Hop BroAt Craft Beer Market in Toranomon, they’ve brought in a spring menu switch and new taps!
MugiWhoa, that’s interesting! What are the two newly tapped beers?
Hop BroThe stars this time are Swan Lake Beer’s Koshino Kome Koshihikari Lager and Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA.
MugiJust the names already sound delicious! A two-beer lineup with a lager and an IPA means it works even if people have different tastes!
Hop BroExactly. The Koshihikari Lager has a rice-derived lightness, and it’s the kind of beer with that so-called dry, crisp finish.
MugiWhat does that mean? When you say a dry, crisp finish, do you mean it’s highly carbonated?
Hop BroNot just the carbonation. It’s more that the aftertaste disappears cleanly. Since it doesn’t linger heavily, it’s the kind of beer that pairs well with food.
MugiI see! So what about the Osaru IPA? When I hear hop-forward, I get excited!
Hop BroOsaru IPA has a great aroma, and if you drink it first after work, the satisfaction of that first glass is really something.
MugiI’m going to start with the lager and then move on to the IPA with the spring dishes. Tonight’s officially a Toranomon beer comparison!
In the latest post from Craft Beer Market Toranomon, the shop announced that its recommended food menu has switched to spring items starting today, along with two new beers on tap. From a tap list perspective, this update is appealing because it lets you enjoy both the seasonal feel of the food and a wider range of drinking styles at the same time.
The two new beers are below.
- Koshino Kome Koshihikari Lager (Swan Lake Beer)
- Osaru IPA (Minoh Beer)
As the name suggests, Koshino Kome Koshihikari Lager is a lager with rice-derived nuances expected, making it an easy choice for moments when you want something light and crisp. Osaru IPA, on the other hand, is a reliably popular style for people who want to fully enjoy hop character, and it has presence as a first beer after work as well. Offering both a lager and an IPA in the same update makes this lineup practical, since it is easy to choose even when preferences differ among the people at the table.
The Toranomon location is the first Craft Beer Market store, and it is known for a lineup that is approachable even for craft beer beginners. It is located on the first floor of the S.A. Grace Building at 1-23-3 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, within walking distance of Toranomon Station, and its location makes it easy to use both for lunch and dinner on weekdays. Now that the tap list has been updated at the same time as the switch to spring dishes, this is a good opportunity to try food and beer pairings.
