Hop BroAt Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka, a new Fujizakura Kogen Beer release was tapped on May 1. The star is Sakura Bock 2025, and that is a strong move for the eve of the holiday break.
MugiHuh! Sakura Bock 2025 sounds springlike, but what is a bock? It suddenly gives off a heavy vibe!
Hop BroGood catch. This is a Doppelbock, the kind that uses a lot more malt than a regular beer. And at 8.0% ABV, it is a beer meant to be savored slowly.
MugiWait, using that much malt makes that much of a difference? When they say about twice the usual amount, it already sounds super rich and intense...
Hop BroExactly. More malt tends to bring out sweetness and body. Then the bitterness and aroma are balanced against that, so it is not just heavy; what is interesting is how well it all comes together.
MugiWow! And the taps that day are ten different beers? If there are fruit-driven beers and even dark beer, tasting through them sounds fun!
Hop BroIt is a great lineup. There are aromatic beers like Minamichita Blood Orange IPA and Hassaku Ale, plus Mino Beer’s Stout and even Plank’s Pilzarl, so you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWhat is that, everything sounds interesting! But Pilzarl suddenly feels very German, and Aizu Shiozan Suppe sounds sour just from the name, haha!
Hop BroYour reaction is exactly right. With everything from tart gose to crisp pils-style beers on the list, today’s setup works for both a light, easy pint and a deeper tasting session.
MugiAnd the food is strong too! Beer consommé with fresh onions? That is the kind of thing that just pulls you toward the beer. And if fries are there too, there is no stopping!
Hop BroExactly. A small, counter-centered place like this is great because you can take your time enjoying pairings like that. It is three minutes on foot from the south exit of Mitaka Station, and if you can drink while watching the kegs rotate, I would want to go right now too.
MugiIt is settled then! A drink before the long holiday is going to be amazing. I want to line up in front of the tap today too, so let’s go drink together, Hop-nii!
On Friday, May 1, from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi, a three-minute walk from the south exit of Mitaka Station, announced a new tap in time for the eve of the long holiday weekend. The star this time is Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s Sakura Bock 2025 from Yamanashi. As a Doppelbock, it is introduced as a beer made with about twice the malt of a regular beer and brought up to 8.0% ABV. The description says it balances sweetness, bitterness, and aroma, making it clear this is a beer to take your time with.
The tap list for the day includes 10 beers. On offer are Y.Market Brewing’s Minamichita Blood Orange IPA, Mino Beer’s Stout, KIX BEER’s Hassaku Ale, Ushitora’s Ushitora Mandarina IPA, the German Plank brewery’s Pilzarl, St. Gallen’s Shonan Gold, Yokohama Beer’s Pale Ale and Alt, and Minami Aizu Mountain Brewing’s Aizu Shiozan Suppe. With fruit-scented IPAs and ales, a stout that highlights malt depth, crisp pils-style beer, and a tart gose, the lineup offers plenty of room for side-by-side tasting.
On the food side, a seasonal spring onion item has been added: beer consommé simmered with fresh onions and served with beer bread. The potato salad also uses plenty of fresh onion, and there are toppings such as chilled tofu with plenty of condiments and sliced onion. Beer-bar staples like fries, chili beans, hearty meat and fish dishes, and penne are also available, making the menu easy to pair with beer.
