Hop BroCitra-ba Nakano in Nakano has put out a 2-tap new opening that's perfect for hot days. First is Nihonkai Club's Weizen and Barebottle Brewing's Miami Rice, and that lineup already feels like summer.
MugiHuh, what's a Weizen!? The name sounds cute, but suddenly it feels very beer-like!
Hop BroWeizen is a white beer made with wheat, and its signature is a soft mouthfeel. Nihonkai Club's version is fruity and goes down smoothly when your throat is dry from the heat.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds good as a first drink. Light and crisp feels like something kind at the start of a night out!
Hop BroExactly. And the shop is also highlighting its shari-kin lemon sour, which is tempting too, but as beer drinkers, this Weizen is the one I'd want to secure first.
MugiWait, what's shari-kin!? Is it the kind with crunchy shaved ice? The name alone sounds so refreshing!
Hop BroThat's right, it's a lemon sour focused on being ice-cold. And the other one, Miami Rice, is interesting in a different way. It's a West Coast IPA from a collaboration between Barebottle Brewing and Hop Dogma Brewing.
MugiWhen I hear West Coast IPA, I can only imagine the hops going wild. And they put rice in it too!?
Hop BroRight, they use jasmine rice, so the citrus and pine hop aroma is layered with a bright rice-derived character. It has a sharp finish, but the aroma is bold. It's a very modern IPA.
MugiSo the aroma is bold and the finish is sharp. If I could drink that in Nakano, it would feel like a reward after work!
Hop BroAnd Citra-ba Nakano also takes food seriously, with Citra-ba Chicken and other snacks, so it doesn't end with just beer. Being able to relax and drink in a calm interior is another big plus.
MugiAll right, I want to cool off with Nihonkai Club Weizen first! Then I want Miami Rice to smack me with hops!

In this Instagram post, the shop introduced a "shari-kin lemon sour" as a drink best enjoyed in the chilled interior, in line with the day when Tokyo recorded its first midsummer day of the year. It also announced that two new craft beer taps had been opened.

The second is "Miami Rice" from Barebottle Brewing. This West Coast IPA, a collaboration with Hop Dogma Brewing, uses jasmine rice to layer a bright rice-derived aroma with hop-driven citrus and pine notes. It's a release not to miss for anyone who likes a sharp, snappy finish.
