Hop BroAt Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo, a collaboration between Totopia × Vertere has been tapped. The name is 'Diffusiophilia,' and since it's a Hazy Double IPA at 8.5%, it's the kind of beer that comes in strong right from the start.
MugiWhoa, the name already sounds intense! Diffusiophilia kind of sounds like a spell, doesn't it?
Hop BroIt really does make you want to say it out loud. And 'hazy' means an IPA with a cloudy appearance, which lets the aroma stand out. Since it's a double IPA, it also comes with that solid drinking heft.
MugiCloudy and still delicious!? It feels like it's losing on looks, but is that where the appeal of hazy beers lies?
Hop BroExactly. Even if it looks hazy, inside the hop aroma spreads out softly, and this time what's interesting is that it's a collaboration by two Japanese breweries. Just imagining which personality came through from Totopia and Vertere is fun.
MugiThat's the kind of beer that makes you want to compare them! The fun of a collaboration beer is that it feels more like multiplication than addition, right?
Hop BroExactly. And Takadanobaba Beer Shokudo is open continuously from 12:00 to 24:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, so you can go after this one starting from noon. Food L.O. is 23:15 and drink L.O. is 23:30, so it's very easy to use.
MugiFrom noon!? That's basically a win already. The happiness of a daytime beer is just the best thing about a day off!
Hop BroBut it's closed on Mondays, so it's off on Monday, May 25. If you're going, the right move is to aim for a first pour on opening day on Sunday, May 24.
MugiThey say the sound carries inside the place, but that actually makes it feel casual in a good way. I love the feeling of having a beer while chatting; it feels so beer-pub-like!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Order 'Diffusiophilia' in Takadanobaba and take your time enjoying the aroma hidden beneath the haze.
MugiYeah, just reading about it makes my throat feel dry! The feeling of wanting to go drink right now is totally unstoppable!
