MugiAn Irish pub with a tropical-sounding beer? One-day only makes me want to sprint there!
Hop BroAnd the style is a Milkshake IPA, built around passion fruit tartness and that hazy, juicy feel.
MugiMilkshake? Wait, does an IPA become dessert now? Do I need a straw or what?!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. They use lactose for a soft sweetness. Not actual milk, just a rounder, smoother texture.
MugiOhhh, so the passion fruit zing meets a gentle bitterness? That sounds like grown-up tropical juice!
Hop BroExactly. And Tullamore didn’t stop at the guest tap. The comparison lineup was stacked: Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, Yebisu, and Ikari Brewery’s Irish Red on nitro.
MugiHold on, nitro? You mean poured with nitrogen? This pub is one beaker away from a science lab!
Hop BroNo lab coat required, but the bubbles get finer. That gives it a creamy mouthfeel, which totally changes the impression.
MugiAnd with grilled eggplant salad and mutton keema around, the food pairing potential is getting out of hand. I’d get sucked in after work.
MugiIf it’s that easy to drop in from Yoyogi Park or Yoyogi-Hachiman, I’m walking straight into the just one pint trap and absolutely not escaping.
Hop BroFinal verdict: start with Passion Shake at Tullamore, then work through the staples. Talking about it made me want a pint now.
TULLAMORE opened at 4 p.m. on Thursday.
At Irish Pub TULLAMORE in Tomigaya, Tokyo, the `Today's Guest Beer` for July 23 was Passion Shake from Vector Brewing in Asakusa-bashi. The beer is a Milkshake IPA with Passion Fruit, described in the post as a hazy summer-friendly beer with soft sweetness, bright tart fruit character, and enough bitterness to keep it balanced.
The rest of the draft lineup gives the pub a classic range. Alongside the guest beer were Guinness, Shiga Kogen Beer IPA, Yebisu, and Ikari Brewery Irish Red - Nitro-. That means drinkers could move from stout to IPA to lager and a nitrogenated red ale without leaving the same counter, which fits the appeal of a proper Irish pub.
Food also shifted on the same day. A salad with roasted eggplant, tomato, and cottage cheese was added, and from Tuesday the kitchen was serving mutton keema curry with white kidney beans. The result is a venue where beer and food can be matched without forcing the pace.
Located on the first floor of the Yoyogi Park Building in Tomigaya, the pub is easy to reach from the Yoyogi Park area and works well for either a quick pint or a longer evening session.
