKIRA's Day Off for something mellow, it's the kind of place that makes you want to keep drinking until the next tap change!
Tokyo's Kamata Bar FUKURO announced new tap openings on Instagram. The beers introduced this time are Flora Fermentation's 'Paris' and Hop Kotan's 'AKIRA's Day Off'. Each comes in a different style, making for a lineup that's fun to compare side by side.
'Paris' is a Hazy IPA with an ABV of 7.0%. The post highlights hop-derived aromas of mango and coconut, along with a juicy, smooth drinking experience. While it has substantial presence, it still stays delicious all the way through, so the balance between rich aroma and mouthfeel seems to be the key point.
On the other hand, 'AKIRA's Day Off' is a Bohemian style Pilsner with an ABV of 5.0%. It is described as a beer that emphasizes the hop's rounded herbal character and bitterness, along with malt notes reminiscent of bread, honey, and biscuits brought out by decoction mashing. Rather than flashy aroma, it seems suited to those who want to enjoy malt depth and clean bitterness.
Bar FUKURO also announced its temporary Golden Week hours from May 3 to 6. In addition, a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover is scheduled for Friday, May 22 and Saturday, May 23, so the taps will keep changing. If you're following craft beer in Kamata, this is one place to keep an eye on.
