Hop BroHimalaya table in Uchikanda, Tokyo, has unveiled its eight taps for March 30. It even includes Brasserie Knot's MOON-DOUBLE IPA, so the lineup is pretty bold.
MugiWait, eight kinds? If I went alone, I'd probably get confused and wander around the counter for like two hours!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is well put together too. ogna Hima Bitter, Y Market Inabu Vintage, Minoh Beer's Blooming IPA, and Baeren Brewery's rye beer give it a really wide range of flavors.
MugiWhat's the difference between a Dortmunder and a rye beer? Just from the names, they all sound like delicious spells to me!
Hop BroA Dortmunder is light and clean, while a rye beer tends to bring out the toasted character of the grain and a slightly spicy edge. In other words, it's a category for enjoying the individuality of the grain.
MugiI see! So something like MOON-DOUBLE IPA is basically all about the hops, right? It sounds like the inside of my mouth would turn into a fireworks show!
Hop BroExactly. A Double IPA brings strong hop aroma and bitterness. Then you add something like ogna's Apple Hop
MugiApple hop? What is that? A beer where apples come first? That's beyond what I expected!
Hop BroThe idea is to layer the nuance of Kogyoku apples over the impression of hops and build another layer of aroma. Himalaya table is good at lining up these distinctive beers, so it makes you want to taste them one by one from the first glass.
MugiNo way, my throat reacted the moment I finished reading! I want to do a tasting in Kanda, and first I'd definitely go for the MOON!
Hop BroThen I'll go with you. Going through Kanda from hop-forward beers to maltier ones would be the best.
MugiNow that's the kind of thing that makes me want to head out right away! So tonight's drink is decided: Himalaya table!
Himalaya table, a beer pub in Uchikanda, Tokyo, is sharing its lineup for Monday, March 30.
The post for the day confirms an eight-beer tap lineup. It includes the anniversary beer "ogna Hima Bitter," the Dortmunder "Y Market Inabu Vintage," "MOON-DOUBLE IPA" from Brasserie Knot, "Blooming IPA" from Minoh Beer, as well as "ogna Apple Hop <Kogyoku>," "Golden Swan Lake Ale," "Baeren Brewery Rye Beer," and "ogna Porter."
Looking just at the styles, it is a wide-ranging combination, from the hop-forward intensity of the Double IPA and IPA to the grain-driven character of the Dortmunder and rye beer, and the calmer, malt-forward drinkability of the porter. There is also a beer that brings out its ingredients more directly, such as the fruit-inflected "Apple Hop <Kogyoku>," making the range for a tasting comparison especially broad.
As a beer pub in Tokyo's Kanda area, Himalaya table's appeal lies in being able to enjoy both staple beers and distinctive selections from domestic breweries at the same counter. The post was published as an announcement for March 30, and if you visit that day, it may be a good idea to work your way from hop-heavy beers to maltier ones.
Even from the lineup of beer names alone, it is clear this is not just a collection assembled to fill eight slots, but a carefully chosen set with a clean spread of flavor directions. If there is a beer that catches your eye, it would be worth checking the tap status and building your tasting order from the first pint at this Kanda beer pub.
