A Spring Guest Beer to Enjoy in Nishi-Shinjuku

The beer pub "MOONRISE KINGDOM" in Tokyo's Nishi-Shinjuku shared its opening-day business information for Thursday, March 26 on Instagram. In the post, it introduced Nara brewing's "DAYLONG~GERMAN PILSNER~" as a guest beer. This pilsner uses traditional German noble hops, Hallertau Hersbrucker and Merkur, and is characterized by floral aromas, meadow-like aromatics, and a crisp, easy-drinking finish.

The shop is a beer pub with 3 domestic draft taps and 30 bottles of overseas craft beer. With tap options on hand and a wide bottled selection as well, it is a good spot for anyone who wants to compare different styles.

The food suggestions are clear as well. The post highlighted fresh seafood ceviche, karasumi lemon pasta, MOONRISE quesadilla, carnitas tacos, and MOONRISE burrito. In particular, the burrito was introduced as a dish that combines fresh shrimp, plenty of salsa, vegetables, and beans with the house special sweet chili sauce, making it clear that the menu is designed to go with beer. Spicy, peppery dishes should pair especially well with a German pilsner like DAYLONG.

As for store information, lunch is from 12:00 to 14:30, and dinner is from 17:30 to 23:00 (last order 22:00). Phone reservations and takeout are also available. With cherry blossom season making Nishi-Shinjuku Central Park enjoyable for hanami, this is a place to keep in mind on days when you want to pair a light pilsner with food.
