Himalaya table posts its Aug. 26 tap list with eight Japanese craft beers
Himalaya table, a beer pub in Uchikanda, Tokyo, shared its tap list for Wednesday, August 26. The lineup features eight Japanese craft beers from Oni Densetsu, Hop Kotan, Minoh Beer, Ushitora, ogna, and Mojiko Retro Beer, alongside Nepali food.
Hop BroKanda's Himalaya table is the talk today, and the headline is an eight-tap lineup. Oni Densetsu, Hoppokotan, and Minoh Beer are all on deck, which is dangerously good for an after-work stop.
MugiWhat! Nepalese food and beer together? Having momos with an IPA sounds way too powerful as an excuse to wander in.
Hop BroAnd the range is strong. Oni Densetsu's NEW Kumaoni IPA, Ushitora's Hop Sniper IPA, Minoh Beer's Summer Lager, and Mojiko Retro Beer's Weizen make it a great tasting spread.
MugiHold on, what even is a Marzen beer in Hoppokotan's AKIRA Bayashi? It sounds like a festival float just rolled into the menu.
Hop BroMarzen is basically a malt-forward lager with toasty depth and a fuller body. Instead of shouting over the food, it supports spicy dishes like a very reliable sidekick.
MugiOh wow! Then Minoh Beer's black tea bitter sounds super food-friendly too. The name sounds like teatime, but it's secretly beer.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The black tea bitter plays nicely with food, while Oni Densetsu's Kinki Pale Ale Superdelic Single Ver lets you chase the shape of the hops more clearly.
MugiWhat is that! Superdelic Single Ver. sounds like a finishing move. Chasing the shape of hops means I'm investigating with my nose, right?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. A single-hop beer puts one hop variety in the spotlight, so aroma differences stand out in a really easy-to-read way.
MugiSo I start with Summer Lager or the Weizen, then dive into the IPAs later and that's the perfect route unlocked? My stomach has already clocked in.
Hop BroAnd ogna's Komagatake Ale rounds it out, so it's not just bright easy drinkers but calmer pours too. This August 26 tap list is seriously tight, and now I want a pint myself.
MugiThat's it, I'm done pretending to be calm. Picking tonight's first pour in Kanda with Nepalese food on the table sounds like a plan I want immediately.
Himalaya table in Uchikanda, Tokyo, posted its Aug. 26 lineup on Instagram. The second-floor beer pub is known for pairing craft beer with Nepali dishes, making it an easy place to stop in for one drink or settle in for a longer meal.
Eight draft beers were listed for the day: Oni Densetsu "NEW Kumaoni IPA," Hop Kotan "AKIRA Bayashi" (Märzen), Minoh Beer "Summer Lager," Oni Densetsu "Kinnoni Pale Ale 'Superdelic Single Ver.,'" Ushitora "Hop Sniper IPA," Minoh Beer "Black Tea Bitter," ogna "Komagatake Ale," and Mojiko Retro Beer "Weizen." The mix covers lager, Märzen, IPA, pale ale, bitter, ale, and weizen, giving drinkers plenty of room to compare styles.
If you're after hop-forward beers, Oni Densetsu and Ushitora stand out. If you want something lighter, the Summer Lager and Weizen are straightforward picks. For beer that sits more comfortably with food, the Märzen and Black Tea Bitter look especially worth a look.
