MOONRISE KINGDOM Restocks OHLOY Brewing's Riso on June 18
MOONRISE KINGDOM in Nishi-Shinjuku announced its June 18 service, led by a restock of OHLOY Brewing's "Riso, Japanese Rice Lager w/ Hassaku" from Kagawa. IPA, Dark Lager, and Pale Ale were also added, alongside a broad craft beer lineup that pairs naturally with the pub's food.
Hop BroFor June 18, the big topic is MOONRISE KINGDOM. In Nishi-Shinjuku, they restocked OHLOY brewing's "Riso, Japanese Rice Lager w/ Hassaku" again, and added an IPA, Dark Lager, and Pale Ale too.
MugiWait, restocked again means it's that popular? And Riso sounds cute, but "Japanese Rice Lager w/ Hassaku" suddenly feels like a pop quiz!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A Japanese Rice Lager uses rice for a lighter body, and the hassaku adds a fruity citrus aroma, so it drinks super smoothly.
MugiOoh! But what does good with meals actually mean? I am fully the type to attack the tacos before I even sip.
Hop BroIt means a beer that keeps working alongside food. Since the place does Mexican-Italian dishes, Riso should click with tacos, birria, and ceviche thanks to that light body and citrus edge.
MugiSo this is a fish taco beer? If the hassaku keeps it bright, I can already hear myself saying, "one more" by accident.
Hop BroAnd it's not just Riso. It's basically an OHLOY showcase with IPA, Dark Lager, and Pale Ale added too, so you can move from crisp to rich without getting lost.
MugiHold on, what's the Dark Lager mystery? It's dark, but also lager? That sounds like a beer with a secret identity.
Hop BroFair question. Dark Lager gives you roasty malt flavor, but lager yeast keeps the finish clean. Pair that with squid ink pasta and suddenly the night gets longer.
MugiLunch is 12:00 to 14:30, dinner is 17:30 to 23:00, and there are 30 bottled beers too, so start with Riso and decide the second round later sounds perfect.
Hop BroExactly. It's easy to drop in before or after work, and a pint in Nishi-Shinjuku is sounding dangerously right to me now. I'm absolutely starting with Riso.
