CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP Introduces Kyoto Brewing's HOPIDOL Motue and Tsubutsumu
CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP's July 13 Instagram post introduced two guest beers from Kyoto Brewing, along with venue details from the Shibuya bottle shop and beer bar.
Hop BroI want to kick things off with a Shibuya beer post today. CATARATAS BOTTLE SHOP just introduced two guest beers from Kyoto Brewing: HOPIDOL Motue and Tsubutsumu.
MugiWhat! Two Kyoto Brewing pours in Shibuya? One sounds like a pop star and the other sounds way too cute!
Hop BroFirst up, HOPIDOL Motue is a Sour IPA. It has a fresh lime-like citrus aroma, a light tropical touch, and a soft texture coming from oats.
MugiWait, what is oat-derived softness? Like... breakfast oats? This beer is acting suspiciously wholesome!
Hop BroNot wholesome, just smart. A smoother mouthfeel is what oats bring. In simple terms, they round out the acidity so it feels softer and less sharp.
MugiOhhh! So a sour IPA combo is both bitter and tart? Do those two flavors not start arguing in your mouth?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. HOPIDOL Motue keeps the hoppy aroma and the bright sour snap in balance, so they work together instead of fighting.
MugiNow I need to know about Tsubutsumu too! Berry mix and sour cherry? That name is adorable, but the flavor sounds serious.
Hop BroTsubutsumu is a fruit sour ale with juicy sweet-tart berry character and a light, easy finish. And you can enjoy it right at Shibuya Sakura Stage, SAKURA SIDE 3F.
MugiTwo minutes from JR Shibuya New South Gate and an outdoor pop-up too? That is dangerously convenient. Drinking outside there sounds perfect!
Hop BroAnd the shop has over 100 bottle options, plus four draft lines and beer flights, so even choosing what to drink becomes part of the fun.
MugiThen there is only one answer: Shibuya tasting mission. I want to get that bright kick from HOPIDOL Motue and then grin my way through Tsubutsumu!
