THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro Taps NOVORU’s Sour Time! and More
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro has tapped two new drinks: NOVORU’s Sour Time! Hyuganatsu ver. hard seltzer and Yamorido’s Makomako NZ Wheat IPA. The lineup also features a broad selection of IPAs, a fruited gose, and a stout.
Hop BroTHE DODO HOUSE in Meguro has two fresh taps on: one from NOVORU and one from Kyoto’s Yamorido. That is a very tempting post-work detour.
MugiWait! A Hyuganatsu hard seltzer? Is it beer, or is it juice? My brain is losing its bubbles!
Hop BroNOVORU’s “SOUR TIME! Hyuganatsu ver.” is a lively hard seltzer fermented with beer yeast, then finished with Hyuganatsu juice from Miyazaki.
MugiFermented with beer yeast? What even is a hard seltzer? It sounds like sparkling water’s mysterious cousin!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is a fermented, sparkling alcoholic drink. This one keeps sweetness low and lets its bright tartness and aroma do the talking—somewhere between beer and sour drinks.
MugiOoh, perfect for a first drink! But the other one, “Makomako,” has a ridiculously cute name!
Hop BroYamorido’s “Makomako” is an NZ Wheat IPA with aromas like melon, orange, and pineapple. It is inspired by New Zealand’s Bellbird; Makomako is its Māori name.
MugiWheat in an IPA too? Does that soft wheat-malt feel matter for someone like me, who is still nervous about bitter beer?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Wheat malt can make the texture softer, helping carry the IPA bitterness and fruit aroma. Think fruitiness meeting bitterness in a friendlier way.
MugiGot it—Makomako is soft and fruity, while SOUR TIME! gives a zippy Hyuganatsu kick! And the blood orange gose is nearly gone? Choosing sounds deliciously difficult!
Hop BroThere are also a Cold IPA, DDH Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, and espresso stout, so you can compare a wide range of styles. THE DODO HOUSE opens at 5 p.m.
MugiThen it is settled: Hyuganatsu first, Makomako next in Meguro! Tonight’s beer mission is set—Hurry, Hop Bro, before I get there ahead of you!
Craft Beer & Wine THE DODO HOUSE in Meguro is introducing two new taps.
The highlight is NOVORU’s Sour Time! Hyuganatsu ver., a hard seltzer fermented with beer yeast and finished with plenty of Hyuganatsu citrus juice from Miyazaki. It offers a gentle citrus aroma, refreshing acidity, restrained sweetness, and a clean finish. Light and crisp, it sits somewhere between beer and a sour-style drink.
Also newly available is Yamorido’s Makomako, an NZ Wheat IPA from Kyoto. Its fruity aroma suggests melon, orange, and pineapple, while a distinctly IPA-like bitterness is softened by the smooth texture of wheat malt. The beer is inspired by the bellbird native to New Zealand; Makomako is the bird’s Māori name.
The tap list also includes KaruizawaQ’s Tochu, open air’s blood orange gose, NAMACHAん’s Hiehie COLD IPA, AFURI BREWING’s DDH HAZY IPA 4.0, BREW CLASSIC’s Let’s La Fuel, and BrewBeast Brewery’s ESPRESSO STOUT. Styles range from fruited gose and Cold IPA to West Coast IPA and stout, offering plenty of variety for a tasting session. The blood orange gose is noted as nearly sold out.
Located in Meguro’s Shimomeguro district, THE DODO HOUSE is a beer pub specializing in craft beer and wine. Its rotating taps make it a natural stop for after-work drinks or for anyone looking to compare different beer styles. Service begins at 5 p.m.
