Hop BroKaze-nori Merry in Roppongi opens at 5 p.m. today, and they're rolling out a weekend-only curry plate with fresh taps, which is frankly dangerous.
MugiWait, what! Beer was already enough to lure me in, and now it's curry as the headliner too? That's a direct attack on my stomach!
Hop BroExactly, and it's a beer pub with 15-plus draft beers, plus counter seating, so even solo drinkers can drop in without a problem.
MugiWhoa! That plate already has beef and chicken keema, and then it adds pork belly curry and purple cabbage achar? That's not a plate, that's an event!
Hop BroAnd it brings in seasonal vegetables too, with komatsuna saag, asparagus with mustard oil, and potato basil etuve, a full fermentation and spice lineup.
MugiHold on, potato basil etuve? Is that a side dish, a spell, or a chef suddenly switching genres?
Hop BroEtuve basically means gentle steam-braising with very little liquid. It keeps the aroma locked in, so the potato and basil both come through cleanly.
MugiWhat is that, why do I understand it now? So then which beer can be a real match for curry without getting flattened?
Hop BroFalò Brewing's OBAKE can. It's an American IPA, and the hop aroma plus bitterness can stand up to a meaty curry really well.
MugiOh wow, that name already sounds strong! And now I want karuizawa Q's Yokaze on the table too so I can compare the two.
Hop BroThat's the nice thing about Kaze-nori Merry. The draft lineup is bold enough for the food, and the whole experience comes together at one table.
MugiI'm done for. My stomach and my throat are both yelling yes, and I want a pint now before going all in on that curry!
Kazenori Merry is a basement beer pub in Roppongi that focuses on more than 15 draft craft beers from Japan and abroad. The shop says it is easy to visit alone thanks to its counter seating, and its food program centers on spice- and fermentation-led dishes, especially curry.
In its Instagram post, the pub highlighted a weekend-only curry plate. The lineup included beef-and-chicken keema, pork belly curry, asparagus chili-oil grill, potato basil etuve, komatsuna saag, and red cabbage achar. The caption also mentioned that the plate would be available on Sunday, August 16, from 5:00 p.m.
The beer update named two recent taps: karuizawa Q's "Yokaze" and Falò Brewing's "OBAKE." OBAKE is described as an American IPA, and the pairing message is clear: a hearty curry plate matched with beers that can stand up to it. For beer fans, that makes the bar's food list part of the draw, not just an accompaniment.
