MugiWait, 18 kinds?! With that many, I'd get drunk just trying to choose!
Hop BroAnd the stars are strong. The IPA "1623," the Porter "Kuroi Jikan," and the Amber Ale "Usubeni no Kuchi Jitsu" really show the range of flavors clearly, which is great.
MugiHold on, what's the difference between an IPA and a Porter? Just the names alone are confusing because they all sound delicious!
Hop BroVery roughly, IPAs tend to emphasize hop aroma and bitterness, while Porters tend to bring out roasted notes and richness. Add in the Belgian Wheat "Mugi no Deai" and the Hazy IPA "Kawasaki Big Biiato Totorae-ru," and the real draw is the tasting comparison.
MugiOhh! So even at the same place, you can enjoy totally different pints. And the names are so quirky, I can't stop thinking about them!
Hop BroThe guest taps are interesting too. From North Alps Brewery’s "Coffee PUNCH" to Kyoto Brewing’s "Ichiishinsen" and Yokohama Beer’s "Yokohama Tsunashima Momo Ale," there’s a cross-regional appeal here.
MugiWait, even a peach ale!? That's basically a beer expo!
Hop BroThey also announced a new tap: Nori'sBeer’s fruity and easy-to-drink American Pale Ale 5%. Since it goes down light, it sounds perfect as a first pint.
MugiThe fact that you can stop by while shopping, and that takeout is OK, makes it even better! I like how casual it is that outside food is allowed too!
Hop BroThe location inside Kawasaki Azalea is great, and it’s perfect for a quick drink before heading to a gathering. They also seem to be running a scratch event, so it really has that easy-to-drop-by appeal.
MugiJust reading about it is making my throat dry! I seriously want to go check out my drink of the day!
Hop BroSo in the end, it’s an 18-tap rabbit hole built around Tokaido BEER’s classics with guest brews pushing things further. This is definitely the kind of place that makes you want more than just one pint in Kawasaki.
MugiYeah, all I can think is that I want to toast right now! Once you learn about a place like this, you absolutely want to go!
