At Umegaoka's "Neko no Shukaijo," six taps including Shiga Kogen KASUMI are on, and savory lamb stew is also being prepped
The craft beer and spice food spot "Neko no Shukaijo" in Umegaoka is open while prepping savory lamb stew. In a post, it introduced six draft beers including Shiga Kogen's KASUMI, and also noted cup takeout and three draft sizes.
Hop BroUmegaoka's Neko no Shukaijo is pretty interesting right now. They're simmering savory lamb stew while six taps line up inside.
MugiWhoa! Running the shop while cooking stew is the kind of place that attacks both your stomach and your throat at the same time!
Hop BroExactly, and today's star is Shiga Kogen's KASUMI / Hazy Session IPA. At 4.5% ABV, it's the kind you can drink lightly and smoothly.
MugiHazy but light? What is that! Cloudy yet easy to drink? The looks and the personality are totally different, aren't they?
Hop BroThat's what's interesting about it. A Hazy Session IPA can be juicy in aroma, but the body is kept light so you can keep coming back for more. Perfect for a hot day.
MugiI see~! So with Lagna's West Coast Pilsner and Seki's West Coast IPA on the board too, you can totally have fun depending on your mood!
Hop BroExactly. And there's also Pirono Helles and Cascara's Dunkel, so the range goes from a bright lager to a darker beer with coffee cherry. It's a lineup that's fun to compare.
MugiWait, with coffee cherry? Really!? This is like a beer-world independent study project; my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, the shop offers drafts in three sizes and supports cup takeout. The flow is friendly too: have one at the shop, then grab another for the way home.
MugiThat's the best! If both the spice food and beer are strong, I want to toast right now with the lamb stew and KASUMI!
A dish in prep and six taps
At the beer pub "Neko no Shukaijo" on a side street in Umegaoka, they were open that day while also prepping their signature savory lamb stew. The atmosphere is calm, making it easy to drop in alone or to spend time drinking slowly with a few friends. In a post, they introduced six draft beers as the day's tap list. They also offer cup takeout, and the drafts can be ordered in three sizes.
That day's lineup
- Lagna / CRAFTROCK - West Coast Pilsner
- Pirono Helles / Pirono - Helles
- Cascara / Flora Farmentation - Dunkel w/Coffee Cherry
- KASUMI / Shiga Kogen - Hazy Session IPA
- Super Fresh / WCB x Inkhorn collaboration - Hazy DIPA
- Seki / OHLOY - West Coast IPA
The new tap highlight was KASUMI from Shiga Kogen. Although hazy, it has an alcohol content of 4.5%, and it is presented as the kind of beer that drinks lightly and smoothly on a hot day. The overall lineup also spans everything from West Coast styles to Helles and darker-ale-leaning beers, making it easy to compare side by side.
On the food side, a dish like the spice-forward savory lamb stew takes center stage. The shop is clearly built around pairing with beer, and another feature is that canned and bottled beers can be enjoyed in-house and also purchased to go. It is the kind of place that suits a day in Umegaoka when you want to enjoy both beer and a meal centered around it.
