Hop BroSo at MOKICHI TRATTORIA in Chigasaki, they introduced a limited Shonan Beer Helles, right? It’s golden-colored, and just from the look of it you think, "Oh, this is going to go down light and easy today."
MugiWait, limited Helles? That already sounds delicious just from the name! Helles isn’t some kind of spell, right?
Hop BroHelles is a German word meaning a "bright" style. It’s a lager, so it’s clean and refreshing, but the nice part is that you still get that good malt flavor.
MugiI get that lager means clean and refreshing, but do people really say "crisp mouthfeel" for beer too? That sounds a little like food and is making me hungry!
Hop BroThey do. In the article, it was described as having a fragrant character like freshly baked bread, with a honey-like malt sweetness layered on top. Then the bitterness comes in neatly and brings the whole thing into balance.
MugiWhat is that, some kind of bakery temptation? Even though it’s beer, the aroma alone makes me think of breakfast too. That’s kind of unfair!
Hop BroAnd MOKICHI TRATTORIA is a beer pub on the grounds of Kumazawa Brewing, using a building relocated from a 450-year-old traditional house. The atmosphere is so good it feels like you could finish a glass just from the setting.
MugiFour hundred fifty years? That’s an incredible weight of history! Drinking Helles in a place like that would definitely make it taste 30% better!
Hop BroThe food lineup is strong too. They have stone-oven pizza, house-made pasta, and bread platters, so Helles’ gentle bitterness and malt sweetness pair really well with the menu.
MugiSo it pairs perfectly with everything from appetizers to pizza? I’m basically ready to drink now, but the serving time is still undecided, right?
Hop BroRight, the post also said that checking in store is the surest way. So if you’re heading to Chigasaki, the moment you spot the notice at MOKICHI TRATTORIA, you’ll want to have a glass with some bread too.
MugiYeah, I want to take it easy and drink while feeling the Shonan vibe! After hearing this, both Hop and I are probably ready to go hunt for Helles right now!
