Hop BroMitaka's Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi has Shinkan no Pale Ale on tap today. On August 8 it's open from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., which feels like a proper laid-back weekend start.
MugiWait, the pub name already has me hooked! It's 3 minutes from Mitaka South Exit, and there's a fresh keg too?
Hop BroExactly. The headliner is Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Shinkan no Pale Ale. It's an American pale ale built with plenty of Cascade hops, so citrus aroma is the main event.
MugiWhoa! But hang on, what are Cascade hops? That sounds more like a waterfall tour than a beer ingredient!
Hop BroFair question. Cascade is a hop that often gives grapefruit and mandarin-like notes, so you get big citrus aroma without the beer turning brutal. Since it's a pale ale, the bitterness stays approachable.
MugiThat sounds dangerously easy to drink! And the limited food is octopus with tomato salsa? That's basically summer winning the championship!
Hop BroYep, marinated octopus, fresh tomato salsa, and basil. That's a plate built for beer, and with that citrusy pale ale the pairing should really snap.
MugiAnd there are 10 taps lined up, right? HardCider, Sansho White, LIGHTLINE SaisonIPA... even the names are making my fridge panic!
Hop BroPlus Azarashi Pilsner Okawari, Yuyu Gteki, Enmusubi Bakushu Stout, and Orochi Midori 2026 Shichikanba ver., so it's basically a tasting paradise. They also do takeout in plastic cups, which is quietly excellent.
MugiI'm done for, I want a toast right now. Start me with Shinkan no Pale Ale and the octopus dish, then let Mitaka handle the rest of the night!
