Hop BroI found this place in Ningyocho, and “NIHONBASHI BREWERY Ningyocho Branch,” which has 13 kinds of craft beer, is seriously bold.
MugiWait, 13 kinds? That’s so many! It’s basically a paradise for tastings - I’d be lost trying to pick my first drink!
Hop BroAnd since you can choose S, M, or L, you can try a little at a time and figure out what you like. Being able to compare beers in small amounts is quietly amazing.
MugiHey, what is SAKE STYLE? It sounds like beer that’s kind of like sake?
Hop BroGood question. It’s a way of drinking that brings out a hinoki cypress aroma, and even the same NIHONBASHI IPA takes on a different impression.
MugiOhhh! That NIHONBASHI IPA is basically the shop’s signature beer, huh.
Hop BroExactly. It’s also interesting that it was devised for Japanese drinkers by Trevor Bress, the brewmaster of the Polish organic brewery HUB. The part about being designed for Japanese drinkers really shows they put serious effort into it.
MugiThat’s incredible! And just from the name Hitachino Yuzu Lager, you can already feel how refreshing it must be!
Hop BroThen there’s Suruga Bay Imperial IPA and Hitachino White Ale too, so the lineup covers both bitterness lovers and aroma lovers.
MugiAnd if the interior is a calm space with counter seating, it sounds perfect for daytime drinking or business dinners!
Hop BroWith 52 seats, private bookings available, and pizza and pasta that pair easily with the beer, the flow of first an IPA and then a yuzu-style beer is really nice. Having a beer-centered lineup done properly is a big strength.
MugiThat settles it! It’s easy to get to from Ningyocho, Bakuroyokoyama, and Higashi-Nihombashi, so I want to put it on my drink-tonight shortlist!
Hop BroYeah, I like that you can move between classic and distinctive styles. The feeling of wanting to drink right now totally lines up, doesn’t it?
MugiIt does! I’ll start with the NIHONBASHI IPA, and I definitely want the yuzu lager too! I’m in the mood to bar-hop, so tonight’s second stop is decided!
