Himalaya table taps eight beers including Nara Brewing and Baeren on May 26
The beer pub Himalaya table in Tokyo's Uchi-Kanda unveiled its lineup for Tuesday, May 26. The selection brings together domestic craft beers with distinct personalities, including Nara Brewing, Baeren Brewery, Minoh Beer, and Ushitora Brewery.
Hop BroThe Tokyo Uchi-Kanda beer pub Himalaya table's eight-beer tap lineup for May 26 looks really interesting. From domestic brewery staples to more distinctive picks, it's a lineup that makes you want to drink and compare while pairing with food.
MugiWait, there are eight kinds on tap!? Just looking at the menu, I'd probably get a little lost!
Hop BroThe first thing to note is Nara Brewing's two contrasting beers. The IPA "LOCOMOTION" has crisp hop definition, while the sour "STUDY IN ROUGE" changes the mood completely with its tartness.
MugiWhat do you mean by hop definition!? Flavor definition sounds like the beer was drawn with a pencil, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroSimply put, it means the aroma and bitterness stand out without getting muddy. In other words, "LOCOMOTION" is an IPA with pronounced hop aroma, the kind where you take a sip and think, "Ah, here comes the hop."
MugiI see! Then I'm curious about Baeren Brewery's lager comparison too! Are "Colonia" and "Maibock" really that different even though they're from the same brewery?
Hop BroThey are. The light Colonia goes down smoothly as a lager, while Maibock has a malty richness and a bit more "dimension." It's the kind of lineup where you refresh your throat with one beer, then enjoy the lingering finish of the other.
MugiWow, just hearing malt richness makes my stomach growl! And Minoh Beer's "Nice Bitter" too - I love how kind it sounds just from the name!
Hop BroExactly. "Nice Bitter" is a beer to gently enjoy for its soft, steady bitterness. And Ushitora Brewery's "Favorite IPA" and Onidensetsu Beer's "Konki Pale Ale 'Mosaic Single Ver.'" are for people who want to really savor hop aroma.
MugiMosaic Single Ver. sounds like it suddenly turned into a research lab! It feels like a one-hop showdown, which is exciting, and having Swan Lake Beer's "Amber Swan Ale" in the mix is reassuring too!
Hop BroHimalaya table is also appealing because it's easy to pair with food in Kanda, and this lineup is solidly stocked with everything from light to rich. It's perfect for a day when you don't just power through beer alone, but enjoy it while pacing yourself with the food.
MugiI love that you can choose based on your mood that day! Light today, fuller tomorrow - it makes you want to keep coming back, and now I just want to head to Kanda and toast right away!
