TOKYO ALE WORKS' Yoyogi Lazy Hazy DDH taps at vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro
At vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR in Ikebukuro East Exit, TOKYO ALE WORKS' Yoyogi Lazy Hazy DDH has joined the draft lineup. The juicy DDH hazy IPA brings passion fruit, mango, and pineapple-like notes, alongside returning house dishes that make pairing especially appealing.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh tap worth talking about in Ikebukuro: vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR just put on Yoyogi Lazy Hazy DDH from TOKYO ALE WORKS. The name alone sounds like a full-on hop traffic jam.
MugiWhat! That name sounds intense! So what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a DDH Hazy IPA, packed with a tropical fruit vibe like passion fruit, mango, and pineapple.
MugiHold on, DDH Hazy IPA sounds like a speed-talking contest! What part is hazy and what part is DDH?
Hop BroDDH means double dry-hopped. After fermentation, they add a lot more hops for extra boosted aroma. Hazy means it looks cloudy and drinks softer.
MugiOhhh! So instead of just enduring bitterness, it’s more about a juice-like drinking feel?
Hop BroExactly. And vivo! has 20 taps, so beyond this one beer you’re covered from first pint to nightcap. They’ve even got Guinness and Heartland.
MugiThat’s dangerous... but if I’m pairing this beer, I’m eyeing the three returning dishes! The open cheese omelet and chili con carne are back, right?
Hop BroThat’s the good part. Fluffy egg dishes and spicy meat match the Hazy IPA’s full, rounded mouthfeel really well. The spicy pork hamburger sounds almost unfair.
MugiWhat is this, an instant win the moment you go downstairs? Tonight I’m heading under Ikebukuro East Exit for a juicy pint and that omelet.
Hop BroThen it’s settled. We start with a hop-bursting first glass, then stare at the tap list and debate what to eat next.
MugiDebate? That’s definitely just a drinking session! Still, I want one now so let’s start with Yoyogi Lazy Hazy DDH!
New Tap
vivo! BEER＋DININGBAR, a craft-beer pub tucked under Ikebukuro East Exit and pouring 20 drafts, has added TOKYO ALE WORKS' Yoyogi Lazy Hazy DDH. The DDH hazy IPA is described as juicy, with notes reminiscent of passion fruit, mango, and pineapple, making it a natural pick for hop-forward drinkers.
Food Returns
The kitchen also brings back vivo! open cheese omelet, chili con carne, and corned beef with cabbage sauté, which had disappeared after a recent menu change. A seasonal spicy pork hamburger steak has also joined the menu. That gives the bar a stronger food lineup for pairing with fruit-driven hazies or heavier dark beers.
More to Pour
Elsewhere on the taps are TOKYO ALE WORKS' In Cahoot Vol7*By the Basy IPA and Remouse Blended B.A. Imperial Stout~Special ver., plus beers from Inkhorn Brewing, Shiga Kogen Beer, Minoh Beer, and classic pours such as draft Guinness from St. James's Gate and Kirin Heartland. It is the sort of neighborhood beer bar where the first pint and the last pint can both be chosen with intent.
