Himalaya table posts June 15 tap list with ogna Hima Bitter and eight beers
Himalaya table, a beer pub in Kanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, published its tap lineup for Monday, June 15. The list opens with ogna’s Hima Bitter and Mojiko Retro Beer Pilsner, then moves through beers from Onidensetsu, Minoh, Nara Brewing, Ushitora, and Swan Lake.
Hop BroThe eight taps at Himalaya table in Uchikanda are a seriously good lineup for Monday, June 15. They lead with ogna's 'Hima Bitter' and Mojiko Retro Beer Pilsner, so the first choice is already tough.
MugiWait, Hima Bitter sounds cute, but does 'bitter' mean actually bitter? And putting it next to a pilsner feels like the menu is bullying me into doing a side-by-side tasting!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. You can compare malt depth and easy drinkability right away. Hima Bitter should show more malt character, while the pilsner goes down clean, so the first two pours basically draw the map for the whole list.
MugiA map? My mouth is going on a field trip now? But seriously, pilsner is what exactly? The name sounds hardcore, but the vibe sounds crisp and refreshing!
Hop BroA pilsner is basically a crisp lager. Broadly speaking, it's clean, snappy, and great at cutting through rich, spicy food. With the Nepalese dishes at Himalaya table, that's a very safe bet.
MugiOoh, Nepalese food and craft beer together sounds dangerous in the best way. If that works with curry-like dishes too, my stomach and my throat are both making plans!
Hop BroIf you want to go deeper, the Simcoe Single Ver. from Kin-Oni Pale Ale and Oni Densetsu's YUYA BOYS IPL both stand out. Since it's single-hop, you get that hop character straight with no distractions.
MugiHold on, single-hop means what now? You just kicked open the lab door and started lecturing with a beaker in your hand!
Hop BroIt means the beer showcases one hop variety so you can read its personality clearly. It's basically a hop aroma showcase where you can point and say, 'Ah, that's the citrus one, that's the piney one.'
Hop BroAnd the range is wide: Minoh Beer Kozaru IPA, Nara Brewing UNDERWATER, Ushitora's 'Totonoimashita! Yuzucchi,' and Swan Lake's Nagi, so it really runs from IPA to Kolsch. There's IPL in there too, which makes the list easy for both aroma chasers and clean-beer drinkers.
MugiThat is so unfair in the best way. Being able to sample all eight little by little means I'd start fresh with Yuzucchi, get hyped with Kozaru IPA, and then immediately start planning lap two!
Hop BroA calm second-floor spot in Uchikanda where you can build the night around food or around beer is a strong setup. At this point I just want to start with Hima Bitter, and I can already see us accidentally finishing the whole tap list.
Himalaya table, on the second floor of the Daido Building in Uchi-Kanda, Tokyo, serves Nepalese food alongside craft beer. For Monday, June 15, the tap list starts with `ogna Hima Bitter` and `Mojiko Retro Beer Pilsner`, giving the board a clear contrast between malt-forward character and a cleaner, lighter pour.
The rest of the lineup is `Kinoni Pale Ale 'Simcoe Single Ver.'`, `Onidensetsu YUYA BOYS IPL - Jamboree SP Ver.`, `Minoh Beer Kozaru IPA`, `Nara Brewing UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS-SAKE YEAST BEER-`, `Ushitora Totonaimashita! Yuzucchi`, and `Swan Lake Nagi / Köln Stayle Kölsch-`. With pale ale, IPL, IPA, a sour-leaning beer, and kölsch on the same board, the selection covers a wide range of hop aroma, brightness, and finish.
That range makes the list easy to build around food. The low-key beer-pub setting and spice-driven Nepalese kitchen give drinkers room to sample styles across the spectrum, whether they want to pair each glass with a dish or simply work through the taps one by one.
