GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS Taps Shiga Kogen Beer 'KASUMI'
The Kameido beer pub GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS announced Shiga Kogen Beer's "KASUMI" as a new tap in a post on May 21. It is a drink to enjoy alongside the shop's signature fish and chips at this small, counter-focused bar.
Hop BroGRANDPA FISH & CHIPS in Kameido has opened Shiga Kogen Beer's KASUMI as a new tap. At a shop that champions fish and chips, this one is a pretty great match.
MugiWhoa! The name alone already sounds delicious, and now they're strong on fish and chips and beer too? That's almost unfair! So what kind of beer is KASUMI?
Hop BroKASUMI has the appeal of a so-called hazy-style beer. The post even added "nigonigo," hinting at a cloudy look and a beer that opens up with lots of aroma.
MugiHuh, "nigonigo" sounds a little worrying, though, doesn't it? It's not like beer has to be clear, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the source of the haze is ingredients from the yeast and malt, and it also helps catch the hop aroma. That distinct look often connects directly to a fuller mouthfeel.
MugiI see! And with a small, counter-centered shop, it sounds easy to drop in alone. Near Kameido Station, that vibe is pretty much my favorite!
Hop BroAnd because it's a 5-tap operation, you can drink while looking over the day's lineup. Pair freshly fried fish and chips with a hop-forward beer like KASUMI, and the greasiness gets cut cleanly for a really satisfying combo.
MugiThat sounds like the perfect after-work drink, doesn't it? At this point I want to walk over with beer and fries in mind!
Hop BroIn the May 21 post, TAP1 was off, but that just meant KASUMI stepped in and changed the tap lineup's character. Following those small changes is part of the fun of craft beer.
MugiI can't take it anymore, I want to wait for freshly fried food! If I drink KASUMI at GRANDPA FISH & CHIPS, I'm sure even my mood will turn satisfyingly crisp!
