ALE House Kamiya taps NAMACHA Brewing’s Yamitsuki Ale Tom Yum Kung
ALE House Kamiya in Osaka has tapped NAMACHA Brewing’s Yamitsuki Ale Tom Yum Kung. The beer is described as a spicy, sour, aroma-driven pour with shrimp, nam pla, herbs, and lime in the mix.
Hop BroAt ALE HOUSE Kamiya in Umeda, Osaka, NAMACHA'n Brewing just tapped Yamitsuki Ale Tom Yum Kung as a guest beer, and I need to talk about it.
MugiWait, a Tom Yum Kung beer? Did soup just sneak into the brewhouse?
Hop BroIt sounds wild, but the structure makes sense: chili heat and tartness lead the way, then the herbs layer in on top for a spice-driven ale.
MugiHold on, what even is sour malt? That was sudden beer jargon, and my beginner brain just foamed over.
Hop BroSour malt is basically a tart malt addition that gives the beer a sharp, lime-like edge, so the flavor feels brighter and more defined.
MugiAnd it also has shrimp, fish sauce, and lemongrass? That's night-market energy in one glass!
Hop BroExactly, and the fun part is how the umami and salinity meet coriander seed, makrut lime leaf, and lime in an aroma-first beer you want to smell before you sip.
MugiAnd the last one was Yamitsuki Ale Mapo, right? This food-name beer streak actually helps because I can picture the flavor right away.
Hop BroThat’s one thing NAMACHA'n Brewing does well. ALE HOUSE Kamiya also posts today’s beer lineup on Stories every day, so it’s easy to check before heading over.
MugiAnd it’s in K1 Building B1 in Doyama? That sounds like a straight-after-work stop, plus they take phone reservations and even have party courses.
Hop BroOne caution: it’s a shrimp-containing beer, so anyone with a shellfish allergy needs to be careful. If you pay attention to the aroma, heat, and acidity in that order, the whole shape comes through. Talking about it has me wanting one now.
MugiSame here, I’m fully ready to nose-dive into that glass, so yeah, we are absolutely ordering this one.
ALE House Kamiya, a beer pub in Dooyama-cho, Osaka, has tapped NAMACHA Brewing’s Yamitsuki Ale Tom Yum Kung. In the Instagram post, the beer is presented as a distinctive, spice-forward guest beer.
The flavor profile centers on chili heat and sour malt acidity. On top of that come shrimp and nam pla umami, plus coriander seed, lemongrass, bai makrut, and lime aromas. The post emphasizes that it is a beer to enjoy not only for taste, but also for its expressive aroma in the glass.
The post also references the brewery’s earlier Yamitsuki Ale Mabo, showing a continuation of its spicy, food-inspired beer line. That makes the new release easy to place for drinkers who already know NAMACHA Brewing’s character.
ALE House Kamiya is located in the basement level of the K1 Building near Umeda, and the shop updates today’s beers on its daily Instagram story. Reservations are accepted by phone, and banquet courses are available, including a craft-beer all-you-can-drink option.
Because this beer contains shrimp, those with allergies should take care.
