BEER OTAKU SPICE taps Kunitachi Brewery's 'Natsu no Awai'
BEER OTAKU SPICE, a beer pub in Taito, Tokyo, highlighted a guest tap from Kunitachi Brewery: "Natsu no Awai." The post also notes lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and regular service through the holiday period.
Hop BroI’ve been itching to talk about Natsu no Awai on tap. BEER OTAKU SPICE in Taito just tapped this guest beer from Kunitachi Brewery.
MugiWhat! A guest beer release already sounds fun, and that name feels like summer vacation in a glass. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroThe style is fruit sour beer, made with Japanese plum and red plum. It has a bright tartness, but the fruit character still comes through clearly.
MugiWait, what is fruit sour beer supposed to mean? Is this beer pretending to be juice, and do I need to brace my face for maximum sour mode?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: it has clean acidity. In plain terms, the tartness feels crisp and refreshing instead of heavy, so it’s easy to keep drinking even in hot weather.
MugiOhhh, easy to keep drinking is dangerous information. That sounds like the kind of beer where “just one more sip” becomes a full afternoon.
Hop BroAnd the shop is open through Obon with normal hours: lunch is 11:30 to 14:00 last order, and evening service is 17:00 to 23:00 last order.
MugiSeriously? Lunch and dinner hours both work for beer plans. My holiday schedule just got hijacked by a very persuasive glass.
Hop BroToday’s biryani is chicken, and it’s perfect with spice dishes. The fruity acidity resets your palate, so every bite and sip keeps the next one inviting.
MugiThat’s it, I can already picture biryani and beer on the table. I want to sniff the plum aroma first and then take the most dramatic first sip possible.
Hop BroIt sounds like a proper summer pour: light on the palate, but still packed with fruit character. BEER OTAKU SPICE really knows how to make one glass feel seasonal.
MugiNo debate left, I want this now. Let’s go to BEER OTAKU SPICE during Obon and win summer with Natsu no Awai and chicken biryani.
BEER OTAKU SPICE, a beer pub in Taito, Tokyo, highlighted a guest tap from Kunitachi Brewery: "Natsu no Awai."
The beer is described as a fruit sour brewed with plum and red plum. Its bright, refreshing acidity gives it a lively profile while keeping the fruit character clear. It looks like a good fit for warmer weather and for drinkers who want something crisp but still expressive.
The post also notes lunch service from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and dinner from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with normal service continuing through the holiday period. Today's biryani is chicken, so the shop is offering a straightforward combination of spicy food and a fruit-forward sour. It is a practical snapshot of the venue's beer-and-spice style.
