Shonan Beer’s “Hazy IPA #07” Tapped at Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis
At the beer pub Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Naka-Meguro, Tokyo, Shonan Beer’s “Hazy IPA #07 ~ Nelson Sauvin ~” has appeared. The post also highlights the shop’s style of letting people casually enjoy food and craft beer while standing, alongside kuroge wagyu tartare.
Hop BroA guest tap from Shonan Beer has arrived at Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Naka-Meguro. This time it’s “Hazy IPA #07 ~ Nelson Sauvin ~,” and it’s definitely one for aroma lovers.
MugiWhoa! What even is Nelson Sauvin? That name already sounds powerful! It’s like a special move for hops!
Hop BroIt’s a hop from New Zealand. It tends to bring elegant white-wine-like notes and grapefruit-like aromas, and when you use it in a Hazy IPA, it turns really bright and fragrant.
MugiI see! But does Hazy IPA mean a cloudy beer? Is it okay to judge it by looks alone and assume it’s delicious?
Hop BroTo put it pretty loosely, yeah, that’s the general idea. Hazy IPA’s character is to soften the mouthfeel with wheat and oats, while bringing hop aroma to the front.
MugiGot it! And the article says it even has passion fruit nuances too, so it sounds like a fruit stand at this point!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It also has a gooseberry-like green note layered in, so it’s not just sweet. There are layers of aroma, and the white-wine-like elegance is what makes it so good.
MugiAnd the shop lets you enjoy food in a standing-bar style too!? Having restaurant-level food while drinking casually sounds incredibly luxurious!
Hop BroExactly. The post also introduced Kuroge Wagyu Tartare. With black truffle flavor and the juiciness of the Hazy IPA, it’s like a full traffic jam in your mouth.
MugiBefore Naka-Meguro’s cherry blossoms hit peak bloom, this feels like the kind of place you’d want to stop by for a drink on a walk. Flower viewing and beer together sound like instant happiness!
Hop BroYeah, this is the kind of thing you want to check before the taps fill up. If you enjoy a beer focused on aroma together with food, it’s the perfect treat for today.
