Hop BroToday, the star is Shinjuku's 100-bottle showcase. Craft Beer 100 Otomoni x Sakelist Shinjuku is a beer pub where the fun is choosing the one bottle that catches your eye yourself.
MugiWait, 100 kinds!? I'd be lost before even choosing! But that's the kind of thing that gets me excited!
Hop BroThis time's featured beer is Kagoya Brewery's "Hanayasume HANAYASUME." It's a Hazy IPA + Coriander, with an alcohol content of 5.0%.
MugiI kind of get Hazy IPA, but what does with coriander mean!? Is that the spice used in cooking!?
Hop BroExactly, that spice. It layers the hops' fruity aroma with coriander's refreshing quality, making it feel much more dimensional.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just cloudy, it's like they're playing with the aroma. That's kind of stylish!
Hop BroAnd it's described as having a juice-like thick mouthfeel. It has the soft character you'd expect from a Hazy IPA, plus a lightness that feels very spring-like.
MugiThat's amazing! If someone says it's a beer for spring, I already want to drink it!
Hop BroThe location is interesting too, since it's inside reDine Shinjuku in Shinjuku, so you can choose while thinking about how it pairs with food. It's strong for a beer-first night.
MugiWhoa, that's dangerous... If I were staring at the showcase, I'd probably end up on my second drink before I knew it!
Hop BroBut that's what makes it fun. It's great as an entry point for tasting different beers, and it works whether you're alone or with someone. If I found Hanayasume today, I'd be pretty drawn to it too.
MugiThen let's go հիմա! If we toast in Shinjuku, maybe we can find our destined bottle from among the 100 kinds!
