BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a beer pub near the south exit of Kokubunji Station in Tokyo, introduced Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Kind of Gold” in an Instagram post. It’s the latest topic from the shop, where you can enjoy 14 taps of draft beer alongside handmade food.
Hop BroThe BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS right by the south exit of Kokubunji Station introduced Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Kind of Gold.” With 14 taps, bringing in a guest beer like this really changes the whole feel of the place.
MugiWait, 14 taps of draft beer is a lot, right!? I’d be so overwhelmed trying to choose that my brain would start to toast the moment I walked in!
Hop BroAnd this time’s centerpiece is Kind of Gold. The brewery is Shiga Kogen Beer, meaning Tamamura Honten, so it makes sense that a shop that follows domestic craft beer would pick it.
MugiOhhh! But what style is it? That matters, doesn’t it? With beer, just from the name alone, sometimes the look and the contents make a huge leap!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: the article doesn’t specify. But you can think of it as a beer with the distinctive character Shiga Kogen Beer is known for. It gives off that unmistakable “this is them” feel, with aromas of hops and a crisp drinking finish.
MugiI see! But hop aroma sounds like a suddenly super-technical word! Does that mean something floral or citrusy?
Hop BroExactly, in a broad sense it’s the main source of aroma. It can bring out floral, citrusy, grassy, or even piney notes, and Shiga Kogen Beer tends to express those qualities well, which makes it fun to drink.
MugiWhoa, just imagining it makes me want to drink it! And Gambrinus has handmade food too, right? It’s so unfair that they’re serious not just about beer, but about the food too!
Hop BroThat’s one of its strengths. Ichii’s handmade dishes and even Kokubunji’s 300-year vegetables, Koku Vegi, are on the menu. It’s a place that really understands how to pair food with the character of beer.
MugiAnd with no cover charge, Wi-Fi, and a fully non-smoking setup, that sense of comfort is amazing! You can just drop by and drink slowly. That’s the best!
Hop BroExactly. If you want to take your time with Shiga Kogen in Kokubunji, this is the kind of place you want. Tonight makes me want to have a glass of Kind of Gold with some food.
MugiDecided! I want to toast right now! The combination of Shiga Kogen Beer and handmade food is absolutely going to be delicious!
BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, a beer pub located one minute on foot from the south exit of Kokubunji Station in Tokyo, offers 14 taps of draft craft beer. In this post, it introduces Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Kind of Gold / カインド オブ ゴールド” through an embedded Instagram post.
Although the post text is centered around the embed, the article title clearly identifies both the beer and the brewery. The featured beer is Shigakogen Beer / Shiga Kogen Beer (Tamamura Honten)’s “Kind of Gold.” Given that Gambrinus is a shop that regularly follows domestic craft beer, it can be read as one of the beers in its draft lineup chosen to showcase the distinctive character typical of Shiga Kogen Beer.
One of the shop’s strengths is that you can enjoy beer with handmade dishes prepared by Ichii, a Japanese cuisine chef. There are also dishes made with Kokubunji’s 300-year vegetables, “Koku Vegi,” so the menu is designed with food pairings in mind, not just beer. The shop is also fully non-smoking, has no cover charge, and provides Wi-Fi, making it easy to relax with a glass in hand. It’s a place well suited to anyone who wants to savor a glass of Shiga Kogen Beer slowly alongside handmade food.
