Hop BroMitaka's Beer Pub Nekotoazarashi rolled out 10 taps for hanami on Sunday, March 28. On a warm day like this, it's nice to be able to stop for a drink on the way home.
MugiWait, you can stop by right after flower viewing? And they even have takeout in plastic cups? That's too convenient!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. From Beer Hearn's Enmusubi Beer Stout to Shiga Kogen Beer's pale ale and Ogna's IPA, it's a lineup where you can enjoy everything from dark beers to hop-aromatic ones in one go.
MugiStout is that dark, heavy kind of beer, right? But if it's called good for side-by-side tasting, I kind of want to try it!
Hop BroExactly. It has the richness of dark malt, but not everything is heavy. For example, Daisen G Beer's Wheat Wine 2023 has a strong barley sweetness, while Mojiko Beer's pilsner is crisp and light by contrast.
MugiThat's a huge difference! I'm curious about Sanktgallen's Whey Sour Ale too - just the name strawberry makes it feel like spring!
Hop BroGood eye. Whey is the liquid byproduct from cheese, and it adds a mellow note to the acidity. There's also a light, rice-based beer like Minamiaizu Mountain Brewing's HEY YA Golden Ale, which is just right for hanami.
MugiRice goes into beer too! And if it's light and easy to drink, it sounds like something you could sip while looking at the cherry blossoms.
Hop BroThey're not skimping on the food either. The post highlights Weizen clam chowder and aka-ten, and the pub really leans into serving 'food that goes with the beer of the day.'
MugiBeing able to choose food to match the beer is the best! Drinking at a small place where you can take your time somehow feels calm, and I like that.
Hop BroAnd they also note that the shop will be closed on March 31, so it's important to check before you go. All right, let's go choose our first beer of spring in Mitaka on the next day off.
MugiLet's go! I'll have the strawberry sour, and Hop bro can take the stout, so let's make sure we enjoy the closing beer of hanami too!
