The beer pub "Craft Beer Spot Hathor" in Kyobashi, Osaka, updated its tap information for May 5. The lineup includes distinctive, aromatic beers such as Isekadoya Beer’s "Memory Bouquet" and Minoh Beer’s "Sansho W-IPA."
Hop BroThe tap update at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi for May 5 is seriously exciting. They’ve got 16 taps lined up, from aromatic beers to full-bodied ones.
MugiWhoa! 16 taps? That’s not a fridge anymore, that’s a beer theme park! And they even have house-smoked dishes?
Hop BroExactly. The star this time is Isekadoya Beer’s Memory Bouquet. It’s an Italian Pilsner based on ISEKADO’s 28th-anniversary "Memory Bouquet," with the blend of noble hops and the timing of their additions reworked.
MugiWhat is that! Noble hops sounds like some kind of aristocratic hop family, but what does it actually mean?
Hop BroIn broad terms, it refers to a hop family that tends to produce elegant, herbal aromas. So the bouquet-like aroma layers beautifully, and even though it isn’t flashy, it keeps smelling great the whole time.
MugiOhhh! Then Minoh Beer’s Sansho W-IPA sounds like it’s got a strong personality just from the name!
Hop BroThat’s right. It combines flower sansho pepper with Minoh Beer’s signature W-IPA, so the solid 9% body carries spice and a subtle citrus note.
MugiWhat, 9%!? That’s basically pure drinking power! But with the sansho, it probably still finishes sharp. Dangerously delicious.
Hop BroThe IPA selection is strong too, with Disco Ninja IPA, Snow Monkey IPA, and Heaven's Age on the board, plus BrewDog’s Double Hazy and Left Hand’s Milk Stout Nitro ver.
MugiWow, this is like beer tasting heaven! Snacking on smoked dishes while chasing hop aroma and malt depth in Kyobashi sounds perfect.
