Hop BroBEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa put Karuizawa Q’s “Lazy Afternoon” on as a fresh tap on July 2.
MugiWhat! That name sounds like nap-time beer. It’s actually a real beer?
Hop BroYep, and it’s a light saison, with a soft aroma and a dry finish that feels great on an easy night.
MugiNo way! But is that fancy ester character thing you’re always talking about?
Hop BroExactly. That just means a fruity aroma from the yeast. Sounds technical, but really it’s just the beer smelling bright and lively.
MugiOkay, that I get! And they had 12 taps plus a hand pump beer too? Is the bar secretly a gym?
Hop BroMore craftsmanship than workout. That’s a real ale pour, pulled by hand with softer carbonation, and they had Oni Densetsu’s “Kin-Oni Pale Ale Real Ale ver.” like that.
MugiThat’s wild. “URAWA CITY ALE” is a bitter, U.B.P BREWERY has “Kick Off Pils,” “Saihaku,” and “Raspberry Light,” and guests from Brasserie Knot, Baeren, Shiga Kogen, and Y. MARKET make it ridiculous range!
Hop BroAdd fried black abalone mushrooms, shumai, and chicken liver confit, and you’ve got a weekday night winner that already makes me want a pint.
MugiI’m done for. Start with “Lazy Afternoon,” finish with Oyama G Beer’s big dark one, and the drinking order is set. I want to head to Kita-Urawa right now!
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kitaurawa highlighted a new tap on July 2: Lazy Afternoon from Karuizawa Q. The bar positions itself as a craft-beer spot with a wide drink menu, and this lineup fits that idea well, mixing a hand-pumped real ale, house beers from U.B.P BREWERY, and guest pours from breweries around Japan.
The 12-tap lineup covers a broad range of styles. Highlights include URAWA CITY ALE, a bitter; 金鬼ペールエール リアルエールver. from Onidensetsu; U.B.P BREWERY's Kick Off Pils, 彩白, and ラズベリーライト; KOURO from Brasserie Knot; ゆるブルspelt and 其の十 from Shiga Kogen Beer; つなぐビール from Baeren; NEW鬼ヶ島IX from Y. MARKET BREWING; and インペリアルスタウト2023 from Daisen G Beer.
The food side is equally practical, with black abalone mushroom fritters, tom yum shrimp salad, house-made chicken ham with broccoli salad, chicken liver confit, and assorted shumai among the recommended dishes. It is the kind of lineup that works for a quick pint or a longer tasting session.
