Hop BroFirst up is T.Y. Harbor × Tackle Box's Tackle Box Red Ale. It was brewed to celebrate Mr. Makidera's 60th birthday; he's known nationwide for beer-server installations.
MugiA beer for a 60th birthday—lovely! Does red ale mean the beer is red?
Hop BroIts color leans reddish-brown, but the real point is the mellow, toasty malt character. A malty flavor means rich grain notes, a bit like bread or caramel. At 6.0% ABV, it pairs beautifully with food.
MugiGot it—malt richness! With the house-smoked food, it sounds like a beer to sip slowly!
Hop BroThe other featured tap is Isekado Brewery's Beer or Beer ?. It uses New Zealand hops—Motueka, Pacifica, and Wakatu—plus Limequat Hop Kief for a lime-like aroma.
MugiLimequat... Hop... Kief? That is a name like a spell. I feel like it might summon a full glass!
Hop BroPut simply, it is an ingredient that highlights hop aroma. Bitterness stays restrained, while lime-like citrus aroma takes center stage. It is designed to glide naturally into your next beer.
MugiAnd four Minoh Beer peach weizens too!? A peach-variety tasting with Early Peach, Hakuhō, Shimizu Hakutō, and Kawanakajima sounds like a peach party!
Hop BroThey use Arakawa peaches from Hatta Farm in Wakayama, and each is 5.0% ABV with 12 IBU. IBU is a bitterness guide, so 12 is gentle. You can really compare the different peach aromas.

Highlights from the November 9 tap list
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a Kyobashi beer pub known for its 16 taps and house-smoked food, is serving a varied lineup on November 9.
The newly tapped Tackle Box Red Ale is a collaboration between T.Y. Harbor and Tackle Box. It was brewed to celebrate Makiji-san of Tackle Box, widely known for beer-server installations, turning 60. At 6.0% ABV, the beer is described as malty and comforting, making it a natural choice for a relaxed pint with food.
Also newly opened is Beer or Beer ? from Ise Kadoya Beer. Its clean malt base supports hop aromas from Motueka, Pacifica, and Wakatu, all from New Zealand. Limequat Hop Kief adds another layer of lime-like citrus character. Designed with restrained bitterness and a bright aroma profile, it is an easy-drinking beer that invites another glass.
Four versions of Momo Weizen
The day’s featured recommendation is Minoh Beer’s Momo Weizen, available in four versions made with Arakawa peaches from Hakkifarm in Wakayama: Wase, Hakuho, Shimizu Hakuto, and Kawanakajima. Each is 5.0% ABV with an IBU of 12, offering a chance to compare the fruit expression of different peach varieties.
The wider tap list includes Shimanami Silky Lager from Shimanami Brewery, Crispy Cozy Minoh Mash from Deschutes and Minoh Beer, That’s Dangerous from Barebottle, Introspectre from Varietal, and Peanut Butter Milk Stout from Belching Beaver. From a crisp lager to an 8.6% IPA and a dark stout, the selection covers a broad range of beer styles.
