Hop BroToday, Craft Beer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has brought out its taps of the day. With two Minamishinshu beers, plus Ushitora, Shima Brewing, and Baird, it’s very much a lineup for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, so all five have totally different personalities? That’s already the kind of thing that’s fun before you even choose!
Hop BroFirst up is Minamishinshu Beer’s SPRING SESSION. The 4.0% lightness feels great. Session beers are a style where you can enjoy aroma and flavor even with lower alcohol.
MugiSo session beer means it’s thin, right? From the name alone it sounds more like hydration during a break!
Hop BroNot thin so much as designed to drink lightly. When Minamishinshu Beer’s gentle fruitiness comes through, it becomes a really good first pint.
MugiThen next is Ushitoraman Dyna IPA! The name already sounds strong, like a hero carrying hops on his back!
Hop BroExactly. It’s an IPA where the hop aroma takes center stage. Ushitora is good at making the aroma stand out while keeping the bitterness smart, so it’s flashy without being tiring to drink.
MugiSmart bitterness sounds like bitter but clever? That’s too much of a top student for the beer world, I can’t help laughing!
Hop BroYeah, for example Shima Brewing’s Shiranui Ale has a clear citrus character and a bright finish. Once citrus aroma comes in, it immediately starts to feel like early summer.
MugiWait, Baird’s full-on citrus in the middle is here too? That already sounds like summer vacation starts right from the glass!
Hop BroFinally, Minamishinshu Beer’s Komagatake Ale has a nice balance of freshness and satisfying body. And with that tucked-away second-floor spot in Arakicho, walkable from Yotsuya-Sanchome, it’s the kind of place that becomes dangerous if you stop by after work.
MugiThis is definitely the kind of place to go as a reward after work! If we taste all five one by one, I’m pretty sure we’d both be grinning nonstop by the end!
