Hop BroThe beer pub CIDER SHACK in Higashi, Shibuya Ward, is doing a 6th-anniversary appreciation week from May 30 to June 7, right? Centering it on the anniversary day, June 1, and changing the presentation day by day is a nice touch.
MugiWait, they're celebrating for that long?! And it's cider-focused instead of beer, which feels a little too stylish, doesn't it?
Hop BroThat's what makes it feel like CIDER SHACK. From May 30 to 31, they're doing a look back at Japanese cider, so you can review the domestic scene while drinking through it.
MugiA review of the cider scene sounds like class all of a sudden! But cider is apple wine, right?
Hop BroExactly, cider is an alcoholic drink made by fermenting apples. This time, the star is Le Vain Vif's 6-year-aged cider, and what's interesting is how the flavor deepens over time.
MugiSix years is a long time! So vintage labels like 2019 mean the flavor changes by year? That's kind of cool, like wine!
Hop BroThat's right. They plan to lineup 2019 vintages of Ao, Mizuiro, and Aka, plus the 2020 vintage, and since they're available only while supplies last, the day's encounter is part of the fun.
MugiWhoa, so the scene changes depending on when you go! And from June 5 to 6, it's Matsumoto Brewery with 6 taps, so the beer crowd is coming in too!
Hop BroExactly. I like that they show off not just cider but also craft beer. A six-tap takeover is a setup where one brewery takes over all the taps in the shop, and it's fun to compare the beers side by side.
MugiI see, like the taps get hijacked! But on May 31, they open at 4:00 p.m. because of a water outage, which feels a little nerve-racking, but that also makes it oddly lovable as a small shop.
Hop BroThat kind of inconvenience is part of the shop's personality too. Including the afterglow of the anniversary week, it's a plan that lets you taste everything that CIDER SHACK is right now, and honestly, it'll make you want more than just one drink.
MugiNow I totally want a drink too! Just having a drink in Shibuya would be great already, but if there's aged cider and Matsumoto Brewery, I'd want to keep going all weekend!
