MugiWhoa! With everything from lager to IPA, even a craft-beer beginner like me can explore.
Hop BroStart with Tsuki to Taiyo Brewing’s Uryu Rice Lager at 5%. Rice should give it a crisp, easy-drinking finish.
MugiRice in beer—what?! Is it going to taste like a bowl of rice?
Hop BroNo worries. Rice doesn’t make it taste like dinner; it helps create a lighter, drier finish.
MugiNice! Then I want to try NOVORU’s Kureru, too—it sounds wonderfully malty.
Hop BroKureru is a 5% amber ale with malt depth. Kyoto Brewing’s Coffee Brown Ale also sounds made for food pairing.
MugiCoffee, beer, and “malt character”... that is one packed glass of information!
Hop BroMalt means the grain side of beer. Roasted malt can bring coffee-like aromas—think toasty dark bread notes.
MugiGot it! And they have a Hazy IPA and a West Coast IPA for a side-by-side tasting?
Hop BroPaint Palette Brewing’s Chromatic Blast is soft and hop-forward, while Revision’s Single Track Theory is sharp and dry: an IPA comparison flight.
MugiA tasting flight means snack time! Bonito carpaccio, sausage pasta, and house-made white sangria too? Unfairly tempting!
Hop BroOn October 24 and 25, they’re also hosting Chinese Food and Pilsner—a great reason to head to Nogata.
MugiIt’s settled! We’ll check the tap availability, toast with the rice lager, then tackle the IPA tasting route!
NEIGHBOR craftbeer&grill, a beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has announced its current craft beer tap list. Six beers are identified from the eight-tap lineup, covering a broad range of styles—from a crisp rice lager and malt-forward amber ale to gose, brown ale, Hazy IPA, and West Coast IPA.
On tap at number one is Moon & Sun Brewing’s Uryu Style Lager (5%), followed by NOVORU’s Kureru Amber Ale (5%). The lineup also includes Tropical Splash CRAFTROCK BREWING’s Margarita Goze (4.5%), a tropical-leaning gose-style beer, and Kyoto Brewing’s Share Coffee Brown Ale (5%), a roast-forward brown ale with coffee-like character.
Hop-focused drinkers can choose between Paint Palette Brewing’s Chromatic Blast Hazy IPA (6.5%) and Revision’s Single Track Theory West Coast IPA (6.5%). The two beers offer a contrast between the softer, fuller hop expression associated with Hazy IPA and the sharper, drier profile of a West Coast IPA.
NEIGHBOR is also recommending a house-made white sangria made with sweet Toki apples from Aomori and rosemary grown locally. Its gentle apple sweetness and fresh herbal aroma provide an alternative to beer. Food options include bonito carpaccio with chimichurri sauce, charcoal-grilled lotus root with house hot sauce, mushroom carpaccio, and salsiccia with mushrooms in aglio e olio.
Located at J-ARC Nogata 1F, 6-30-26 Nogata, Nakano, NEIGHBOR is scheduled to host a “Chinese Food and Pilsner” event on October 24 and 25. Availability may change, so guests should check with the pub before visiting.
