Two Fingers' Golden Week Event Brings Kirio-meshi, Hazy Ramen, and 16 Taps
The beer pub Two Fingers in Nishi-Ikebukuro, Tokyo, has announced the details of its Golden Week special event. Welcoming the popular Sekimachi Cellar and Beer Cafe Bankan food project Kirio-meshi, the venue will offer Hazy ramen and snacks alongside 16 taps ranging from Helles to Hazy and Stout.
Hop BroAt Two Fingers in Ikebukuro, the Golden Week event is the one with the Hazy ramen debut. The food comes from Sekimachi Cellar and Beer Cafe Bankan's popular Kirio-meshi project, and they've really put effort into the beer list too.
MugiWait, it's a beer pub even though ramen is the main attraction! 16 beers too? There's so much information my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroAnd on top of Two Fingers' house brews, they've got Tall Boys, Monkish, and even Beachwood-related beers on the board. Because the house brewing is so well developed, the venue's personality really comes through.
MugiOhh! But what does Hazy mean? You're talking about the beer, not the ramen, right?
Hop BroExactly. Hazy means a cloudy beer that puts hop aroma front and center. This time they've also got "Hazy ramen (rich style)," so it's like a collaboration of richness, with both the noodles and the beer packing a punch.
MugiThat sounds amazing! With the slow-simmered pork cartilage soki and the chashu-menma plate, you could basically win before the ramen even arrives with just the snacks!
Hop BroAnd it starts with Helles, Garage (APA), and Hop Gasoline (IPA), then goes all the way from lager to IPA to stout. The range of styles is wide, so you won't get bored from start to finish.
MugiThey've got lager, IPA, saison, and nitro stout too!? It's like a department store of beer, and my brain is screaming with happiness!
Hop BroAnd the backup list still has WCB's Starwatcher and Inkhorn x Whiplash's Tapwig waiting in reserve. The final-round candidates are so strong that you'd seriously struggle with where to end.
MugiI can't take it, my throat's already reacting just from reading it! I can see the future: a toast in Ikebukuro, then closing with Hazy ramen.
