NEIGHBOR in Nogata Taps New Beers from Minami Shinshu and Ise Kadoya
Nogata beer pub NEIGHBOR has added Minami Shinshu Beer’s 30th PaleAle and Ise Kadoya Beer’s Jungle Fantasy to its tap list. The pub is also pairing its craft beer lineup with a limited Japanese-style seafood menu from September 19 to 23.
Hop BroNEIGHBOR, the beer pub in Nogata, has two new taps pouring! Shall we start with Minami Shinshu Beer or Isekadoya Brewery?
MugiWhat? I can’t choose! Is Minami Shinshu Beer’s 30th PaleAle a commemorative beer?
Hop BroExactly—it's for their 30th anniversary! It’s a 5% American Pale Ale with citrus aroma and gentle bitterness, beautifully balanced.
MugiDoesn’t pale ale sound too bitter for a beginner? If it’s light and easy-drinking, maybe I can handle it!
Hop BroAbsolutely. Its gentle malt character supports the bitterness, making it a beautifully balanced pour—far more peaceful than biting a grapefruit.
MugiI want that peaceful grapefruit! And Isekadoya Brewery’s Jungle Fantasy sounds wonderfully wild!
Hop BroIt’s a 6.5% hazy IPA, pale gold and cloudy, a banana-aromatic hazy IPA. You’ll find mango, peach, white grape, and berry notes too.
MugiWait, is this beer or a fruit stand?! And does “hazy” mean a cloudy-looking beer?
Hop BroThat’s right. “Hazy” means cloudy; yeast and wheat components remain in the beer, often giving it a soft, rounded mouthfeel.
MugiWow! NEIGHBOR has eight taps too, with everything from golden ale to fruit sour—a wide range of styles!
Hop BroThere’s MIURA GOLDEN ALE and MISAKI MAGURO AMBER from Miura Brewery, plus KANEKU BREWERY’s Weizen. From September 19 to 23, there’s also limited Japanese seafood dishes.
MugiReturning bonito carpaccio, oysters, and charcoal-grilled octopus too?! Beer-and-seafood pairing means we have to race to Nogata!
NEIGHBOR, a craft beer pub in Nogata, Tokyo, has announced two new tap additions.
Minami Shinshu Beer’s 30th PaleAle is a 5% American Pale Ale celebrating the brewery’s 30th anniversary. It offers fresh citrus aromas, moderate bitterness, and a gentle malt character in a light, approachable profile.
Ise Kadoya Beer’s Jungle Fantasy is a 6.5% Hazy IPA with a cloudy light-gold appearance. Banana esters lead into layers of mango, peach, white grape, and berry, while wheat contributes a full and soft mouthfeel.
The current lineup also includes MIURA GOLDEN ALE and MISAKI MAGURO AMBER from Miura Brewery, Weizen from KANEKU BREWERY, FEEL SO FREE from GAMEBREW, and FLORALIA from FLORA FERMENTATION. The selection spans golden ale, amber ale, wheat beer, fruit sour ale, and fresh hop IPA.
