Hop BroToday's topic is the beer pub in Mukojima, Evolve Beer&Kitchen, right? When Novoru Brewing's "Evoru" and Minoh Beer's "Boss Zaru IPA" are on the menu here, the urge to compare them shoots way up.
MugiWait, you can compare IPAs? And Mukojima in Tokyo has this kind of stylish-city vibe!
Hop BroExactly, and it's near Tokyo Skytree Station, with a calm interior and the warmth of wood. Even though it's right by Skytree, it's a great place to settle in and drink.
MugiWhoa, so what kind of beer is "Evoru"? The name already has me curious, but what is a West Coast IPA anyway?
Hop BroGood question. It has a clear, crisp drinking character layered with aromas reminiscent of citrus, pine, berries, and tropical fruit, and although it's nicely bitter, the finish is clean.
MugiWait, pine, berries, and tropical fruit? That's way too much information! It's like a hop aroma bomb!
Hop BroThat's exactly the fun of it. Evoru is for people who want to really taste the contours of the hops, while "Boss Zaru IPA" is good at balancing drinkability and presence.
MugiSo "Boss Zaru IPA" sounds strong from the name, but is actually gentle? That gap is huge, and I'm also curious about the part where it's easy to pair with food!
Hop BroThat's right. It has the approachable feel you'd expect from Minoh Beer, and it can carry you from the first drink through the middle of the session. Plus, it goes especially well with classic snacks like chicken wings, so the bitterness and aroma feel even more three-dimensional.
MugiWow, just imagining it is making me hungry! Tonight I want to do an IPA showdown at Evolve Beer&Kitchen, and go all in on the snacks too!
Hop BroThat's settled then. The lineup is so good it makes you think, I can't wait for the next pint, and honestly I want to head straight to Mukojima right now.
MugiThen I'm fully on board too! This article has totally left me with the feeling of I want to toast right now!
Featured lineup
Evolve Beer&Kitchen (Mukojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo) is a beer pub that carries a wide range of craft beers from Japan and abroad. In this post, Novoru Brewing's "Evoru" and Minoh Beer's "Boss Zaru IPA" appear.
"Evoru" is the kind of beer that combines the clear, crisp character typical of a West Coast IPA with aromas reminiscent of citrus, pine, berries, and tropical fruit. It has a solid bitterness, but the finish is relatively clean, making it a good fit for people who want to enjoy the outline of the hops.
On the other hand, "Boss Zaru IPA" is an IPA that balances Minoh Beer's signature drinkability with a strong hop presence. It pairs easily with food and is a beer that works well from the first pint through the middle of the session. Its appeal is that it is easy to enjoy on its own or alongside flavorful dishes.
Evolve Beer&Kitchen sits in a corner of Mukojima, not far from Tokyo Skytree Station, and its calm atmosphere with the warmth of wood is another hallmark. The tap list changes regularly, so every visit can bring a different beer to discover. When a lineup like this brings together IPAs with distinct personalities, comparing the direction of the aromas and how the bitterness comes through makes the experience even more enjoyable.
The food is easy to pair with beer, and if you match it with classic snacks like chicken wings, the hop bitterness and aroma come through even more vividly. If you're a beer lover, this is one spot where you'll want to savor both the character of the beers and the atmosphere of the place.
