Craft Beer 2mugi, a beer pub in Kanda-Izumicho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, opens on Thursday from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The tap list features six beers, including Kunitachi Brewery's new Japanese Rice Lager, plus house-made tofu and horse mackerel sashimi.
Hop BroCraft Beer 2mugi in Kanda is going with a 3 p.m. Thursday opening today. They're open from 15:00 to 23:00, so it works for day drinking or an early evening pint.
MugiWait, a day-drinking welcome mat? My schedule just lost the argument!
Hop BroAnd the headliner among the six taps is Kunitachi Brewery's Japanese Rice Lager. It's a new keg, brewed with rice, and it's crisp and clean.
MugiWhoa, but rice lager makes me picture a rice ball turning fizzy. My brain is not keeping up!
Hop BroNo need to panic. Rice can lighten the body and clean up the finish, so think easy-drinking lager. It's exactly the kind of first beer you want.
MugiOkay, sold. Then what comes next? That six-tap lineup sounds dangerous.
Hop BroNara Brewing Co. has EIGHTY EIGHT, a Green Tea Saison; Noroshi Brewery has Furi, an Elderflower Wit; and West Coast Brewing x Totopia brought Hazy Double IPA Riverphilia.
MugiHold on, what is hazy? And saison and wit too? That's a triple combo of beer jargon!
Hop BroHazy means cloudy and juicy-aromatic, saison is light and dry, and wit is soft with spice or floral notes. So basically it's a lineup built on aroma. And Furi is an ultra-limited keg shared by a brewer friend.
MugiAnd they added house-made chilled tofu plus horse mackerel sashimi? That's a perfect snack setup.
Hop BroYou can drink there or take cans and bottles to go, so this is a strong Kanda stop. I want to start with tofu and rice lager, then chase it with the limited Furi or Riverphilia.
MugiDone. I'm showing up at 3 and launching a tasting comparison mission. This article made me want a beer immediately!
