Hop BroToday's Kanda news is a tap at KARAKURI! On March 18, they're open from 17:00 to 23:00, and Totopia's "Keyphobia" is going on guest tap.
MugiWhoa! That sounds so interesting! What kind of thing is Keyphobia? The name sounds intense!
Hop BroIt's a DDH Hazy IPA made by Totopia in Aichi. Its selling points are a bursting lemonade-like aroma and a grapefruit character!
MugiWhat is that! Is DDH a spell? Do you chant it and get more hops?
Hop BroYou're almost right. What's increasing isn't magic, it's aroma. DDH means extra dry hopping: they add a lot of hops after fermentation to boost the aroma.
MugiOhh! So it's the kind that keeps your nose busy before you even drink it! And with that fresh, juicy mouthfeel, it sounds like something you could keep gulping down.
Hop BroExactly. It's light but has a solid body, with sharp citrus and a subtle grassy note all coming together. The shop has a laid-back atmosphere, so it's perfect for a weekday, right?
MugiThat's the best! There's oden, plus sake and natural wine too, so it's basically a paradise of choices! My wallet is trembling!
Hop BroJust watch the timing: food L.O. is 22:00, fried items and some others at 21:30, and drinks L.O. is 22:30. So yeah, managing the last order is the real game.
MugiGot it, Kanda it is today! First, let's toast with Keyphobia and then sip quietly while soaking in the aroma!
