Novel Craft Announces Beef Tongue Curry and Seven New Taps
In a post on April 9, Novel Craft announced that it would serve beef tongue curry and other new dishes that pair well with beer starting at the 17:00 opening. The taps featured four imported beers and three house-brewed beers, making it easy to enjoy both a meal and a tasting session.
Hop BroToday Novel Craft's post is on fire. The beef tongue curry is back, and from the 17:00 opening they're setting things up so you can eat and drink well.
MugiWhoa, beef tongue curry!? Just hearing melt-in-your-mouth beef tongue makes me hungry, but does it go with beer!?
Hop BroOf course it does. It's well-spiced, and because it has the richness of a braise, it goes alongside the malt sweetness and hop bitterness without clashing.
MugiI see... but you just casually said hop bitterness, right? Is that different from spicy heat?
Hop BroDifferent, different. Bitterness is the contour of the aftertaste, while spiciness is stimulation on the tongue. So when the curry spices and beer bitterness sit side by side, it surprisingly comes together in a clean way.
MugiHuh! And the food lineup has plenty of snacks too. Firefly squid in oil, house-made chicken ham with cilantro, and suddenly it's like a stylish venue!
Hop BroExactly. They're not missing a beat as a beer pub. You can do both a full meal and light bites, so it works for people who want to eat big and people who want to keep sipping casually.
MugiAnd the taps are updated to seven kinds? How many options are they trying to give us! Four imported beers plus three house-brewed ones is seriously strong!
Hop BroThe point is that four imported and three house-brewed are all on tap at once. Imported picks like Dieu Du Ciel!! / Petite Morale are joined by Novel Craft Brewing / Fuzz, Looper, and Wah, so tasting and comparing them is fun.
MugiI can feel the seriousness of Minamikarasuyama... I want to snack on the beef tongue curry while working through the taps one by one!
Hop BroThat's the move. Eating and comparing beers on a day like this is the best thing ever. It's the kind of day that makes you want one more glass.
MugiYeah, I'm totally in that mood today! I want to toast at Novel Craft, and there's no way I'm skipping both the beef tongue curry and the new taps!
Beef Tongue Curry and Seven New Taps
In a post from Novel Craft (Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo), the bar announced that it would be serving "beef tongue curry" to coincide with its 17:00 opening. It is a dish that has not appeared for a while, and although it is a labor-intensive braised curry, the beef tongue has been cooked until tender and falling apart. The spices are firmly in place, making it an easy partner for beer.
The food lineup does not stop there. Beer-friendly snacks were also added, including firefly squid in oil, house-made chicken ham with cilantro, and a cumin marinade of new onions and ham. The selection works well for both people who want a full meal and those who want to keep drinking while nibbling, showing the practical appeal of a proper beer pub.
The tap list for the day was also updated, featuring `Dieu Du Ciel!! / Petite Morale`, `Baldys / Mish Mash`, `Vinohradsky / Vinohradska 11`, and `Mingel / Golden Dream`, along with `Novel Craft Brewing / Fuzz`, `Looper`, and `Wah`. Since four imported brewery beers and three house-brewed beers are on tap at the same time, it is easy to choose according to your preferences.
As a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, this is an operation notice centered on both food and beer. It is the kind of lineup suited to a day when you want to focus on a meal while also trying a few new taps.
