At Golden Garden, a beer pub in Shintenchi, Hiroshima, the draft beer lineup in the store changes over time, and the shop uses Instagram posts to let people know what is currently available. In the post, HNB RED IPA, introduced as an OK!! Hiroshima collaboration beer, was marked as running low, while Rinki Sakura Henge was announced as sold out.

The shop's strength is that you can casually enjoy beers brewed in-house by HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING. The post also says that there is a happy hour every day until 7 p.m., offering a time when draft beer can be enjoyed at a discount. For beer fans, the best approach is to check the house regulars and limited drafts first, then choose the pint that suits your taste.

On the food side, one of the things that gives this place its character is the generous selection of snacks made with Hatcho miso. With smoked potato salad, cod cutlet with tartar sauce, quail eggs marinated in red miso, pickled daikon and cucumber in Hatcho miso, and beef tendon and tofu simmered in Hatcho miso, the lineup is designed to stand up to beer's bitterness and malt sweetness. The curry of the day was a chicken and bamboo shoot tomato curry. Not only beer, but pairing it with a meal is part of the appeal.

When you want to pair draft beer from a local brewery with richly flavored snacks in central Hiroshima, Golden Garden is one of the strongest options.
