Hop BroAt BEER CAFE GAMBRINUS, just steps from the south exit of Kokubunji Station, Milder Seven is being tapped. It's Kakegawa Farm's bitter style, a gentle beer that goes well with food.
MugiHuh, a bitter style that's gentle? It sounds strong just from the name, but the personality is mellow?
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness doesn't take over, so it has a mild, easy-drinking finish that goes down smoothly. It should pair nicely with the handmade dishes from Japanese chef Ichii, which makes it a perfect fit for the shop's strengths.
MugiOhh! Then the food sounds like it'll go down too. Wait, does this place really have 14 taps of draft beer? Wouldn't I get lost with that many?
Hop BroGetting lost is part of the fun. From U.B.P Brewery's IPAs to Nomcraft's hazies, plus Ise Kadoya, Hansharo Beer, and Pilsner Urquell, it's a lineup with a wide range of flavors.
MugiWhat a luxury! And it opens on April 29 for Showa Day at 3:00 p.m., so it feels like you could drink in a slightly retro mood!
Hop BroThat's the fun of it. The food lineup also includes Showa-motif dishes like tulip fried chicken, ham cutlet, octopus sausages, and Bon Curry, so the beer really stands out.
MugiWait, they even have Bon Curry!? My stomach has already time-traveled to the Showa era! And being fully non-smoking with no cover charge makes it easy to walk in.
Hop BroExactly. It's great that it's easy to use whether you're drinking alone or with a group. And with Nara Brewing and Shiga Kogen Beer coming soon, it makes you look forward to the next beer too.
MugiWow, if Kokubunji has this much on offer, I have to go! First I want to drink Milder Seven and chase it with some tulip fried chicken!
Hop BroIt's decided. Then tonight, let's take our time and enjoy draft beer and Showa-style food at GAMBRINUS.
