Hop BroThe Nishi-Shinjuku beer pub MOONRISE KINGDOM has put together a really good May 10 tap lineup.
MugiWow, even with just three beers, it already sounds so delicious!
Hop BroFirst up is `Tokyo Aleworks`' ITABASHI HEEL LAGER. It's smart to start by settling your palate here.
MugiA lager means light, right? Huh, what do you mean by settling your palate?
Hop BroBasically, it's crisp and easy to drink, so you're ready to move on to the next glass. Then you go to `Nomcraft brewing`'s Moon Calendar, a West Coast IPA, and the hop character starts to stand out.
MugiWhat is that, suddenly so cool! But is hop character like the beer world's version of facial symmetry?
Hop BroPretty much, yes. Then when `BLACK TIDE BREWING`'s Second Breath comes in, it finishes with the satisfying body you'd expect from an IPA.
MugiWow, the flow makes sense! And if firefly squid and wild greens crostini pairs well, that gives such a spring feast vibe!
Hop BroExactly. Dishes like aglio olio, carnitas tacos, and garlic shrimp are great with appetizers, so it's easy to build your drinking plan around them.
MugiAnd if they even have 30 bottle beers, then there's nothing left to do but stay a while!
Hop BroIt's perfect for a slow drinking day in Nishi-Shinjuku. Today is the kind of place that makes you want to head in and relax with food and beer.
The beer pub `MOONRISE KINGDOM`, located on the 1st floor of Sky MURA in Nishi-Shinjuku 6-chome, introduced three tap craft beers as part of its May 10 service. Inside the shop, it is easy to pair food with beer during both lunch and dinner, and the post also noted that 30 bottle beers are available.
The Taps for the Day
- `Tokyo Aleworks`' `ITABASHI HEEL LAGER`
- `Nomcraft brewing`'s `Moon Calendar / West Coast IPA`
- `BLACK TIDE BREWING`'s `Second Breath` (IPA)
Looking at the lineup, it is easy to start with a lager to reset the palate, enjoy the hop profile of the West Coast IPA, and then move on to BLACK TIDE BREWING's IPA. In the post, the firefly squid and wild greens crostini is described as "perfect with craft beer," making this a proposal that puts the compatibility of light appetizers and beer front and center.
The food selection also includes firefly squid and wild greens aglio olio, carnitas tacos, the MOONRISE burrito, garlic shrimp, squid ink pasta, and mascarpone with seasonal fruit and prosciutto, all dishes that pair naturally with beer. It is not a flashy tap takeover, but with three taps and a wide bottle selection as the foundation, the appeal of this place lies in the calm, thoughtful way it lets you build a meal around beer.
This is one spot to keep in mind in Nishi-Shinjuku for days when you want to take your time and enjoy beer with food.
