Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku rolled out three domestic draft taps on March 29. Tokyo Aleworks, GORA BREWERY, and Nara brewing all lined up there, which is pretty exciting.
MugiWait, you can drink three brands at once? If I saw that, I'd be curious about all of them before I could even choose!
Hop BroThe lineup is Tokyo Aleworks' Ameyoko Pale Ale, GORA BREWERY's PLANNED CHANCE, and Nara brewing's DAYLONG. And since DAYLONG is a German Pilsner, it's got a really clean finish.
MugiGerman Pilsner means a German-style pilsner, right? Wow, you suddenly sound like a teacher!
Hop BroExactly. In short, it's the kind of beer that's easy to drink and refreshing. On one side you have a DDH IPA that puts hop aroma front and center, while a pilsner has a moderate bitterness and a balanced feel you can keep sipping.
MugiI see! So PLANNED CHANCE's DDH IPA is the one where the hops come rushing in, right? Just hearing the name already makes me feel busy!
Hop BroThat's right. DDH has a strong hop presence, so it's the type that comes at you hard with a big burst of aroma. If you compare it with a pale ale, the same draft beer can show a very different expression.
MugiAnd if the cherry blossoms at Nishi-Shinjuku Central Park are beautiful, then there's no choice but to stop by on the way home from hanami. Spring is unfair!
Hop BroThat's the best part. The food is solid too, with mascarpone topped with seasonal fruit and prosciutto, chicken quesadillas, carnitas burritos, and squid ink pasta, so they really have dishes that pair well with beer.
MugiWait, having everything from appetizers to hearty dishes is amazing! And with 30 kinds of imported craft beer bottles too, I can only see a future where I fall into a drink-comparison rabbit hole!
Hop BroThe hours are convenient too, lunch from 12:00 to 14:30 and dinner from 17:30 to 23:00, so it's perfect for a Sunday drink. Today, I just want to stand in front of the place and say, 'Which one first?' while drinking.
MugiYeah, I'd start with the Ameyoko Pale Ale! But in the end, it's the kind of place where you just want to raise a glass together!
