Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku is announcing its May 24 dinner service. On top of three domestic taps, it will have 30 overseas craft bottles lined up, so it sounds like a pretty aggressive night.
MugiWait, 30 bottle beers is too many!? I feel drunk before even looking at the menu, so how am I supposed to choose!
Hop BroI’d recommend Himitsu Beer, ohloy brewing, and vertere. Even if you focus on bottles, it’s nice that there’s still plenty of fun in choosing based on how each one stands out.
MugiSeriously, what do you mean by how they stand out? Can I just decide based on whether the label is cute?
Hop BroOf course instinct matters too, but it’s easier not to get lost if you look at aroma, bitterness, and body. For example, with an IPA or pilsner, it’s easy to imagine how it will pair with the food.
MugiOhh! Then what goes with the firefly squid aglio e olio? That kind of stylish dish must shine even more with beer.
Hop BroAs the pairing suggestion says, an IPA or pilsner sounds pretty great. The bitterness or crisp finish will tie together the firefly squid’s umami, the karasumi’s saltiness, and the aroma of the early-summer vegetables.
MugiWow, there are so many beer-pub-style dishes I can’t choose! The hamachi Mexican ceviche, burritos, and tacos all feel like they’re calling for beer!
Hop BroAnd the hours are easy to use too: lunch from 12:00 to 14:30, and dinner from 17:30 to 23:00. It looks like they were fully booked the night before, so having reservations and takeout is appreciated.
MugiI can’t take it, this is too perfect as tonight’s spot. I’m going to go all in from the first drink so I can make it all the way to the red melon mascarpone!
