Three Taps Debut at Tasogare Lily, Including Two West Coast Brewing Collaborations
A May 23 post from Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily in Minami Ward, Nagoya, announced a 12:00 opening and welcomed daytime drinking. It introduced three of today's curries and a three-beer tap list, including two collaborations with West Coast Brewing.
Hop BroIn Nagoya's Minami Ward, Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily posted on May 23 that it would open at 12:00. It is basically saying it is ready for daytime curry-and-beer sessions, and the whole place already has the face of "we're ready to drink."
MugiWhoa! So daytime drinking is welcome! And it's a curry shop, but they're seriously talking about beer too. That's so much information that my stomach is reacting first!
Hop BroToday's curries are a three-item lineup: Mango Pork, Dal, and Rebellious Butter Chicken. Each one leans differently into sweetness, bean savoriness, and richness, so they're really strong as a base for beer too.
MugiWhat, that already sounds delicious from the names alone! But how is Rebellious Butter Chicken rebellious? Does it break the rules?
Hop BroThat's the fun part: it keeps the outline of the spices sharp while bringing everything together with butter's roundness. It feels built so it won't be too heavy even for daytime drinking, which makes it very much a spice curry design in Tasogare Lily's style.
MugiOhhh! Then I definitely want to know the tap list too! It feels like they aren't just serving something light, but coming in strong!
Hop BroFirst is Double Kimchi, a West Coast Brewing × White Crow Brewing collaboration, a West Coast Double IPA at 8.5% ABV. Since it uses Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka, it's the kind that brings a big wave of citrus and tropical fruit.
MugiWait, what's Citra CRYO!? That sounds like some kind of frozen ultimate weapon!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a way to use hop aroma compounds more intensely. So instead of pushing bitterness, it increases aroma density and gives it aromatic depth that can stand up to curry spices.
MugiGot it! Then The Technician's Funky Kettle Sour is the one that resets your mouth with acidity, right? It sounds like you could keep drinking and eating forever!
Hop BroExactly. And No Ketchup is a Hazy Double IPA from West Coast Brewing × Hop Butcher For The World, at 7.5% ABV. It's a cross-collab with Hop Butcher from Chicago, so you can enjoy a thick, hazy kind of richness that's bound to hit hard for IPA fans.
MugiWow, with two WCB collaborations plus a sour, the happiness of drinking from lunchtime is totally jammed up there... And since they're closed on May 31 for SOCIAL TOWER MARKET, I don't want to miss the day I can go!
Hop BroAnd from June 19, they're planning to start a Washoku gathering too. If you can enjoy curry, beer, and events all in Uchidabashi Shopping Street, then this is the kind of place that makes you want to plan not just one drink, but a second one too.
MugiYeah, yeah, I want to start with one tap beer and then chase it with curry! Let's go to Tasogare Lily today and really drink from lunchtime on!
“Curry and Beer Tasogare Lily” in Uchidabashi, Minami Ward, Nagoya, is a beer pub built around spice curry and craft beer. In an Instagram post on May 23, it announced a “12:00 opening” and made clear that light drinking from lunchtime onward is welcome.
Today's Curries
- Mango Pork
- Dal
- Rebellious Butter Chicken
Three curries were on offer, creating a lineup that spans fruity sweetness, the savory richness of beans, and the depth of butter chicken. It is very much Tasogare Lily-like in how it keeps the outline of the spices intact while still feeling balanced enough to pair easily with beer from lunchtime onward.
TAP LIST
- Double Kimchi / West Coast Brewing × White Crow Brewing
West Coast Double IPA, 8.5% ABV. Uses Citra CRYO, El Dorado, and Motueka.
- The Technician / West Coast Brewing
Funky Kettle Sour, 5.5% ABV.
- No Ketchup / West Coast Brewing × Hop Butcher For The World
Hazy Double IPA, 7.5% ABV. A cross-collaboration with Hop Butcher For The World of Chicago, USA.
With three taps including two WCB collaborations, the lineup lets drinkers move between the heft of IPA and the briskness of sour beer. Paired with the curries' spices, it is easy to imagine a flow where the first drink is all about aroma and the second layers in more umami.
The post also noted that the shop will be closed on Sunday, May 31 due to its booth at SOCIAL TOWER MARKET, and that it is planning to start a Washoku gathering on Friday, June 19. Tasogare Lily is building presence as a shop that moves between everyday service and event-driven programming in the local atmosphere of the shopping street.
The appeal of this place is that you can enjoy curry and craft beer together in Uchidabashi Shopping Street. On days when it is open from lunchtime, it feels right to start with a tap beer and follow it with curry.
