Hop BroAt Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, Osaka, it is a two-keg showdown today. They have tapped 'Sage' from FARO BREWING × KARAKURI and 'Tono no Kaze' from Good Hops.
MugiWait, only two out of sixteen taps!? That gives them main-character energy right away!
Hop BroExactly. Hathor has been pouring since 2015, and their smoked food is a draw too, so a small but sharp lineup like this really tells you what kind of night it is.
Mugi'Sage' sounds fancy! But when you say saison, my brain goes surprise pop quiz on me!
Hop BroA saison is a light, aromatic Belgian-leaning style. And this one is a collab anniversary beer for KARAKURI's 8th year, inspired by Stillwater's 'Cellar Door Saison'.
MugiOh wow, tying an 8th anniversary to the idea of lasting a long time? That is storytelling you can drink. The first sip already has a plot!
Hop Bro'Tono no Kaze' is the IPA side: 100% Tono-grown hops, with the new No Wind variety up front and Tono-grown Magnum in support. People are talking about green-apple-and-pear notes and an easy, breezy finish.
MugiNo Wind and Magnum? Those sound like special moves! So basically the hop casting is stacked?
Hop BroThat is it. No Wind brings the soft sweet aroma, Magnum tightens the outline, and the lighter body makes it perfect for side-by-side drinking with smoked snacks.
MugiNow I am stuck deciding which to start with first. Saison story or IPA breeze, I just know I want both pints.
Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Kyobashi, Osaka, has been running since 2015 with 16 taps and house-smoked food. In its latest tap update, the bar kept the lineup to two beers, making the day’s offerings easy to read and very much in line with its beer-first identity.
Today's open kegs
- `Sage / FARO BREWING × KARAKURI`
- `Tono no Kaze / Good Hops`
`Sage` is a collaboration brewed for KARAKURI’s 8th anniversary. The brewery note says it was inspired by Stillwater’s Cellar Door Saison, and the beer carries a story centered on sage, longevity, and a long-standing friendship between the breweries involved. It is a fitting release for a milestone beer.
`Tono no Kaze` is an IPA brewed with 100% Tono-grown hops. It uses Good Hops’ own new hop variety, No Wind, as the lead ingredient, with Tono-grown Magnum as an accent. The beer is described as offering a soft hop aroma, alongside green apple and pear-like fruit character, finishing with a light, easy-drinking impression.
Hathor often highlights beers with clear themes, and this update is a good example: one anniversary collaboration with a saison-like lineage, and one hop-driven IPA built around local hop character. Paired with the pub’s smoked snacks, it makes for a straightforward but appealing tap list for beer fans in Osaka.
