MOONRISE KINGDOM, a beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, introduced BLACKTIDE brewing’s Days Over in its July 21 service post. The beer is described as fruity and citrus-forward, with dank and pine notes and a crisp, dry finish suited to summer drinking.
Hop BroAt MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku, today's topic is Days Over on tap. It's a summer-ready guest beer from BLACKTIDE brewing, and it sounds seriously good.
MugiWait! With a name like MOONRISE KINGDOM, I totally thought it was their house beer. So this is a guest beer feature?
Hop BroExactly. MOONRISE KINGDOM is the beer pub in Tenku MURA 1F, and the beer they brought in is BLACKTIDE brewing's Days Over.
MugiOkay, but Nelson Sauvin and Motueka sounds less like beer and more like a wizard duel.
Hop BroThose are hop varieties. They're from New Zealand, and they're great for building citrusy, vivid aromas in a NZ-hop driven beer.
MugiGot it! But the article also said dank and pine notes. What is that, drinking in a forest after rain?
Hop BroHonestly, not a bad image. Dank means a deeper resinous aroma, pine is that green conifer vibe, but the finish is dry and snappy, so it doesn't drink heavy.
MugiBig aroma but still crushable? Now I get why they called it perfect for hot days.
Hop BroAnd the food lineup helps. Fresh fish ceviche, fish tacos, and cold capellini should be an easy match with that citrusy lift.
MugiPlum bruschetta, green curry, carnitas tacos too? That's full summer mode. My stomach has already clocked in.
Hop BroThe place also has three domestic draft craft beers and thirty domestic and imported bottles, so the range is strong. Even so, Days Over feels like the obvious first pour.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want Days Over with ceviche or tacos so badly that before Sunday, I'm ready for a dash to Nishi-Shinjuku.

MOONRISE KINGDOM, a beer pub in Nishi-Shinjuku, featured BLACKTIDE brewing’s “Days Over” in its July 21 service post. The venue also noted that it will be open through Sunday this week, making the beer part of its current summer lineup.
What you can drink
Days Over is described as a New Zealand hop-driven beer built around Nelson Sauvin and Motueka. According to the post, it offers fruity citrus character along with dank and pine notes, while staying crisp and refreshing. It is the kind of guest beer that fits hot-weather drinking: aromatic, clean, and dry on the finish.
Food pairing angle
The pub emphasizes seasonal dishes alongside beer. On this day, the recommended items included fresh fish ceviche, plum bruschetta, fish tacos, carnitas tacos, MOONRISE burrito, green curry, and cold capellini pasta. The citrus profile of Days Over should work especially well with ceviche and tacos, while its dry finish makes it easy to pair with a full meal rather than a single snack.
About the venue
MOONRISE KINGDOM is located on the first floor of Tenku MURA in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. The post also notes that the bar keeps three domestic draft craft beers and 30 bottles from Japan and abroad on hand, so the selection goes beyond the guest tap of the day. It is a beer bar built for both drinking and dining, with a menu that leans into pairings rather than treating beer and food separately.
Bottom line
The headline beer here is BLACKTIDE brewing’s Days Over. With its citrus, hop character, and dry finish, it looks like a strong summer guest pour for MOONRISE KINGDOM’s food-friendly beer program.
