Hop BroKokage Sakaba in Jiyugaoka has a pretty interesting new draft today. The daily special is salmon and mitsuba carpaccio plus fried Japanese sardines with lemon, and Kunitachi Brewery’s "Tamaranzaka Hazy IPA" is set to be tapped soon.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Hazy IPA already sounds rich! And "Tamaranzaka" is such a curious name too. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThat’s the thing: a Hazy IPA is known for being fruity and satisfying. It has a cloudy appearance, with hop aroma packed in tightly, so it’s the kind of beer you enjoy for its juicy character.
MugiHuh, but why make it cloudy on purpose? I feel like clear beer would look nicer!
Hop BroGood question. When hop and malt components combine, the beer can take on that hazy look intentionally. And compared with a clearer beer, the aroma depth and softer mouthfeel tend to stand out more.
MugiI see! So this time the star is that depth of aroma. It sounds like it would go great with carpaccio or lemon fried chicken, and now I’m getting hungry!
Hop BroExactly. The citrusy hop character should complement the lightness of the salmon and mitsuba, and the balance of acidity and bitterness should work nicely with the fried sardines with lemon.
MugiWait, it even works with fried food? And if there are daily dishes too, then the first drink already feels like a win!
Hop BroKokage Sakaba is a beer pub on the second floor at 2-15-6 Jiyugaoka, and its strength is the combination of daily dishes and draft beer. The nice part is that you can eat while choosing a beer that fits the day.
MugiI like places like that because they feel like they have something to look forward to each day. Today, I’m already in the mood to snack on a dish while waiting for Tamaranzaka Hazy IPA!
Hop BroThen the conclusion is that if you’re having a drink in Jiyugaoka, this is a strong choice. Once the Hazy IPA is tapped, you’ll want to work your way from the carpaccio to the fried food and end up clinking glasses together.
MugiIt’s settled! As soon as it’s tapped, I want to drink it right away and enjoy the aroma and the food all at once! I’m completely in Kokage Sakaba mode today!
