The beer pub "Craft Beer & Spice Food Neko no Shukaijo" in Tokyo's Umegaoka announced a special event for March 28 and 29. In addition to serving Shiga Kogen's large-bottle beer "Yamabushi" by the glass, six taps with distinct personalities will be on offer.
Hop BroUmegaoka's Neko no Shukaijo is looking pretty hot on 3/28 and 3/29. They've got a plan to serve Shiga Kogen's famous large-bottle beer "Yamabushi" by the glass.
MugiWait, what! Serving a large bottle by the glass? Isn't that a little too luxurious? I love being able to taste it little by little instead of committing to a whole bottle!
Hop BroAnd the thing is, Yamabushi is excellent as a food-pairing beer. When you pair it with spice food, its aroma and umami really stand out.
MugiWhat does food-pairing beer even mean! So it's a beer that's strong with meals? Like, it would work with curry and stuff?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind that stays alongside the food without getting in the way. And this time they're also bringing in a Brown Cheese Baguette, so it makes you want to try how the richness of the cheese works with Yamabushi.
MugiThat's amazing! If it comes with a plate of three natural cheeses plus baguette, that's basically the kind of thing that makes the beer never stop flowing!
Hop BroThe taps are interesting too, with six characterful beers lined up. West Coast Pilsner, American Pale Ale, Saison, Weizen, Hazy IPA, and IPA make for a really nice spread.
MugiOhhh! So they've got everything from aromatic styles to easy-drinking ones. Just from the names alone, it already feels like a tasting showdown is about to begin!
Hop BroAnd since draft beer comes in three sizes, you can go after the ones you like little by little. You can also drink and buy cans and bottles there, so it's nice that you can take home anything you love on the spot.
MugiThat's dangerous... it's way too strong as a weekend detour spot! Yamabushi at Neko no Shukaijo, then a tap-beer tasting session? I already want to go right now!
At the beer pub "Craft Beer & Spice Food Neko no Shukaijo" in Umegaoka, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, two specials are prepared for March 28 and 29. One is a chance to enjoy Shiga Kogen's large-bottle beer "Yamabushi" by the glass.

Not only beer, but also the quality of the snacks is very much in keeping with this place.
