Hop BroAt MOKICHI TRATTORIA in Chigasaki, they’ve started serving Sticky Fingaz Hazy IPA. And you can enjoy it both in the restaurant and as takeout, which is pretty great news.
MugiWait, you can get both dine-in service and takeout!? That already feels like a pretty indulgent set menu!
Hop BroAnd this one is part of Kumazawa Brewing’s Shonan Beer lineage. Hearing that it’s a special edition of a popular Hazy IPA makes the anticipation shoot up before you even drink it.
MugiOhh! I’ve often heard that Hazy IPA has gentler bitterness, but why is it so juicy?
Hop BroThe key is how the hops are used. It uses more hops than a regular IPA, while leaning into a soft mouthfeel, so instead of hitting hard, it tends to come across as more "smooth and juicy."
MugiThat sounds amazing! And just the name Riwaka hop makes it sound like it’s got tropical power!
Hop BroThat image is actually pretty accurate. With the New Zealand-grown Riwaka, they’re aiming for aromas like pink grapefruit and passion fruit. It’s the kind of beer that makes aroma the first thing you drink.
Mugi"Making aroma the first thing you drink" is a very beer-nerd invention! But hearing passion fruit aroma definitely gives it a tropical vacation vibe.
Hop BroMOKICHI TRATTORIA itself is interesting too, because it’s in a building relocated from a 450-year-old traditional house. In a space that blends with the nature of the back hill, pairing it with stone-oven pizza and house-made fresh pasta should make for a really happy time.
MugiWait, hazy IPA in an old house!? That’s so much information I’m hungry now! If you drink it with stone-oven pizza, I bet you’ll be smiling instantly.
Hop BroIt’s a beer that should appeal to both classic Shonan Beer fans and hazy IPA fans. So let’s wrap up with a flow that makes you want to go out tonight for a juicy pint.
MugiAgreed! I’m already in the mood to go out for a drink!
