MugiWait, the Osaru series? The one with the cute monkey labels? Having three kinds together is enough to make me grin the moment I see them!
Hop BroExactly. It's Papa Zaru Lager, Osaru IPA, and Kozaru IPA from Minoh Beer, and it's the kind of lineup that makes a tasting comparison really fun.
MugiI sort of get lager and IPA, but what even is weizen? That sounds like a spell!
Hop BroIt's a wheat beer, and it tends to feel soft and a little fruity. This time, Mojiko Retro Beer's weizen is included too, so it's become a broad and varied lineup.
MugiOhhh! With Shimanami Brewery's First Lager and Kamado Brewery's Yattokame Ale too, it's like a six-beer journey!
Hop BroExactly. Lager brings crispness, ale brings aroma, and IPA shows off hop character, so the division of flavor roles is really clear in this lineup.
MugiWhat is that! And the food is amazing too. The spring vegetable menu is so packed out that my stomach reacts before the beer does!
Hop BroThere are grilled shabu-shabu with domestic beef, fresh onions, asparagus, white eggplant, spring rolls, tempura, and more, so it pairs really well with seasonal vegetables.
MugiIf they have water eggplant, bamboo shoots, and freshly fried new potato chips too, then I have nothing but reasons to drink! The snacking power is way too strong!
Hop BroWhat's more, the owner even teased My Curry for May 29 and 30, so this definitely gives us a plan for the next visit too.
MugiYeah, I want to toast with the draft beers on May 15 first, and then aim for curry day too! I honestly feel like I want to go drink right now!
