Tarumoa Updates Its 5/15 Tap List: Guinness, Shiga Kogen IPA, and Anniversary Beer Too
Irish pub Tarumoa in Tomigaya, Shibuya Ward, has released its May 15 tap list. In addition to Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, and Yebisu, the lineup includes a nitro Irish red, an anniversary beer, and even a canned hazy IPA.
Hop BroTarumoa's May 15 update in Tomigaya, Shibuya Ward is pretty bold. Once Guinness, Shiga Kogen IPA, and Yebisu are lined up together, you can already see the blueprint for a tasting flight.
MugiWait! You can drink Guinness and Shiga Kogen IPA on the same day? So it's the heavy dark stuff and a hop explosion together? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroExactly. And the nice thing is that the foundation is dark, IPA, and lager. Guinness brings roasted notes, Shiga Kogen IPA brings hop aroma, and Yebisu gives you a crisp finish to balance it all out.
MugiBy roasted notes, do you mean that coffee-like toastiness? Beer that tastes like coffee is kind of strange!
Hop BroYeah. When the malt is well-roasted, you get a toasty aftertaste. Tarumoa opens at 4:00 p.m. and closes at 11:00 p.m. that day, so it's a good place to take your time and enjoy a drink after work.
MugiWhat is that, amazing! And they even have Irish Red -Nitro-? Nitro sounds like some secret weapon, so exciting!
Hop BroIt sounds like a secret weapon, but what it really does is pour with nitrogen to create fine, creamy foam. It's smoother on the palate than carbonation, and the red malt sweetness spreads in a really pleasant way.
MugiWow! But the one I'm most curious about is the Tarumoa 21st anniversary beer. Anniversary beers feel extra special!
Hop BroThat's the More Bitter Houjicha ver.. It blends English-style bitter with hojicha, and the malt sweetness and toastiness are layered with tea notes. It's a pretty serious pint.
MugiWait, tea in beer!? I wonder if the aroma of hojicha really works. Just thinking about it makes me want some snacks!
Hop BroIt does work, actually. And since they also have Shine Hazy IPA in cans, the fruity crowd is covered too. I'd want to snack on fish and chips at Tarumoa while making my way through dark, IPA, bitter, and hazy in order.
MugiIt's decided! If I can do a tasting comparison in the Yoyogi Park area, I want to go to Tarumoa today!
Hop BroLet's go, let's go. Start with Guinness, melt into the nitro, and groan in admiration over the anniversary beer. And at the end, it's still a lineup that makes room for one more.
May 15 Tap List
At the Irish pub Tarumoa, near Yoyogi Park Station in Tomigaya, Shibuya Ward, the draft and canned beer lineup for May 15 has been announced. On this day, the bar opens at 4:00 p.m. and closes at 11:00 p.m., with drink last orders at 10:30 p.m. and food last orders at 10:00 p.m. It is a convenient schedule for everything from an after-work drink to an early dinner.
There are three regular beers, starting with the standard Guinness. Alongside it are Shiga Kogen Beer IPA and Yebisu. With a dark beer, an IPA, and a lager-like option, the core lineup makes the tasting range easy to see, and the foundation feels very much like Tarumoa.
As something a little different, Irish Red -Nitro- (Ikari Brewing) has been added. This is a beer that suggests a fine, creamy mouthfeel thanks to nitrogen gas, and it should offer a drinking experience distinct from the three regular selections.
In the guest slot, Tarumoa's 21st anniversary beer, "More Bitter Houjicha ver. / TULLAMORE 21st ANNIV. BEER THE MORE BITTER by RIOT BEER," is on tap. It is an English-style bitter blended with hojicha, and true to its name, the design clearly aims for malt character and toasted aroma. In addition, canned beer includes "Burnish Beer Shine Hazy IPA / BURNISH BEER SHINE HAZY IPA," giving drinkers a fruity hazy IPA option as well.
Tarumoa is known as an easygoing beer pub in the Yoyogi Park area. From standard draft beers to anniversary releases and the latest canned arrivals, the highlight this time is the chance to follow a wide range of styles all in one place. Paired with food such as fish and chips, it is the kind of lineup that invites you to work your way through dark, IPA, bitter, and hazy beers in sequence.
