Hop BroKitasenju is lively today because Sakazuki Brewing tapped a fresh batch of its hazy IPA Stardust on July 15.
MugiWait, a new Stardust batch already sounds sparkly! Is hazy IPA the juicy cloudy kind?
Hop BroPretty much, it's a cloudy IPA style built around NZ hops and other tropical hops, so the aroma comes in soft and flashy.
MugiWhoa, but dry hopping sounds like something a science club would yell before an explosion!?
Hop BroIt just means adding hops after fermentation so you boost aroma more than bitterness, which is the neat trick here.
MugiOkay, beer perfume, got it! And switching the yeast made it finish a little drier too? That sounds dangerously easy to drink.
Hop BroThat's the fun part, and the pub matched it with a summer pairing of white peach, prosciutto, shira-ae, and roasted walnuts.
MugiPeach, ham, tofu dressing, walnuts... that's a very busy plate and somehow it still sounds elegant instead of chaotic!
Hop BroBecause the fruit sweetness, salt, and creaminess stack onto Stardust's tropical aroma, you get that beer-and-food harmony Sakazuki Brewing really leans into. They also had 14 taps that day.
MugiFourteen choices? 14 beers on tap is how I become a happy little lost tourist.
Hop BroStart with something lighter like a Bohemian pilsner, then land on Stardust for the finale and the whole lineup makes sense.
MugiThat settles it, this is pure I need a glass energy. Give me the peach dish and a hazy pint right now!
Sakaduki Brewing, the brewpub in Kitasenju, Adachi Ward, has long emphasized beer and food pairing. On July 15, the tap list welcomed a new batch of `Stardust`, a hazy IPA that had not appeared since January.
`Stardust` is brewed with New Zealand hops at the core, combined with a range of tropical hop varieties and dry-hopped for aroma. The brewery notes that a change in yeast made the beer finish a little drier than expected. With its return, the team framed the day as a summer pairing session centered on seasonal food.
The tap list featured 14 beers in total. Alongside `Stardust`, the lineup included a Bohemian pilsner called `shy girl`, an American pale ale, a sake-yeast beer, a saison, a German schwarzbier, a brown ale, and a milk stout. The selection moved from crisp and light styles to darker, roast-driven beers, showing the brewery’s broad range.
For the food pairing, Sakaduki Brewing served a shiraae dish with two kinds of white peach and prosciutto, finished with roasted walnuts. The idea was to match the tropical hop character of `Stardust` with fruit sweetness, saltiness, and a creamy texture. It was a straightforward example of the brewery’s food-first approach, using beer and a seasonal plate together rather than treating either as an afterthought.
