Hop BroI want to talk about Honjo Ginza Brewery’s Yomogi Mogimogi IPA today. The name alone already sounds impossible to ignore.
MugiWhat? Triple mogimogi and it’s still an IPA? That name is cute, then suddenly the hops kick the door in!
Hop BroHere’s the good part: it’s a collab with Craft Beer House Takasaki. And the style is a Hazy IPA, so they’re clearly going bold.
MugiOh wow! But every time I hear Hazy IPA, I picture drinking beer inside a cloud and getting lost.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a soft and cloudy IPA. The bitterness stays smoother, and the aroma comes in layered and juicy.
MugiNo way! And it uses yomogi and vanilla too? That sounds like a wagashi shop and a beer bar teamed up.
Hop BroAnd they even added matcha. The recipe was designed by brewmaster Aka, building layers of green Japanese botanicals and sweet aroma.
MugiHold on, aroma layers? Every time you say that, your beer explanation turns into a pastry review. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroBasically, you get yomogi freshness first, then a gentle vanilla note, and after that the rounded Hazy IPA body pulls everything together.
MugiOhh, nice. And at a small brewpub near Honjo Station, you can drink it while looking at the brewing equipment across the counter? That’s a great vibe.
Hop BroExactly. With about ten seats and guest beers in rotation, the place probably feels different every time you visit. This is the kind of pint you want on-site.
MugiI’m sold. I want it now, and I also want to order it while saying the name three times. Yomogi Mogimogi IPA is way too memorable.
