Kazanori Merry Announces Six Recently Tapped Beers in an April 25 Post
In a Saturday, April 25 post, Kazanori Merry introduced six of the "recently tapped beers" at its Roppongi location. The lineup includes Topa Topa, Faction, Ise Kadoya Beer, Oni Densetsu, and others, making it a selection that pairs well with spicy cuisine.
Hop BroThe "recently tapped" lineup at Kazanori Merry in Roppongi is interesting because six beers all showed up at once in the April 25 post.
MugiWhat! Six different beers? That's the kind of lineup where you can't even decide what to order!
Hop BroThis time's roster is a mixed team with American breweries like Topa Topa and Faction, plus Ise Kadoya Beer and Oni Densetsu.
MugiNo way! With IPA and saison and all that, the style range is so wide I wouldn't know where to start!
Hop BroIf you want to focus on the hop character first, "Blue Heaven IPA" and "All In IPA -Columbus-" make it easy to tell.
MugiColumbus, like the city? Or some kind of spell? It sounds like a hop name, but my head is already floating!
Hop BroExactly. Here, the name of the Columbus hop is doing the work. It tends to bring out citrus and a sharp bitterness, which gives it that American craft feel.
MugiOhhh, then a side-by-side with the domestic "Golden Dragon" and "Shin Asahioni IPA" would make the differences even clearer!
Hop BroThat's exactly the fun part. The strength of this lineup is being able to compare even the citrus and fermentation-driven nuances.
MugiAnd in a basement in Roppongi, pairing it with spicy food sounds amazing! If there's curry, I'm definitely in!
Hop BroThe weekend-only curry plate is really solid too, and it's nice that you can slot it in between beers. There's even Spanish mackerel curry and soybean flour and green onion pancake, so the snack range is broad.
MugiWow, if I can do both beer tasting and a meal, I want to go right now. Let's toast with draft beer tonight!
The Roppongi beer pub Kazanori Merry introduced its current "recently tapped beers" in a Saturday, April 25 post. At the time of the post, business hours were 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Inside the basement-level space, guests can enjoy draft craft beer alongside dishes made with spices and fermented ingredients.
This time, the lineup brings together six beers that mix American breweries with popular domestic breweries.
- Topa Topa Brewing Company "Blue Heaven IPA"
- Faction Brewing Company "All In IPA -Columbus-"
- Ushitora Brewery "Litchin-Gale"
- Noroshi Brewing "Yuzu Saison"
- Ise Kadoya Beer "Golden Dragon"
- Noboribetsu Beer Oni Densetsu "Shin Asahioni IPA"
With a range that spans IPA, saison, and fruit-driven beers, the selection suits both people who want to trace hop character and those who want to enjoy citrus and fermentation-derived nuances. In particular, "Blue Heaven IPA" and "All In IPA -Columbus-" should offer the crisp drinking impression typical of American craft beer, and comparing them with the domestic "Golden Dragon" and "Shin Asahioni IPA" would be interesting.
The post also noted that even after the collaboration service from HOPMAN x Taiyo Sakaba x Kazanori Merry, some items from the menus at both shops will remain available. The weekend-only curry plate includes Spanish mackerel curry, pork skirt steak curry, tomato-marjoram salad, soybean flour and green onion pancake, kale and rapeseed greens saag, and red cabbage achar, making it easy to fit food in between beers.
For a day when you want to enjoy draft craft beer in Roppongi along with food pairings, this is one spot worth checking out for its wide range of choices.
