Highbury HOME announces free somen event with Black Label and SORRY beers
Highbury’s HOME location in Shinjuku Gyoen announced its summer free somen event. The group’s Yokohama CAVE is known for careful pouring and beer handling, and the concept fits its beer-first, playful style.
Hop BroToday it's all about Free Somen Night at Highbury group's HOME in Shinjuku Gyoen. I love that they're seriously pairing beer with somen.
MugiWhat! Beer and somen sounds like the champion of summer meals! The fact that it's an actual event makes it goofy and powerful at the same time!
Hop BroAnd the group comes from Highbury -The Cave of Beer- in Sakuragicho, Yokohama, a pub known for careful Kuro Label pours from a dedicated tap and for cask-conditioned ales.
MugiHold on, cask-conditioned ale is what exactly? It sounds like a spell, and somehow harder than somen broth!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a softer ale that finishes naturally in the cask. It's less fizzy, and when the pour and temperature are dialed in, the flavor gets much rounder.
MugiWhoa! So this isn't just a joke event, they're serious about beer condition control too. Even the somen must feel nervous!
Hop BroThat seriousness shows when the first pint is Sapporo Draft Kuro Label, basically the clean lager slot. It clears the throat, then opens the door to the playful stuff.
MugiStarting with Kuro Label before the chaos is way too smart! But what are these SORRY beers besides apologizing in the name?
Hop BroThey follow with Yoho Brewing's "Konomi Nante Kiitenai ze SORRY" and "Zenryaku Konomi Nante Kiitenai ze SORRY Session Yuzu Ale - Ara Shio Jitate -." The layers of aroma from coriander, orange peel, yuzu, and salt land perfectly on somen's light body.
MugiWhat is that! It's basically beer as condiments! I want them lined up beside somen like myoga and shiso!
Hop BroExactly. HOME's loose event energy and CAVE's careful serving quality combine into peak Highbury style. Same group, different kind of fun.
MugiI'm done for, I want Kuro Label and yuzu ale with somen right now! Hop bro, if there's a seat, let's go tonight!
Highbury -The Cave of Beer- is a beer pub in Sakuragicho, Yokohama. It is known for serving Sapporo Black Label through a dedicated server and for its focus on cask-conditioned beer and temperature control.
The original post points to a free somen event at Highbury’s HOME location in Shinjuku Gyoen. As the name suggests, it is a light-hearted summer event built around noodles and beer.
Related coverage of the same event shows a lineup that starts with Sapporo Black Label, followed by Yo-Ho Brewing’s "Konomi nante Kiitenai ze SORRY," and then "Zenryaku Konomi nante Kiitenai ze SORRY Session Yuzu Ale ~Arajio Jitate~." The citrus, citrus peel, yuzu, and salt notes make sense alongside chilled somen.
What stands out is that Highbury keeps the fun intact without neglecting quality. The CAVE’s carefully poured Black Label and HOME’s event-driven atmosphere show two different sides of the same beer pub identity.
