Hop BroNEIGHBOR in Nogata has just updated 8 taps. From Yuzu Weiss to Taiyo Lager, this lineup has a really wide drinking range.
MugiWait, Yuzu Weiss? That sounds so good already. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s from Yokohama Bay Brewing, and it layers yuzu aroma over the soft wheat character you’d expect from a Fruit Weizen. It seems like a good first beer if you want to start light.
MugiFruit Weizen sounds like some kind of spell, but basically it means a fruit wheat beer, right?
Hop BroExactly. And on top of that, you get the gentle sweetness and frothy head that are typical of a Weizen. Next up, Taiyo Lager from Miyazaki Hideji Beer should have the crisp, clean drinking quality of a German Pilsner.
MugiOh, nice! I love something crisp. But why are German Pilsners so clean and refreshing?
Hop BroPut simply, they keep the malt sweetness while tidying up the hop bitterness. NEIGHBOR has lined up eight beers that pair well with food, and it’s strong that they cover everything from Dunkel and Schwarz Weizen to Session IPA.
MugiDunkel, Schwarz... they already sound intense! But Session IPA is the kind you can drink a lot of, right?
Hop BroExactly. Beers like Gangi Brewing’s WILY FOX and ZESTER, or CRAFTROCK’s Jam Session 2, are appealing because you can keep drinking them easily. And now they’ve also added Oyamadori Chicken Nuggets, with that crunchy cartilage bite that’s kind of dangerous in the best way.
MugiThe beer lineup and the food are both too strong! Now I want to do a tasting in Nogata and toast with the nuggets and lager!
The beer pub NEIGHBOR in Nogata, Nakano Ward, Tokyo, has released its latest tap list. This time, the lineup consists of eight beers. It ranges from a light fruit wheat beer to lager, dark styles, and session IPA, making it easy to keep drinking alongside a meal.
The standout is Yokohama Bay Brewing’s Yuzu Weiss. It combines the approachable character of a Fruit Weizen with the nuance of yuzu, making it seem like a good choice for a first pint. Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s Taiyo Lager should offer the crisp, clean drinking character typical of a German Pilsner. Also on tap are Gangi Brewing’s WILY FOX (Dunkel) and ZESTER (Session IPA), O’Hara’s Brewery’s Irish Red, FLORA FERMENTATION’s Waldschrat (Schwarz Weizen), Cycad Brewing’s Riedlei3 (Amber IPA), and CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Jam Session 2 (Fruit Session IPA), giving drinkers plenty of options depending on their mood.
On the food side, a new item called Oyamadori Chicken Nuggets has been added. They are said to have a pleasantly crunchy texture thanks to the cartilage, and should pair well as a beer snack. Other options include white potato salad, charcoal-grilled greater amberjack, tuna carpaccio, jerk chicken rice, and firefly squid with fresh onion aglio e olio, giving drinkers a solid lineup of bar snacks. There is also a burger menu, making it a good choice for days when you want a more substantial meal.
NEIGHBOR is a Nogata spot built around craft beer and grilled dishes. It feels like the kind of place where you can enjoy side-by-side tastings in-house while pairing them with food. This tap update is aimed at beer fans who want to sample a wide range of styles, from light to toasty.
