Tokaido BEER Opens a New Tap at KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand in Kawasaki Azalea, with UTAMARO ALE Also Arriving
KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand by Tokaido Beer, directly connected to Kawasaki Station, updated its tap list on Saturday, April 4. Today's recommendation was Tokaido BEER's limited-brew UTAMARO ALE, and a total of 18 beers were lined up, including Porter, Hazy IPA, and Belgian Wheat.
Hop BroToday, KAWASAKI Craft Beer Stand at Kawasaki Azalea is on fire. The Tokaido BEER taps have been refreshed all at once, and the limited UTAMARO ALE is on tap too.
MugiWhoa! UTAMARO ALE sounds powerful just from the name! And it's limited edition, too? That's already the kind of beer I want to drink right away!
Hop BroExactly. It's Tokaido BEER's ninth beer, and it's an officially approved limited beer for the Kanamara Festival. What's interesting is the fresh acidity reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc, with grapefruit flavor layered on top.
MugiSauvignon Blanc... that's wine, right? Why does beer give off a grape-like aroma?
Hop BroGood question. Fruity character can show up through hop aroma compounds and fermentation-derived elements. UTAMARO ALE is the kind that puts fresh acidity out front and finishes with a bitter aftertaste.
MugiI see! And today there are 18 taps in total, right? Porter, Hazy IPA, and Belgian Wheat too? I'm going to get lost before I even choose!
Hop BroGetting lost is welcome. It's not just standard IPA and Porter either. Names like Black Slackening Porter and Wheat Encounter Belgian Wheat are fun just for the playfulness of them.
MugiWhat is that? The beer names are already having a conversation! Just reading Kawasaki Big Biiato Totonoeru makes my shoulders loosen up!
Hop BroAnd the shop is directly connected to Kawasaki Station, so it's easy to drop by after work. Plus, outside food is allowed and you can use it for takeout too, so it's very convenient.
MugiWhat, it's that flexible? And with scratch cards for purchases over 1,000 yen and novelties for 2,000 yen or more, there are more and more reasons to drink!
Hop BroYeah, and the appeal is that you can compare beers from different breweries with Tokaido BEER at the center. Today really feels like a Kawasaki bar-hopping mood. Start with UTAMARO ALE and take your time with the lineup.
MugiI've decided! I'll start with a toast with UTAMARO ALE, then go for the Hazy IPA! I can't stop wanting to drink right now!
