The beer pub Saio-gau-uma in Kobe's Sannomiya held a NOMCRAFT Tap Take Over from April 3 to 4, 2026, paired with mojiyaki from Kawada Mojiyaki Shop. The post described a lineup centered on `NOMCLASSIC` and the Hazy-style beers that were tapped later on.

MugiWait, what's a Tap Take Over? Does that mean the beer is basically taking over the place?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's an event where one brewery fills the bar's taps. The key point this time was that it was limited to NOMCLASSIC.
MugiOhhh! So if it's classic, it's not the super aggressively bitter kind, but more of an easy-drinking style?
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind you enjoy for the malt richness and balance, and it goes perfectly with teppan mojiyaki. It's a real great match for mojiyaki.
MugiBeer and mojiyaki sound amazing! And the comment says "Amazing mojiyaki is the best" - you can really feel the energy at the event!
Hop BroIn the latter half, Junya's Mystic Dragon (Hazy) was also tapped. Hazy beers are cloudy styles with aromas that rise up softly.
MugiCloudy? Wait, so that's not a mistake, it's the style? What kind of drinking experience is aromas rising softly?
Hop BroThey tend to bring out tropical notes and juiciness from the hops, and it's fun to drink them after a classic-style beer. And the fact that the 15L keg sold out immediately shows just how popular it was.
MugiSaio-gau-uma has that relaxed atmosphere where you can drink slowly, and it's strong on events too. This is definitely a place I'd want to stop by in Sannomiya!
Hop BroYeah, the flow of lingering over classics and then finishing with a grin over a Hazy beer is great. It makes you want to toast with NOMCRAFT right away.

The post makes it clear that the lineup was limited to `NOMCLASSIC` among NOMCRAFT's offerings. It also includes the comment, "Amazing mojiyaki is the best!" giving a sense of the setup: teppan-grilled food as the snack, paired with beers that lean classic and are easy to keep drinking. As an event where food and alcohol are closely linked, it seems like an especially good match.
In the latter half, the post says that once Junya's `Mystic Dragon (Hazy)` was put on tap, the 15L keg sold out immediately. In other words, the lineup that day offered not only satisfying classic-style beers, but also aromatic Hazy styles. The flow from NOMCRAFT's more standard flavors into a more vibrant Hazy is an appealing one that craft beer fans will immediately understand.
Saio-gau-uma, a beer pub just a short walk from Sannomiya Station, is known for its calm, comfortable atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in for a drink. It is the kind of place that works well both for relaxed counter seating and for events where you can discover new labels, so it fits naturally with this kind of program. An event like this, which foregrounds the pairing of food and beer, says a great deal about the character of the bar itself.
