Enjoy noodles and beer together in Umegaoka

Craft beer and spice food spot "Neko no Shūkai-jo" Umegaoka reported on Instagram that its "katsuo-dashi chicken pho" has been well received. In the posted images, pho topped with chicken, cilantro, and green onions is served with a frothy golden beer, clearly expressing the restaurant's identity as a place where you can enjoy a meal and beer at the same time.

The shop is a beer pub located at 1F, Earth Umegaoka No. 2, 1-22-12 Umegaoka, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Built around craft beer and spice food, it is an easy place to stop by casually around the Umegaoka area. In this post as well, the noodle dish takes center stage, while the beer placed beside it creates a composition that naturally connects appetite.

The specific beer name was not mentioned in the post, but it is easy to imagine a pairing that complements the food. An aromatic beer could enhance the refreshing quality of the cilantro, while a lighter pour would not get in the way of the broth's gentle umami. For beer lovers, this is the kind of place that makes it appealing to enjoy drinking and eating without separating the two.

As its name suggests, Neko no Shūkai-jo also has a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere. It is the kind of place to keep in mind when you want to enjoy craft beer in Umegaoka alongside spice-forward dishes or noodle bowls with a strong dashi flavor.
