Nekonoshuukaijo in Umegaoka taps RiCE LAGER and five more beers
Craft beer and spice food bar Nekonoshuukaijo in Umegaoka, Setagaya, has posted a new tap list featuring RiCE LAGER and five other beers. The update also highlights its soy-marinated pork shoulder char siu and a June happy hour offer.
Hop BroUmegaoka's Neko no Shuukaijo just dropped a seriously good tap list. RiCE LAGER leads six taps that make you want to swing by before dinner.
MugiWait, RiCE LAGER means a rice lager? That name already sounds dangerously snack-compatible!
Hop BroExactly. It's a CRAFTROCK collab brewed for RiCE magazine, and it's a food-friendly lager with a clean, easy profile.
MugiOkay, and a place built on beer and spice food already has my full attention. What else is pouring?
Hop BroPirono Helles, AJB's Foeder Sour Vintage 2024, Shiga Kogen's KASUMI, WCB x Inkhorn's Super Fresh, and NOMCRAFT's Moon Calendar, so the style range is wild.
MugiHold on, what is Helles? A beer spell? Do I say it three times and another pint appears?
Hop BroClose, but no magic. Helles is a pale German lager built to be super easy to drink, while a Hazy DIPA comes in bigger on aroma and body.
MugiOhh, then Foeder Sour sounds like barrel-raised tang or something fancy and slightly intimidating.
Hop BroThat's basically it. A foeder is a huge wooden vessel, and Moon Calendar's West Coast IPA brings that snappy bitterness to finish things off.
MugiSo you can go from light to intense, and then there's pork shoulder chashu too? Yeah, one drink was never the plan.
Hop BroAnd weekdays from 3 to 7 p.m. there's a June happy hour with 10% off draft beer. Drink in or take it to go in a cup, no bad choices.
MugiThen we're meeting in Umegaoka. RiCE LAGER first, or KASUMI if I want something hazy... I want a pint now.
