Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi hosts ICCHY's Kitchen, with Beer Hearn TTO set for late June
Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka held its ICCHY's Kitchen event on June 7. A cook from Gambrinus, a long-running beer bar in Kokubunji, handled the kitchen, and a Beer Hearn tap takeover is scheduled for later in the month.
Hop BroToday’s hot topic is Neko to Azarashi in Mitaka. On June 7 they held their in-house event “ICCHY'S Kitchen,” and a Beer Hearn tap takeover is coming later this month.
MugiWait, Neko to Azarashi? That name already has me hooked! How is a beer pub this cute?
Hop BroThat’s part of the charm. Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi is a nine-seat counter pub where you can enjoy 10 craft beers alongside food pairings.
MugiWhoa, and what exactly is food pairing? Is the beer going on a blind date?
Hop BroBasically it means matching flavors well. You line up dishes like chili beans, house-made nuggets, or ume-vinegar pickles with beers that make them taste even better.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And “ICCHY'S Kitchen” is the event where the Gambrinus chef comes in to cook, right? That’s a full sprint situation.
Hop BroExactly. The chef, known as Icchy, takes over the kitchen for the day. This round sold out a lot of dishes, and the next one is planned for August. But the real cliffhanger is the Beer Hearn TTO.
MugiTTO! There it is, the mysterious spell! Does tap takeover mean the taps get hijacked by beer?
Hop BroThat’s pretty much it. From June 23 to 28, all 10 taps will switch over to Beer Hearn. The individual beer names and styles haven’t been announced yet, but that makes it a great chance to compare a whole lineup.
MugiIt’s three minutes from Mitaka Station South Exit, and from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. there’s a 100-yen happy hour discount? Even my wallet wants a pint now. I seriously want to go drink Beer Hearn with you at the end of the month!
Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi in Mitaka hosted its ICCHY's Kitchen event on June 7. The post thanks guests for coming early and says many items sold out, while also noting that the next edition is planned for August. The kitchen was run by Icchy, a cook from Gambrinus, the long-established beer bar in Kokubunji, so this was clearly a food-driven day for the pub.
The venue is a small beer pub centered around counter seating, with 10 craft beer taps and food designed to pair with whatever is on tap. Its menu includes chili beans, homemade nuggets, potato salad, ume-vinegar pickles, crispy salsiccia spring rolls, and Chinese-style char siu with star anise. A happy hour from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. also makes it easy to drop in for a pint.
Looking ahead, the shop is planning a Beer Hearn tap takeover from June 23 to 28. All 10 taps will switch over to Beer Hearn, and the brewery manager is scheduled to visit on June 27. The post does not list individual beer names, but the late-June lineup should be a good chance to drink through Beer Hearn's beers in one place. With the bar just a three-minute walk from Mitaka Station's south exit, it is an easy stop for both event nights and regular visits.
