Four Craft Beers Arrive at Kokage Sakaba, and Beef Rump Steak Makes Its Debut
Kokage Sakaba, a beer pub in Jiyugaoka, Tokyo, announced a new craft beer arrival in a post on April 4. In addition to four labels from Y Market, Minami Shinshu Beer, Ise Kadoya, and Shiga Kogen Beer, a daily special of beef rump steak has also been added.
Hop BroThe new arrivals at the Jiyugaoka beer pub, Kokage Sakaba, are pretty interesting. In their April 4 post, they said they got four craft beers and a daily beef rump steak too.
MugiWhat, four beers and meat too!? That's basically a whole list of reasons to drink.
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. They’ve got Y Market's IPA, Minami Shinshu's session beer, Ise Kadoya, and Shiga Kogen, which is an excellent spread.
MugiWhat, IPA and session sound strong just from the names... but what’s the actual difference?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, IPA has a strong hop aroma and bitterness, session is lighter and easier to drink, and blonde styles are gentler and pair well with food.
MugiOhhh! So it’s four bottles you can choose from based on your mood. Nice to be able to split them between a day when you want to go hard and a day when you want to take it easy.
Hop BroWhat’s especially interesting is Ise Kadoya’s Neko Nihiki. The name sounds laid-back, but inside it’s the kind that really brings out hop aroma, and that contrast is unfair.
MugiWait, a cat that’s serious!? I love that contrast - cute on the outside, but with a real punch.
Hop BroAnd since the beef rump steak is described as something that goes great with beer, this is basically a pairing win. Being just 3 minutes from Jiyugaoka Station is a big plus too.
MugiI’m done for, I want to head straight there after work! I want to snack on steak and compare all four beers at Kokage Sakaba!
