Novel Craft opens at 5 p.m. with chilled soy-milk tantan u-men and eight taps
Novel Craft, a beer pub in Minamikarasuyama, Setagaya, announced a 5 p.m. opening in its August 26 post. The update paired chilled soy-milk tantan u-men with an eight-beer tap list featuring Antelope, OXBOW, Brasserie De la Senne, and Novel Craft Brewing.
Hop BroSouth Karasuyama has a serious after-work temptation today. Novel Craft is opening at 5 PM on August 26 with chilled soy milk tantan u-men and eight taps at the same time.
MugiWhat! Not just beer, but chilled soy milk tantan u-men too? My stomach and my thirst both reacted at once just hearing that name!
Hop BroAnd the noodles are u-men, a specialty from Shiroishi in Miyagi. They are short, so they go down easily. With mellow soy milk and rich tantan flavor, it sounds perfect for hot weather.
MugiWhat even is that! Is u-men a cousin of somen, or some all-star of short noodles?
Hop BroPretty close, but think of it as a shorter noodle that's easier to handle and eat. And on tap they have Antelope's Kiiro, De la Senne's Zinnebir, OXBOW's Dance Language and Space Cowboy, plus Noroshi Brewing's Micro Saison.
MugiHold on, what is a saison? It sounds like a special attack, and names like Dance Language and Space Cowboy are already turning my brain into a festival!
Hop BroA saison is a traditional style that's light, dry, and pleasantly aromatic. So Micro Saison is basically the kind of beer that's easy to gulp down on a warm day.
MugiWhoa, so you get Belgian Zinnebir, American OXBOW, Japanese breweries, and house brews too? That's basically a tasting paradise!
Hop BroThat's the killer part. Novel Craft Brewing is pouring Delay, Dubwise, and Reloop too, so you can line up guest beers and house beers in a full eight-tap lineup.
MugiI want to rush in at 5 PM, slurp the cold noodles, and then work through the beers one by one. This is officially a guaranteed detour now!
Hop BroNow I want a drink too. If I were planning the order, I'd start lighter and finish with the three Novel Craft pours. Still, being torn on the first pint is part of the fun at a place like this.
MugiThat's it, I fully want a drink now! I'm doing a 5 PM opening dash and getting both the noodles and the beer!
