Hop BroFor an after-work beer in Ichigaya, brew lounge Ichigaya is calling my name. They pour six house-brewed beers and pair them with proper Italian food.
MugiWhat? Six house-brewed beers? If we start a tasting flight, I might completely forget which train goes home!
Hop BroThe lineup includes Ichigaya Pale Ale, Bancho IPA, Chiyoda Weizen, Kojimachi Red Ale, Wasabi Saison, and Belgian IPA—from classics to wild cards.
MugiWeizen and saison sound like magic spells! What is Chiyoda Weizen actually like?
Hop BroA weizen is a German-style wheat beer with a soft, smooth feel. It can show banana-like aromas, and its gentle bitterness makes it an easy first glass.
MugiOoh, banana-like sounds friendly! I want to start there, then move on to the Ichigaya Pale Ale.
Hop BroThat is a great progression. When you want more hop character, try Bancho IPA or Belgian IPA. IPA highlights hop aroma and bitterness, and Bancho IPA's hop punch should deliver.
MugiSo IPA is about aroma as well as bitterness? My taste buds may let out a tiny dramatic scream!
Hop BroItalian dishes make an excellent backup crew. Pale ale or red ale suits the house-made sausage, while the oyster and Kujo-negi ajillo could shine with the fresh Wasabi Saison.
MugiOyster ajillo with a Wasabi Saison? That sounds daring, but suddenly genius! I want to try all six through food and beer pairings.
Hop BroWith counter seats, sofas, and private rooms, it is relaxed enough for sharing food and samples with friends. It is an easy after-work stop in Kudan-kita.
MugiDone! We will check the hours and tap list, then toast in Ichigaya. I will start with weizen, you start with Bancho IPA—the six-beer tasting begins!
