Mitaka's "Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi" announces a tap list of 10 domestic beers for 5/16
Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi, just south of Mitaka Station, has released its tap list to match its Saturday, May 16, 15:00-23:00 business hours. The lineup features 10 beers from Japanese breweries such as Romanchikku Mura, Iwate Kura, Locobeer, and Shiga Kogen Beer, offering a wide range from bright sours to stout.
Hop BroBeer Pub Nekotoazarashi just south of Mitaka Station put out a tap list of 10 domestic beers for Saturday, May 16 from 15:00 to 23:00. Being able to drink from daylight hours already feels great, doesn't it?
MugiWhoa! 10 domestic beers? They're lining up that many? And it's a counter-focused beer pub in Mitaka too? That's the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular!
Hop BroThe opener is Tochigi Berry Berry Sour, followed by English IPA, Super Saison 2024, and Stout, and the flow is beautifully arranged. Starting with tartness, then aroma, and ending with dark beer, the whole thing is really well thought out.
MugiWhat is that! Sour and saison and all those names suddenly make me sound smart just for saying them! How am I supposed to choose based on mood?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, sours are all about acidity and fruitiness, saisons are known for aroma and dryness, and IPAs put hop aroma out front. So if you want to start light, go with a sour; if you want to enjoy aroma, choose an IPA; and if you want to settle in and finish calmly, stout is probably the move.
MugiOhh! Then Moji Port Beer's Sakura Beer and Beer Herun's Pilsner sound easy to drink too! Having classics like that makes things feel safe even for beer beginners.
Hop BroExactly, and since they also have Pale Ale, it's a good entry point for trying hop aroma too. Plus, Saruyama Shikao and the silver-label version of SNOW MONKEY IPA are being served in limited quantities, which adds a nice little sense of rarity.
MugiWhen I hear 'limited quantities,' it feels so much like first come, first served! And they even have almost cider Fuji ver.? Sounds like a great way to switch things up between beers!
Hop BroThe food doesn't miss either, and the new onion menu is doing real work here. The simmered new onion and bacon dish is limited to 6 servings, and there are salads and omelets too, so you can have a lot of fun pairing them with the beers.
MugiOnly 6 servings is brutal... Ordering while thinking about beer and food pairings feels like a pretty grown-up kind of fun, and I kind of admire that.
Hop BroA day spent working through 10 taps of domestic craft beer in Mitaka is happiness all by itself. All right, today we'll start with a sour, move to an IPA, and finish with stout, and now I really want both of us to go out for drinks.
MugiDeal! If I can toast in daylight, I'm in too! I'll start by sizing things up with a sour, and before I know it I'll probably end up all the way at dark beer!
Business hours and lineup for 5/16
Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi will be open on Saturday, May 16 from 15:00 to 23:00. This counter-focused beer pub is a 3-minute walk from the south exit of Mitaka Station, making it a place where you can enjoy craft beer from early in the day.
