MugiWhoa! Five beer taps means five beers from actual faucets? That sounds like a beer hideout!
Hop BroExactly. There’s OrangeAle and Paleale from Tokyo, an IPA from Miyagi, Oktoberfest from Nara, and a Japanese Pilsner—a tour of Japan in one lineup.
MugiWhat is this! IPA and Paleale look like beer magic spells to a beginner like me!
Hop BroAn IPA highlights hop aroma and bitterness, while a Pale Ale is more balanced between malt and hops. Think of IPA as a hop-forward beer and Pale Ale as its easygoing friend.
MugiOoh! Starting with citrusy OrangeAle and moving to IPA sounds like an aroma adventure!
Hop BroGreat route. Oktoberfest should bring autumnal malt character, while Pilsner is crisp and can reset your palate. You can even plan the malt finish.
MugiDoes malt character mean that sweet, toasty grain flavor? My tongue just entered beer critic mode!
Hop BroThat’s it—think bread or biscuit-like notes from malt. It’s smoke-free and welcomes solo drinkers, including women visiting alone.
MugiHappy hour runs until 7 p.m. on weekdays, and they plan to show Fagiano Okayama matches too. I want to head to Nodayacho now and admire all five taps!
