Hop BroAt Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka, Sachihop Session IPA has been tapped. The bar is open from 17:00 to 23:00 on May 21, and it has that nice feel of being able to drop in on a rainy day.
MugiWhat! A drink on a rainy day is basically the whole "recover with beer" thing, right? Even the name Nekotoazarashi sounds soothing!
Hop BroAnd this one uses New Sachihop Golden from Ushitora Brewery. It includes part of the beer barley bred in Tochigi Prefecture, giving it a light, easy-to-drink finish.
MugiSeriously? New Sachihop Golden sounds like golden bread to me already. Does the barley variety really change the taste?
Hop BroIt does. Here, that leads to a drinkable session IPA with a solid hop aroma, but without feeling too heavy. So it stays approachable even on your second or third glass.
MugiWhoa! Light but aromatic is the most dangerous kind, isn't it? I can already see the future where the glass is empty before I notice!
Hop BroThe tap list is interesting too. It ranges from fruit sour to stout, with everything from Romantic Village's Tochigi Berry Berry Sour to Oyamag B Beer's stout on offer.
MugiWhoa, that's such a spread! This is what a beer tasting paradise looks like. Sour to sharpen things up, then stout to finish it off - that's too good!
Hop BroThe food is strong too. They have a quiche-style omelet with asparagus and salmon, quail egg marinated in ajitama style, and even Chinese-style char siu, so you can take your time while snacking.
MugiThat's a lineup that makes beer flow. A street-level shop in Mitaka where you eat, drink, and talk until you suddenly realize the night is over!
Hop BroThere's also a stronger pour like Shiga Kogen's Kind of Gold, and even Iwatekura's Almost Cider, so the nice part is you can choose based on your mood. Just note that the shop is closed on May 25.
MugiGot it! I'll make tonight's drink Sachihop, and if I have room, maybe a sour too... I'm already thinking about the next glass before I've even started!
