MugiWait, a hazy from Nara already sounds tempting. What does it taste like?
Hop BroIt uses Peacharine, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Magnum, so you get this tropical fruit aroma right up front.
MugiWhat is that! Nelson Sauvin sounds like a wizard spell. If I say it out loud, do I become a hop genius?
Hop BroNot quite. It’s a hop that leans white-grape-like, basically one of the stars behind the fruity aroma profile.
MugiOhhh! Then what does soft grain character mean? Is bread about to sprint across the table?
Hop BroThat would be alarming. It means the malt gives a gentle, rounded base, so the beer lands with great overall balance instead of just shouting aroma.
MugiAnd lunch comes with chicken biryani too? That pairing feels almost unfair.
Hop BroThat’s the whole BEER OTAKU SPICE move: beer with biryani or mazesoba, plus easy lunch and night hours from 11:30-14:00 LO and 17:00-23:00 LO.
MugiThat is way too convenient. Being near Akihabara makes it perfect for a casual one-beer stop.
Hop BroWhat really gets me is that Charm isn’t all fireworks; for a Nara hazy, the restrained finish is what makes it stand out.
MugiI’m done talking, I want a glass now. Give me biryani and Charm and let me grin at the aroma.
Nara Brewing's Charm on guest tap
BEER OTAKU SPICE, a beer pub in Taito, Tokyo, has introduced Nara Brewing's "Charm" as a guest beer. In the post, the shop notes its lunch hours as 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. last order, and dinner hours as 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. last order, making it an easy stop from midday through late evening.
Charm is a Hazy IPA brewed with Peacharine, Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Magnum. The post describes it as offering a tropical impression with a soft grainy depth. Rather than chasing extreme intensity, the beer is presented as a well-rounded example of the style, and the shop says it chose the beer because Nara Brewing's hazy releases are relatively uncommon.
BEER OTAKU SPICE pairs craft beer with spice-driven dishes such as biryani and mazesoba. The post also says today's biryani is chicken, which makes the pairing with a hazy IPA especially easy to picture. For beer drinkers who like aromatic beers with food, it looks like a flexible spot for both lunch and night-time drinking.
