Taramoa, Guinness, Shiga Kogen IPA, and Vector Brewing Hazy on April 17
On April 17, the Irish pub Taramoa in Yoyogi Park, Tokyo, highlighted its regular Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, Ikari Brewing’s Irish Red -Nitro-, and Vector Brewing’s "Baka Umai Hazy." New food items were also added, making it a lineup you can enjoy well into the night.
Hop BroThe tap lineup at Irish Pub Taramoa in the Yoyogi Park area on April 17 is really interesting. Having Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, and even Vector Brewing’s Hazy all on the same list is such a smart move.
MugiWhoa! You mean Guinness and Hazy are coexisting? That’s a calm pub suddenly putting on a modern face, and my brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroExactly. The strength of Taramoa is that you can enjoy Irish food and pub fare in a warm, wood-filled space. It has that easygoing local feel in Tomigaya, Shibuya, where you can just drop in.
MugiHuh, so what exactly makes a Hazy IPA hazy, Hop? The weather is plenty cloudy already; that should be enough for me!
Hop BroThat’s the thing: cloudiness and juiciness are the defining features. Vector Brewing’s "Baka Umai Hazy" has aromas reminiscent of mango and pineapple, a hint of lime, and bitterness that is nicely integrated, with a clean, easy-drinking finish.
MugiWhat is that, a fruit party? But the name Baka Umai Hazy is so packed with information that it feels like the flavor is already laughing before you even taste it!
Hop BroAnd the classics are strong too. You can enjoy the hop definition of Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, sip the black standard Guinness thoughtfully, and Yebisu is there too, so the range is wide.
MugiWait, what’s nitro pouring? It sounds like a science experiment, like the foam is going to float all the way into space!
Hop BroThat’s a good reaction. When Ikari Brewing’s red is poured on nitro, the fine bubbles make the mouthfeel smoother. It brings out the best in an Irish red in a gentler way.
MugiSo the foam is part of the flavor too! And with three new food items, my stomach would start its own meeting before I even had a drink!
Hop BroWith the fresh tomato and cottage cheese salad, smoked duck, and the salted pork and broad bean pasta, it is the kind of lineup that makes tasting beers unstoppable. It runs from 16:00 to 23:00, so it is perfect for an after-work drink too.
MugiAlright, this is one of those days when just one drink is dangerous. If we start at Taramoa with Guinness and drift into Hazy, we’re definitely the type to quietly say, just one more!
Irish Pub Taramoa in Tomigaya, Shibuya City, Tokyo, is a local beer pub in the Yoyogi-Koen and Yoyogi-Hachiman station area. In a relaxed space with the warmth of wood, its appeal is that you can enjoy not only craft beer but also Irish food and pub fare.
In the April 17 announcement, the draft lineup was laid out in detail. Alongside the staples Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, and Yebisu, Ikari Brewing Irish Red -Nitro- and the guest beer Vector Brewing Baka Umai Hazy were featured.
The standout of the day seems to be the Hazy IPA from Vector Brewing in Asakusabashi. The post describes it as having a tropical impression reminiscent of mango and pineapple, followed by a refreshing lime-like character and a moderate bitterness. It has the juicy feel typical of a hazy beer, while staying crisp on the palate. It is an easy pint to reach for, whether you prefer classics or Hazy styles.
The regular beers include the dark staple Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA with a clearly defined hop profile, and Yebisu. In addition, the Irish Red poured on nitro adds another layer, creating a lineup that combines Irish-pub character with craft beer elements.
On the food side, new items were announced: a Mediterranean-style salad with fresh tomatoes and cottage cheese, a salad with house-smoked duck and Parmigiano, and a pasta with salted pork and broad beans in a butter-Parmigiano sauce. It is a lineup that works just as well for light bites between beers as it does when you want a full meal.
Business hours are 16:00 to 23:00, and the last orders for both food and drinks are also listed. It is a practical tap list that works equally well for dropping in for one drink after work or for spending time comparing a few beers.
