MugiWait, two bitter-style beers!? That feels like a full-on "grown-up bitterness" session all at once, and it even makes me sit up straighter a little!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. "Nama Bitter" is being introduced as the main newly tapped beer, while "Smoke Bitter" is described as smooth and easy to drink. They have clear bitterness, but they're not just sharp and edgy.
MugiI get the smooth and easy-to-drink part, but what's with the smoke part!? Wait, does that mean it smells like smoked food? Is the beer suddenly turning into a barbecue venue?
Hop BroThat's pretty much the idea. When you add a smoky aroma, it brings out toastiness and depth, so when it's combined with bitter flavors, you get something that's "calm but never boring."
MugiOhhh! So maybe Nama Bitter is for people who enjoy bitterness, and Smoke Bitter is for people who want to enjoy aroma too. Both sound tempting, that's unfair!
Hop BroExactly. And since Kura also has that easygoing cafe-like feel, even beer pub beginners don't have to be too guarded. Being in Honkomagome, Bunkyo-ku, with easy access from the Rikugien area, is a strong point too.
MugiWhat, that's amazing if you can stop by after a Rikugien area stroll! Take a walk, drink beer, and suddenly feel like someone who has mastered their weekend!
Hop BroAnd this post clearly tells you that service starts at 2:00 p.m., which is really helpful. If you aim for that time, it's easier to catch the guest beer rotation and miss fewer pours.
MugiI definitely want to go now! I'm torn between Nama Bitter and Smoke Bitter for my drink of the day, and if I can have both, that'd be perfect. I'm already in the mood for bitter beer!
