Kitazawa Konishi Announces New Arrivals: Cans from Kaigan Brewery, Yellow Monkey Brewing, and pirono Beer Line Up
The beer pub Kitazawa Konishi in Daizawa, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, announced new arrivals on Instagram. Inside the shop's refrigerator, cans and bottles from Kaigan Brewery, Yellow Monkey Brewing, and pirono Beer are lined up, hinting at a selection that can be enjoyed on the spot in kaku-uchi style.
Hop BroI saw that Kitazawa Konishi in Shimokitazawa's Daizawa announced new arrivals, and the fridge looks seriously hot.
MugiWait, what do you mean the fridge looks hot!? I thought the beer was already boiling!
Hop BroDon't worry, there's no steam coming out. This time they've lined up Kaigan Brewery cans, and you can spot SHOJO, HANAKAGO POINT, and OGAMA.
MugiWhat is that, those kanji names are way too cool! And SHOJO and OGAMA sound like they suddenly brought a ton of Japanese flair!
Hop BroWhat makes it even more interesting is that they also have Yellow Monkey Brewing's TORI AEZU Freestyle IPA and DANDYISM IPA.
MugiWait, Freestyle IPA sounds way too free!? IPA makes me think of bitterness, but what does freestyle mean, like anything goes?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, IPA is a style where you enjoy hop aroma and bitterness, and Freestyle feels like an IPA unconstrained by a set format. Even the name has a playful vibe.
MugiWow! And they even have pirono Beer's SAISON and Kurokko, so just looking at the lineup feels like a tasting session is about to start!
Hop BroExactly. Saison originally comes from farmhouse seasonal beer, and its dry finish is part of the appeal. Add the black character of Kurokko, and the lineup feels much more grounded.
MugiAnd it's a kaku-uchi style place where you can drink it on the spot, right? The urge to open it immediately after buying is totally unstoppable!
Hop BroThat's right. More than flashy presentation, Kitazawa Konishi feels like a place that carefully stocks the labels it wants people to drink now, and this is the kind of fridge that makes you want to have a drink right in front of it.
MugiYeah, the sound of quiet side-by-side tastings is amazing too, and today I might just head straight to Shimokitazawa...!
