Craftbeer&cafe Kura Kura, 3 New Kegs Tapped on 5/17
The beer pub “Craftbeer&cafe Kura Kura” in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, has announced its new tap openings for 5/17. The lineup brings together three distinct beers: BEER BASE’s BLOND, Shiga Kogen Beer’s FRESH HOP Grisette, and T.Y. Harbor’s Amber Ale.
Hop BroA new tap opening for 5/17 just landed at Craftbeer&cafe Kura Kura in Honkomagome! Today I want to talk about these three taps.
MugiWhoa! Kura Kura gives off such a calm vibe, but three very different beers sounds really interesting!
Hop BroThe lineup is BLOND from BEER BASE, FRESH HOP Grisette from Shiga Kogen Beer, and Amber Ale from T.Y. Harbor, so it’s a three-part set of bright, hoppy, and malty.
MugiWhat is that! What exactly is a grisette? The name already has final-boss energy!
Hop BroSimply put, a grisette is part of the saison family, light and dry enough to drink easily, and since this one is FRESH HOP, the point is that it carries that freshly picked hop character.
MugiOhhh! Then starting with BLOND to warm up your palate, and moving to the grisette sounds like a great tasting route!
Hop BroThat flow is perfect. Finish with the Amber Ale to pick up the malt depth, and the dimensionality of the flavors comes together beautifully.
MugiWhoa, suddenly you sound like a pro! But earlier with all that talk about “dry” and “depth,” your beer-worker vocabulary is way too advanced for me!
Hop BroTo put it simply, dry means a clean finish, and depth means solid richness. With three styles together, you can design your drinking plan from the first glass.
MugiAnd it’s near Rikugien, with the shidare-zakura light-up starting on the 18th, so the idea of a stroll followed by a beer is just too perfect...!
Hop BroTake in the spring air, then tour three domestic breweries at Kura Kura. That’s basically a seasonal drinking experience right there.
MugiIt’s decided! Tonight I’m in the mood to conquer all the taps, from BLOND to Amber, so let’s raise a glass!
In Craftbeer&cafe Kura Kura’s latest post, three guest beers were introduced as the new taps for 5/17. The lineup is as follows.
- BLOND (BEER BASE)
- FRESH HOP Grisette (Shiga Kogen Beer)
- Amber Ale (T.Y. Harbor)
A blonde that goes down easily, a grisette with hop-driven character, and an amber ale that lets you enjoy rich malt depth: three beers with different directions are on tap at once. It is a tap update that makes it easy to build a plan, from your first drink to a tasting comparison.
The shop is a street-level venue in Honkomagome 6-chome, near Rikugien. In the calm neighborhood setting, it is a location where you can take your time with each glass in true beer-pub style. The post also mentions the Shidare-zakura light-up at Rikugien starting on the 18th, making it easy to imagine stopping by as part of a stroll through the area. It is a chance to enjoy the seasonal atmosphere while taking in a wide range of expressions from domestic breweries all at once.
