CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE unveils a 15-beer tap list in Kitahorie
CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE, a beer pub in Osaka's Kitahorie district, posted its August 7 tap list. The lineup spans classic lagers, fruit-forward beers, and hop-driven options from breweries such as Minoh, Shiga Kogen, Ushitora, and 10 BAREL.
Hop BroToday's headline is 15 taps in Kitahorie. CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE updated its August 7 tap list, and the draft lineup is seriously packed.
MugiWait, 15 beers on draft? That blackboard sounds less like a menu and more like a final exam. Where am I supposed to start?
Hop BroThe first thing that jumps out is a strong lager lineup: Pilsner Urquell, Asahi Super Dry, Asahi Maruefu Black, plus Minoh Beer's Highkara Pils and OUR BREWING's DOGTOWN LAGER.
MugiHold on, a strong lager lineup? What does that even mean? Are these beers secretly doing squats?
Hop BroNo squats, but layers on the palate. Even within lagers, you can compare crispness, malt depth, and how clean the fermentation feels.
MugiOkay, but then I saw Fermentery NICO and PLUM GOSE and my brain turned into a fruit stand. What even is a gose?
Hop BroGose is an ale with a salty tang and gentle acidity, so PLUM GOSE should come off bright and refreshing. After that you've got Shiga Kogen Porter, Shinshu Heion / Apple IPA, and Ushitora's Kanmuryo.
MugiThat sounds amazing. It's basically a fruit-flavor relay, and I'd probably end up holding my glass like it was summer vacation itself.
Hop BroThen the IPA zone is the main event: Ushitora Sachihop, Shiga Kogen Indian Summer Saison, SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange ver., and 10 BARREL BREWING's Drama Hazy IPA. Hazy means the beer is intentionally cloudy, softer on the mouth, and big on aroma.
MugiI'm sold. If they're open through Obon, I'm heading to Kitahorie. Even with a possible two-hour limit, I want to start with lagers and finish with that Hazy IPA!
