MugiWhoa! The name already has me curious! Is that beer a Session Hazy IPA?
Hop BroExactly, and the point is that it really brings out bright citrus character. You get a soft citrusy aroma and the smooth mouthfeel typical of a Hazy.
MugiOh, I see! But wait, what is Hazy? Does it mean it’s all foggy and blurry or something?
Hop BroGood question. Hazy does refer to the haziness in appearance, but as for drinking, the appeal is its soft mouthfeel. Rather than pushing bitterness hard, it’s about enjoying the aroma and juiciness.
MugiI get it! And this place even selects beers from 28 breweries in Saitama Prefecture? That’s amazing!
Hop BroExactly. The taps are five rotating lines, so there’s always a different encounter each day. And since they offer a tasting set where you can choose three from today's draft beers, even beginners can compare them easily.
MugiA tasting set is the best! But food matters too, not just beer. It said the homemade dishes are extensive!
Hop BroThey don’t cut corners there either. They have dishes like craft-beer-marinated fried chicken, spicy potatoes, and fish and chips, which don’t get in the way of the Session Hazy IPA’s aroma and instead make it easier to keep drinking.
MugiWhoa, that’s unfair! Having an interior that's easy to enjoy solo drinking is a plus too, and it makes me want to drop by casually in Kawagoe and do some tasting.
Hop BroThen the plan is set. Start with one glass that goes aroma first, then nibble on the fried chicken while looking for the next draft beer. That's what I want to do right now.
MugiYep! Today I just want to raise a glass in Kawagoe!
