NEIGHBOR in Nogata shares eight taps and street-side beer sales for festival weekend
NEIGHBOR, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano City, Tokyo, announced its latest service update on Instagram alongside the local festival weekend. The venue is selling craft beer and shumai at the storefront, while offering burgers and napolitan pasta inside, with an eight-beer tap list now posted.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up Nogata festival mode today. NEIGHBOR is doing takeaway craft beer and shumai out front, plus burgers and nostalgic Napolitan inside.
MugiWhat! Beer and shumai is such a winning combo. You can snack outside at the festival and then keep the party going inside?
Hop BroAnd NEIGHBOR also posted an eight-keg tap list. The range is huge, from Pilsner all the way to West Coast IPA.
MugiWhoa! But when I hear tap list, I just picture eight shiny faucets lined up in a row!
Hop BroThat is half right, actually. It basically means the beers on tap. On this list, NUDE BEER's SANSAN is a Pilsner, and NOMCRAFT BREWING's Moon Calender is a West Coast IPA.
MugiNo way, that moon-calendar name already makes me want it. An IPA with a title like that sounds unfairly cool!
Hop BroThen you've got Atsumi Hanto Jozo's KOIWAIWAI as a Sour Ale and Kyoto Brewing's Naimitsu Waon as a Belgian Dubbel. It's a lineup that runs from tart to rich without breaking a sweat.
MugiHold on, Belgian Dubbel sounds like a special attack move. What does that even taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it has a dark-bread richness with sweet aroma and a little spice. Meanwhile, a Hazy IPA like FLORA FERMENTATION's Ghoul leans cloudy and juicy.
MugiOkay, wow. A quick drink outside with shumai sounds perfect, but sitting down inside with a burger sounds just as dangerous. I can already see a detour to NEIGHBOR happening.
Hop BroExactly. You could mess around with HINOBREWING's Heisei Banana, a Fruit Weizen, then finish with B.M.B Brewery's The Giving Oak, a Wood-Aged Brown Porter. After walking the festival, one stop does everything.
MugiDecision made. We'll wander Nogata, toast at the pub, and then argue over shumai or Napolitan. At this point, I want a drink now is my whole personality.
Storefront sales and dine-in service
`NEIGHBOR`, a beer pub in Nogata, Nakano City, Tokyo, posted an Instagram update beginning with "Hello! NEIGHBOR here☺️" The venue said it is open from noon and is setting up storefront sales in time for the Nogata festival, serving craft beer and shumai to people stopping by for the event or a walk through the neighborhood.
Inside, guests can also order burgers, old-school napolitan pasta, Nogata shumai, fried chicken, a mushroom salad, and a prosciutto-and-arugula salad. The setup makes it easy to either grab a drink outside or settle in for a longer meal indoors. The post also notes dog-related visit rules and says bicycles cannot be parked directly in front of the shop.
