Kanda's Himalaya table lineup for May 21 features Onidensetsu beers and Y.MARKET IPA
Himalaya table, a beer pub in Kanda, Tokyo, has announced its May 21 lineup. Eight beers with very different personalities are on tap, including Kin-oni Pale Ale "ADHA-218 Single Ver.", Baeren's Maibock, and Minoh Beer Pilsner.
Hop BroThe Kanda beer pub Himalaya table has made its May 21 taps pretty interesting. With Onidensetsu's Kin-oni Pale Ale "ADHA-218 Single Ver.", Baeren's Maibock, and even Minoh Beer Pilsner on the list, it's basically a dream set for a tasting showdown.
MugiWait, so that's an 8-beer lineup!? Lager, IPA, and fruit styles all at once at the same place? Isn't that a little too generous!
Hop BroExactly, and it's in a second-floor spot in Kanda, near the west exit of Kanda Station, with no table charge. The best part is that you can just drop in for a drink while snacking on Nepalese food.
MugiHuh! But what's a Maibock? It sounds way too tough. That's not a boxing move, right?
Hop BroNot boxing. It's a dark lager that brings out a fuller malt body. It has real sweetness and depth, and compared with something as crisp as a Pilsner, it goes in the opposite direction, so the difference is really easy to taste when you compare them.
MugiI get it! Then Minoh Beer's classic Pilsner is like the clean, polished overachiever. Having that kind of beer makes the flavor baseline so much easier to understand!
Hop BroExactly. And when you add Y.MARKET BREWING's Hysteric IPA, the hop aroma and bitterness become the star. IPA is a style that puts hops front and center, so the fun is in that punch of citrusy, green, aromatic character.
MugiWhoa, that sounds like a big hop statement! But "ADHA-218 Single Ver." sounds kind of like a research code, and Kin-oni Pale Ale itself sounds powerful too!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is how Onidensetsu Beer's Kin-oni Pale Ale is presented as a Single Ver.. It makes it easier to focus on one personality, so the hop outline comes through clearly, and when you line it up with Aka-oni Red Ale, you can see different expressions from the same brewery.
MugiAnd if there's even Minami Shinshu Beer Ogna's Apple Hop
Hop BroExactly. When you drink with Nepalese food as the partner, the malt sweetness, bitterness, and aroma all stand out properly. Places where you can eat and drink slowly in Kanda are rare, and today has definitely turned into the kind of night where both of us want a glass.
MugiI want to go! A night of beer tasting in Kanda, talking over momo in hand, sounds absolutely perfect.
Himalaya table is a beer pub on the second floor in Kanda, not far from the west exit of Kanda Station. It is a friendly place where you can take your time enjoying craft beer with Nepalese food as a snack, and one of its defining features is that there is no table charge.
The May 21 lineup spans a wide range, from lagers to IPAs and fruit-forward styles. Onidensetsu Beer from Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, has two selections on the list: Kin-oni Pale Ale "ADHA-218 Single Ver." and Aka-oni Red Ale, allowing guests to compare a hop-forward pale ale with a reddish ale. Joining them are Baeren Maibock, Minoh Beer Pilsner, Y.MARKET BREWING Hysteric IPA, Minami Shinshu Beer Ogna Apple Hop <Kogyoku>, and Hima Bitter, creating a lineup that lets you enjoy beers with very different personalities all at once.
The standouts are the Maibock, which makes it easy to appreciate the depth of malt, and the classic Pilsner. By contrast, Hysteric IPA and Kin-oni Pale Ale are for people who want to fully taste hop character, while Apple Hop <Kogyoku> is an easy choice when you want fruit-derived nuances. The strength of Himalaya table is that you can try this kind of diverse tap list alongside Nepalese food. Pair it with dishes like momo or achar, and the aromas, bitterness, and malt sweetness come through even more clearly.
It is the kind of place worth remembering on a day when you want to enjoy craft beer with a meal in Kanda.
