Irish Pub Taramoa to Serve Shiga Kogen IPA and Minoh BLOOMING IPA on 3/31
The Irish pub "Taramoa" in Tomigaya, Tokyo, has released its tap list for Tuesday, March 31. In addition to three regular beers, the lineup includes Ikari Brewing's Irish Red and Minoh Beer’s BLOOMING IPA, creating a setup where you can enjoy a springlike pint alongside seasonal dishes.
Hop BroTaramoa, the Irish pub in Tomigaya, is running a spring tap festival on Tuesday, March 31, from 16:00 to 23:00. Having Guinness, Shiga Kogen IPA, Yebisu, and guest beers all lined up is seriously exciting.
MugiWait, even the regulars are already impressive, and they’ve got great guest beers too! If I went after work, I’d probably be tipsy before I even decided what to order!
Hop BroThe one to watch is Minoh Beer’s BLOOMING IPA. Since it’s a Belgian IPA, it combines the spicy, floral character of Belgian yeast with citrus and tropical notes.
MugiBelgian yeast? That sounds like a sudden jump into expert territory, but does the character of the yeast really make that much of a difference?
Hop BroIt really does. Yeast creates aroma during fermentation, so BLOOMING IPA is designed to lean toward a spring feel inspired by full-bloom cherry blossoms, while keeping the bitterness restrained.
MugiOhh, I see! So Ikari Brewing’s Irish Red -Nitro- is also one of those beers with fine, creamy foam?
Hop BroExactly. It’s poured with nitrogen gas, so the mouthfeel turns creamy. Pair that with Guinness, and the Irish character really comes through.
MugiWow, and on top of that there’s Shiga Kogen IPA too! This is way too much of a drink-compare paradise to go home after just one pint!
Hop BroThe food is solid too. There are oyster fritters, asparagus, bacon, and egg pizza, and chicken and okra curry, plus onion achar on the side.
MugiWhoa, that’s not even a pub anymore, it’s basically a bundle of happiness. Whether you’re coming back from hanami or just stopping by on a weekday, it makes you want to go out for a spring pint!
Hop BroIt’s nice that it’s easy to drop by near Yoyogi Park too. Tonight, let’s head to Taramoa and go for the regulars and the limited beers together.
MugiAgreed! I’m starting with the BLOOMING IPA! You can tell I’ve got a right now I want a drink face, can’t you?
Tuesday, March 31 draft lineup
At Irish Pub Taramoa, located on the first floor of the Yoyogi Park Building in Tomigaya, Tokyo, the bar will be open on Tuesday, March 31, from 16:00 to 23:00. The draft selection combines regulars and guest beers, making it an easy lineup for beer lovers to compare styles.
- Regular Beers
- Guinness
- Shiga Kogen Beer IPA (SHIGA KOGEN BEER IPA / Nagano, JAPAN)
- Yebisu
- Today's English Style Ale -Nitro-
- Ikari Brewing Irish Red -Nitro- (Tokyo)
- Today's Guest Beer
- Minoh Beer BLOOMING IPA (MINOH BEER BLOOMING IPA / Osaka, JAPAN)
The highlight this time is Minoh Beer’s BLOOMING IPA. It is a Belgian-style IPA designed with spicy and floral notes from Belgian yeast, layered with the citrus and tropical fruit character of American hops. While it uses hops generously, the bitterness is kept moderate, and it is being presented as a spring-friendly beer inspired by full-bloom cherry blossoms.
Taramoa will continue regular service on Tuesday, following a weekend that was lively with people returning from cherry-blossom viewing. If the dining room is full, they also suggest enjoying a drink at the outdoor approach. In the calm atmosphere of an Irish pub, trying BLOOMING IPA alongside Guinness and Shiga Kogen IPA should make the differences in style stand out even more clearly.
On the food side, oyster fritters are back, and asparagus, bacon, and egg pizza and chicken and okra curry are also on the menu. The curry comes with the owner's special onion achar. It is a day built around beer, with pub-style snacks and meals to match.
The opening hours also make it easy for people in the Yoyogi Park and Yoyogi-Hachiman area to stop in for just one drink on the way home from work. For anyone who wants to enjoy both a spring limited tap and the regular draft lineup, this is a night worth marking down.
