CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE in Osaka refreshes 15 taps with two limited Hazy IPAs
CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE, a beer pub in Osaka’s Kitahorie area, has updated its 15-tap lineup. The list runs from familiar lagers like Pilsner Urquell and Asahi to limited Hazy IPAs from Shiga Kogen Beer and Minoh Beer, plus tea-, coffee-, and plum-driven beers.
Hop BroToday’s pick is CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE in Kitahorie, Osaka, and this 15-tap refresh looks seriously strong, especially with two limited Hazy IPAs in the mix.
MugiWhat! Fifteen taps? That’s the kind of menu that makes me panic in a fun way!
Hop BroThe nice part is the entrance side starts with a lager-heavy lineup like Pilsner Urquell, Asahi Super Dry, and NAMACHA'n Brewing’s Premium Lager, so it’s easy to settle in.
MugiWait, what does lager-heavy even mean? It sounds like the beer is wearing a blanket!
Hop BroNo blankets on the beer. Lager-first setup just means clean, crisp pours come first, so you can reset your palate before jumping into the wild stuff.
MugiOooh, I get it! That’s like the first town in an RPG before the monsters show up!
Hop BroExactly, and then the real adventure starts with Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange ver. and Minoh Beer’s Vit Natt IPA, the two featured Hazy IPAs this time.
MugiWhat even is a Hazy IPA? It sounds like a beer that forgot to focus!
Hop BroThe core of Hazy IPA is that cloudy look, softer bitterness, and big juicy hop aroma up front. SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange ver. should lean citrusy, and Vit Natt IPA sounds built around a fuller aroma.
MugiOkay, now I need this. If they’ve also got Toretate Green Tea Ale, IRODORI Saison UME, and COFFEE IPA, that’s basically an aroma roller coaster!
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it. With Zhendan Saison, Dark Mild, and Sachihop in there too, it feels perfect for a quiet tasting session. If it gets busy there can be a two-hour limit, and I’m already planning my first pour.
MugiThen there’s only one answer: cheers in Kitahorie. Start with a lager, move to the Hazy IPAs, and finish with plum or coffee!
CraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE, a beer pub in Osaka’s Kitahorie district, has refreshed its tap list with 15 beers. The lager end is especially solid, with Pilsner Urquell, Asahi Super Dry, Asahi Maruef Kuro Nama, CHORYO Craft Beer’s Ride The Dragon, and NAMACHA'n Brewing’s Premium Lager. It is an easy place to start with a familiar pint before moving into more expressive styles.
The middle and back end of the lineup lean into character. Fermentary’s Zhendan Saison and Dark Mild, Hansharo Beer’s Toretate Green Tea Ale, Barbaric Works’ Alone At Party, Mugizakkoku Kobo’s IRODORI Saison UME, Ushitora Brewery’s Sachihop, Shiga Kogen Beer’s Indian Summer Saison and SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange ver., and Minoh Beer’s COFFEE IPA and Vit Natt IPA give the tap list a wide range of tea, plum, coffee, and hop-driven flavors. Among them, SNOW MONKEY IPA Orange ver. and Vit Natt IPA stand out as the two limited Hazy IPA choices.
KAMIKAZE remains the kind of beer pub where a broad tap list fits naturally with food. It is a place for working through styles at a relaxed pace, though the venue notes that seating may be limited to two hours during busy periods, so it makes sense to start with the beers you most want to try.
