Hop BroA NOMCRAFT Brewing “Tengu Groove” has arrived at Beer Cafe Ninkasi, the beer pub in Kunitachi. It’s an American Pale Ale, and it’s a very easy-to-use guest beer that pairs well with food.
MugiOh! Even the name Tengu Groove catches my attention! But what kind of beer is an American Pale Ale, really?
Hop BroIn short, its signature is a light, brisk drinking character. It has hop aroma, but it’s not too heavy, so it’s a well-balanced style that works nicely as a first beer.
MugiHmm! But when you say hop aroma, hop suddenly starts sounding like a specialist! I’m still kind of fuzzy on that part!
Hop BroFair point. It’s an ingredient that adds bitterness and aroma, bringing out notes like citrus, grass, and flowers. With Tengu Groove, the highlight is that “easy to drink, but still properly aromatic” feel.
MugiI get it! So a place like Ninkasi, with its small interior, is perfect for calmly checking out the flavor.
Hop BroExactly. With 6 counter seats and 14 table seats, it has a just-right size that makes it easy to focus on the beer. And they also have the perfect snacks to go with it, like french fries and smoked mixed nuts.
MugiWait, smoked mixed nuts sound amazing! That’s definitely the kind of place where one drink won’t end the night!
Hop BroThat’s the point. American Pale Ale goes great with food, so it pairs nicely with taco chips and an olive assortment too. One of its strengths is that it doesn’t get heavy even as you keep drinking.
MugiIt’s nice that you can find guest beers like this in Kunitachi. I’m happy it works for both a casual one-drink day and a day when you really want to drink properly.
Hop BroExactly. NOMCRAFT Brewing’s “Tengu Groove” is a beer worth remembering. So today, let’s head to Ninkasi and go light and lively with a glass in hand.
