Hop BroThere’s a pour at And Beer Koenji I want to talk about today: a fruit beer with Yamanashi plums called "sumomomo."
MugiWhat! Plums in beer? The name sumomomo is so cute I’d order it before hearing anything else!
Hop BroThe best part is it’s not just cute. It has a great balance of flavor with aroma, acidity, and sweetness, so it works really well as a first drink.
MugiOh wow! But what does good as a first glass actually mean? Does that really change how it drinks?
Hop BroIt’s about the first impression in your mouth. That bright acidic attack wakes up your palate, so it leads naturally into food without feeling heavy.
MugiAttack? What is that, is the beer tackling me now? That sounded way too technical all of a sudden!
Hop BroNo tackling involved. It just means the first sip feeling. The plum tartness pops first, then a gentle sweetness follows behind it.
MugiOkay, now I want it. And with oyster biryani and pork vindaloo on the menu, the food lineup is dangerous in the best way.
Hop BroAnd they’re making it easy: on July 30 they’re open straight from 11:30 to 22:00, takeout runs 10:00 to 22:00, and Uber Eats is available too.
MugiDogs and cats can even hang on the terrace? Perfect. I’m officially ready for a sumomomo toast and probably some fries too.
