Hop BroAt MOKICHI TRATTORIA in Chigasaki, they’ve got Shonan Beer’s guest beer 'IPA VISTA.' The fact that you can drink it in a 450-year-old traditional house already makes the scenery part of the treat.
MugiWait, IPA in an old house!? It feels stylish, but then all of a sudden the beer gets serious!
Hop BroAnd it’s a single-hop IPA, putting the American hop Vista front and center. Even with just one hop, the aroma comes through with a really sharp outline, which is interesting.
MugiSingle-hop means it uses just one hop variety, right? Huh, can that really hold up flavor-wise?
Hop BroNot only does it hold up, it actually makes Vista’s character easier to see. Melon, tangerine, and tropical fruit come out one after another, like a relay race of aromas.
MugiMelon, tropical fruit, and tangerine? That’s an aroma traffic jam! But it sounds delicious, so I’ll allow it!
Hop BroIt also has apricot, white peach, and pear-like fruitiness, and it finishes with a lingering note of hassaku orange. It’s not just sweet; it has a clean finish.
MugiFinishing with hassaku is kind of smart! It gets softly sweet in the middle, then ends with a proper citrus snap.
Hop BroThe nice thing is that it’s available not just for dine-in, but also for takeaway. Pair it with tomato-sauce pizza or appetizers, and the fruitiness should really pop.
MugiJust thinking about it makes me hungry! I’d definitely want this with pizza, and then grab another one to take home on the way back!
Hop BroThe appeal of drinking a guest beer in a space rooted in the Shonan region is just great. Today’s a day for IPA VISTA at MOKICHI, carefully tracing the aroma and raising a glass.
MugiYeah, today I want it to be a glass where I really follow the aroma! And if it’s in a traditional house, the whole mood is delicious too!
