Hop BroRight near Kyodo Station in the basement, MAHOW BREW’s Ophelia has been newly tapped. When a guest beer from Okinawa comes in, even the atmosphere inside the shop feels a little like traveling.
MugiWait, passion fruit and sea salt? I can’t even tell whether this is dessert or dinner!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. It’s an Imperial Gose, designed to layer fruit’s sweet-tart character with saltiness, then finish crisply.
MugiGose? Huh, a beer with salt? Won’t it just taste so salty it feels like you fell into the sea?
Hop BroNope, not at all. It uses shikuwasa juice from Nago City, sea salt from Yagaji Island, and even the aroma of coriander to give it shape.
MugiWhoa! If it even has mango and guava, the aroma alone could take me straight to the tropics!
Hop BroExactly. It’s built around tropical fruit character, while the drinking experience still has that crisp Gose finish. And Magic Hour Kyodo is a six-tap beer pub, so this kind of rotation is part of the fun.
MugiAnd it’s calm down on the basement first floor too, which makes it feel kind of like a secret base! If they’ve got curry and achar too, this has to be something special, right?
Hop BroSpecial, yes, but more importantly, right. Pair it with spice curry and Ophelia’s fruitiness and saltiness come forward even more, so it has a really strong match with the food.
MugiJust imagining it makes me want a drink already! A pint in the basement of Kyodo sounds like the kind of night you want to go out for!
