Nakameguro's Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis taps Johana Beer Great Blue and Nara Brewing PERSONA
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro has added Johana Beer’s Great Blue and Nara Brewing’s session IPA PERSONA to its lineup. The beer pub is pairing the pours with a cold cappellini dish featuring corn and prosciutto, keeping its restaurant-style food and standing-bar pricing concept front and center.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis: they’ve just tapped Johana Beer’s “Great Blue” and Nara Brewing’s “PERSONA.”
MugiWhat, two new taps at once? That already sounds fun. And oasis is the place with serious food even though it’s standing-room, right?
Hop BroExactly. Their whole concept is standing plus feast: casual standing-bar prices with dishes that feel like a restaurant.
MugiNo way, cold cappellini at a beer spot? If that showed up in front of me, I’d sit up straight immediately.
Hop BroThis one uses sweet corn puree with thin pasta and prosciutto for salt, so it sounds perfect as a starter pairing with beer.
MugiWait, starter pairing? That sounds smart and expensive. What does it actually mean in normal-person language?
Hop BroIt just means the food and beer make each other taste better. PERSONA is a Session IPA, so it should drink lightly without stomping on the corn’s sweetness.
MugiOkay, but Simcoe and Sabro sound less like hops and more like your secret finishing moves.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: those are hop varieties. PERSONA is a collab Session IPA with Bar Savant, so expect citrus brightness and tropical character.
MugiWow, now I want that already. So where does Great Blue fit into this lineup?
Hop BroThat one’s the classic crowd-pleaser. If you want something for richer food, it sounds like the reliable pour.
MugiSo PERSONA is for easy repeat sips, and Great Blue with food is the move when I want more depth. My Nakameguro walk now has a destination.
Hop BroThat’s the right route. Drop into oasis while it’s still bright out and make it one dish, two beers.
MugiAgreed. I’m fully at pour it now status, starting with the corn cappellini, then PERSONA, then Great Blue.
Craft Beer & Cuisine oasis in Nakameguro has added two new guest beers to its lineup. The beer pub describes its concept as “standing + feast,” offering restaurant-style dishes at standing-bar prices, which makes it an easy stop for a quick beer or a longer meal.
The recommended dish this time is a cold cappellini with corn and prosciutto. Sweet seasonal corn is puréed into the pasta, while the prosciutto brings salt and depth, making it a natural match for beer.
The new beers are:
- Johana Beer ‘Great Blue’
- Nara Brewing ‘PERSONA’ [Session IPA]
Great Blue is presented by the shop as a familiar favorite from Johana Beer. PERSONA, a collaboration with Bar Savant, is described as a light session IPA built around Simcoe and Sabro hops, with grapefruit-like citrus, tropical notes, and an easy-drinking finish. The pair gives drinkers two clear options: a familiar, fuller-flavored beer on one side, and a brisk, hop-forward session IPA on the other.
For beer fans, oasis remains a practical Nakameguro stop where the glass and the plate are meant to work together.
