Hop BroToday's topic is Kazenori Merry in Roppongi. They're taking a summer break on Tuesday, August 25, but the taps before that are looking seriously good.
MugiWhat! A summer break notice that somehow makes me want a beer immediately? That feels unfair!
Hop BroThe recent lineup has three notable pours: Noroshi Brewing's Micro Saison, KaruizawaQ's Ann, and Isekadoya Beer's Ohisama Ale.
MugiWait, what is a Micro Saison? That sounds tiny and mysterious at the same time!
Hop BroThis one is a 2.5 percent saison. It stays light and dry, but still has that yeast-driven spicy character, so it drinks super easily.
MugiHold on, yeast-driven spice? So the beer is acting like a spice rack now?
Hop BroEasy mistake, but aroma from the yeast can come across like pepper. It's not actually hot, just crisp and really food-friendly.
MugiOhhh, got it! Then how do Ann and Ohisama Ale match with today's two curries?
Hop BroA lighter saison-like beer such as Ann would be great with the duck and pea shoot curry, while a fragrant pale ale like Ohisama Ale fits the beef curry. And they might keep serving nukazuke goya achar too, which is a very sharp move.
Hop BroThat's the charm of it. It's a beer-first kind of place, but you can go back and forth with curries that have real spice definition.
MugiNow my stomach and my throat both want attention. If August 25 is their day off, I want to head straight downstairs before then!
Hop BroThat's the plan. We'll go on an open day, start with Micro Saison for round one, and let the beer and curry carry the rest of summer.
Kazenori Merry, a basement beer pub in Roppongi, shared an Instagram update with its latest tap list and curry offerings. The post also notes that the shop will take a summer break on Tuesday, Aug. 25.
The newly tapped beers are Micro Saison from Noroshi Brewery, Ann from KaruizawaQ, and Ohisama Ale from ISE KADOYA. The 2.5% Micro Saison points to a light, easy-drinking option, while the lineup ranges from saison to aromatic pale ale styles that should sit well with food. The post also mentions a well-received achar made with nukazuke goya, now being kept in rotation with fresh curry leaf.
On the food side, the shop is serving beef curry and duck-and-mung-bean-sprout curry. It is the kind of place where clear, spice-driven dishes and distinctive craft beer can move together naturally, making it a solid stop when both beer and dinner matter.
