New tap at SEKIYA TAP STAND: Kölsch Style 'Immer da' debuts
The beer pub SEKIYA TAP STAND in Kunitachi, Tokyo, updated its tapping information on March 25. It has started serving a new Kölsch Style beer, 'Immer da -Imaa Daa-'. A collaboration with Komuro Beer from Jiyugaoka, it is a pour aimed at delicacy and easy drinkability.
Hop BroAt SEKIYA TAP STAND, right by the south exit of Kunitachi Station, a new keg has been tapped for the guest lineup. This time it's a Kölsch Style beer called 'Immer da -Imaa Daa-,' and I'm really curious about its light, springlike character.
MugiWait! The name Imaa Daa sounds cute, like it's always going to be there! But what's Kölsch? Is that a type of beer?
Hop BroExactly. Kölsch Style is a traditional style from around Cologne, Germany. It has the softness of top fermentation, but it looks and drinks clean and can aim for the crispness of a lager.
MugiOhh! But when you say 'top fermentation,' it suddenly sounds like science class! Is it like a beer that has a soft, fragrant aroma?
Hop BroPretty close. This 'Immer da' is designed with apple-green esters, delicate floral notes, and a faint honey-like malt character layered together. It's a collaboration with Komuro Beer from Jiyugaoka, so it's the kind of beer that isn't flashy, but still leaves an impression.
MugiWhat? Having flowers and apples coexist sounds like something that has to be delicious! But esters is suddenly a hard word!
Hop BroEsters are aroma compounds created during fermentation. They can give off fruity notes like green apple, and this beer's key point is its light body, gentle bitterness that carries through, and dry finish.
MugiI see, so because it's light and dry, you can just keep drinking it. It seems like it would go well with food too, and it's perfect for drinking while chatting!
Hop BroExactly. SEKIYA TAP STAND is a beer pub run by the liquor shop Sekiya, and one of its charms is how close it stays to the local brewery scene. It really feels like a beer that fits into everyday life in Kunitachi.
MugiAnd it's only a one-minute walk from the station, so it's the kind of place that just pulls you in on the way home from work! If it's open until 8:00 p.m., I feel like I might be able to stop by today...
Hop BroThat's right. There's also talk of weekend kaku-uchi during cherry blossom season, so it seems like a great choice as one of the beers you want to drink now in spring Kunitachi. This is getting to the point where both I and Mugi want to have a drink.
MugiYeah, I want to toast in spring Kunitachi! Kölsch's gentleness really fits my mood right now, and if I drink this, I feel like the conversation could go on for another round!
