Fukunori Merry in Roppongi taps Y.MARKET BREWING’s Green Tea Hazy IPA
Fukunori Merry highlighted a new nuka-zuke lamb harami dish on Instagram, alongside Y.MARKET BREWING’s Green Tea Hazy IPA (Tsukechi Cha Hazy IPA). The Roppongi basement beer pub continues to pair craft beer with lamb-focused, spice-driven food.
Hop BroI've got a dangerously tempting story tonight. At Kazenori Merry in Roppongi, Y.MARKET BREWING just tapped Tsukechi Tea Hazy IPA.
MugiWhat! Tea in an IPA? A green tea hazy already sounds like too much information for one sip!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. It's Green Tea Hazy IPA, brewed with fresh Tsukechi tea leaves, and the style is Hazy IPA with 7.5% ABV and 20 IBU.
MugiWhoa! But what does 20 IBU mean? It sounds like a spell from beer wizard school!
Hop BroBasically, it means a gentler bitterness setup. Hazy IPA usually has a cloudy, soft texture, and this one brings young-leaf aroma and a matcha-au-lait kind of sweetness.
MugiNo way! Then the new nukazuke lamb harami saute has to be ridiculously good with it, right?
Hop BroExactly. The lamb fat, tea-leaf bitterness, and fermented edge come together in a fermentation-forward pairing that really feels like this pub's style.
MugiAnd they also have bacon olive curry, pork belly komatsuna curry, and even striped hokke curry? That's way too much range for one basement pub!
Hop BroThe more we talk, the more I'm in a ready for a pint mood. It's in a Roppongi basement and takes reservations by Instagram DM, so it's almost unfairly easy.
MugiI'm done for, I need this now. Just imagining lamb and tea IPA together is making both my stomach and throat riot, so let's go drink!
Fukunori Merry, a beer pub in a basement in Roppongi, highlighted a new pickled-meat dish on Instagram: lamb harami sautéed as part of its nuka-zuke series. The dish is presented as a match for warm sake, including Tamazakura Junmai Kimoto Yamadanishiki, which fits the venue’s fermented, spice-driven cooking style.
The guest beer is Y.MARKET BREWING’s Green Tea Hazy IPA (Tsukechi Cha Hazy IPA). According to the brewery, it is a 7.5% ABV, 20 IBU Hazy IPA brewed with Tsukechi tea leaves, bringing young-leaf aromatics, soft sweetness reminiscent of matcha au lait, and a gentle tea bitterness. That makes it a natural fit for lamb, spice, and fermented dishes.
The same post also lists the day’s curries: bacon and olive curry, pork belly and komatsuna curry, and striped hokke curry. With roughly 10 to 12 craft beer taps and an easygoing basement setting, Fukunori Merry works both as a dinner stop and a beer-first pub. Reservations are accepted via Instagram DM.
