Hop BroAt MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku, Y.MARKET's Trail Current is being tapped. A new tap going in for dinner service is seriously exciting, isn't it?
MugiWait, what's a New Zealand-Style IPA? Is it like drinking the wind of New Zealand? That's a little too romantic, isn't it?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's an IPA where the hop aroma takes center stage, but this one is the kind that first gives off peach and berry aromas. Then coconut-like notes and citrus layer on top, so it's crisp but still distinctive.
MugiPeach, berries, coconut, citrus... that's a lot of information! But if the bitterness is delicate, does that mean it's easy to drink and not too bitter?
Hop BroExactly. It's not the kind that hits you with bitterness; it has an elegance that even lets you feel the white grape finish. There are also impressions of summer orange and yellow peach, so the layers of aroma are beautiful.
MugiWow, that's definitely the good stuff! And they have seafood ceviche too, which is almost unfair. Seafood and citrus is basically a guaranteed win!
Hop BroThat's exactly it. The horse mackerel and early-season bonito have a spicy kick and acidity, and they pair really well with the IPA's citrusy character. The hop aroma lifts the seafood's umami, and the finish stays clean.
MugiWhoa, and they even have garlic shrimp pasta and BBQ steak tacos? The food-forward pairing is so serious that, even though it's a beer pub, my stomach is going to be busy!
Hop BroOn top of that, they also have 30 domestic and international bottles in the shop. You can start with Trail Current, then if you're in the mood, take a detour to beers from another country or brewery.
MugiBeing able to do that in Nishi-Shinjuku is amazing! The sound of the first floor of Tenkyu MURA also feels special somehow, and it makes me want to go out for a slow drink at night.
Hop BroThey do lunch and dinner, but I'd still want to settle in and enjoy it from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.. The right move is to take it easy and toast with the new IPA and some food.
MugiI've decided, I want to go drink there tonight! Trail Current, ceviche, and then a tour through the bottles after that - it's definitely going to be a great night!
