MugiWhat, 14 taps!? With that many, I’d be so excited I might collapse before even deciding!
Hop BroThe star is Fukushimaji Beer’s American IPA, a style that really brings out hop aroma and bitterness. As the name suggests, IPA’s appeal is that it has a strong aromatic presence and a satisfying drinkability.
MugiHop aroma isn’t just the bitter stuff? Now you’re saying all these complicated things!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Hops add not only bitterness but also citrusy aromas and grassy notes. American IPA tends to foreground those characteristics, so it’s an easy-to-understand beer for enjoying aroma.
MugiI see, so it’s not just bitter, the aroma is the star too! In that case, I feel like I can go, “Whoa!” too!
Hop BroAnd what makes Gambrinus especially strong is the homemade food by Japanese cuisine chef Icchi. An IPA with a clear profile becomes much easier to keep drinking when paired with dishes that have a solid flavor backbone.
MugiWhoa, IPA with Japanese food is okay!? My snack imagination is opening up all at once!
Hop BroIt absolutely works. With a savory dish like simmered fish, or something a little toasty, the bitterness and aroma of American IPA can act as a great bridge.
MugiAnd it’s completely non-smoking, no cover charge, and even has Free Wi-Fi, so it’s easy to drop by casually! Sounds perfect for after work or weekend bar hopping!
Hop BroSince it’s open from 5 p.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m. on Saturdays, it’s perfect for a drink near the station. This definitely makes me want to start my evening slowly at Gambrinus with Fukushimaji Beer’s American IPA in hand.
MugiYeah, yeah, I can’t shake this I want to drink tonight feeling! If there are 14 taps and Japanese food too, I want to wander around and find the best glass!
