Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku has brought in Shiga Kogen Beer’s FRESH HOP IPA. That is very hard to pass up.
MugiWhoa! It sounds super fresh already. What does loads of fresh hops mean compared with regular hops?
Hop BroFresh hops are used soon after harvest, without being dried first. They can give a vivid, just-picked aroma—like a hop field cannonballing into your glass.
MugiA hop field cannonballing in?! My glass needs a lifeguard! But the aroma is more like citrus and peach, right?
Hop BroExactly. Triumph, Cascade, and VISTA hops bring notes of lime, lemon, and peach, while the beer keeps a crisp, clean finish.
MugiCrisp finish? Is the beer carrying a sword now? I’m picturing a hop samurai showdown!
Hop BroThat would be powerful! Here, crisp means the flavor does not linger heavily after a sip—it leaves a clean, drinkable finish.
MugiGot it! FRESH HOP IPA for a hop-forward mood, and then there’s VERTERE from Okutama with Ravenia American IPA too.
Hop BroAnd there’s also Pear Sour with Raspberry & Thyme. With something tart in the lineup too, it is perfect for a fun tasting flight.
MugiThree beers on tap and around 30 cans and bottles—and there’s an autumn food menu? My appetite and beer cravings are both cheering!
Hop BroPumpkin quiche, house-made salsiccia, and cod fish tacos all sound great with beer. It’s a Nishi-Shinjuku beer pub on the first floor of Tenku MURA, open for lunch and dinner.
MugiThen let’s catch that fresh-hop aroma, pair it with food, and toast! I want to go drink now!
