Hathor in Osaka Taps Sansho Lager and Nine More Beers
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka has announced its September 24 tap list, featuring 10 beers including Ise Kadoya Beer’s Sansho Lager, Kinoni Pale Ale Galaxy Ver, Shiga Kogen Beer’s Ikkyoryoutoku, and several strong, hop-forward selections.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hatohol in Kyobashi, Osaka, has released its September 24 tap list. From Sansho Lager to rich stout, the range is incredible!
MugiWhat? Sansho in beer!? Isekadoya Sansho Lager sounds like it could make my tongue throw a party!
Hop BroIt is more of a tingling sansho sensation than straight heat. Grapefruit-like hop aromas meet a refreshing citrus note.
MugiBut what exactly is hop aroma? Aren’t hops just bitter leafy things? I need to know!
Hop BroHops are plants that add bitterness and aroma to beer, and some varieties smell like citrus or peach. With sansho, they make a brilliant aromatic duo.
MugiOhhh! If it is dry and crisp, it sounds great with food. Pair it with house-smoked snacks and the next sip never stops!
Hop BroHop fans should also watch for Oni Densetsu Beer’s Kinnoni Pale Ale Galaxy ver. It brings citrus, peach, passionfruit, and a firm bitter punch.
MugiThat name already sounds powerful! And there is a real-ale version to compare too? A demon tasting showdown—what happens if I lose!?
Hop BroYou only lose by becoming happier. Shiga Kogen Beer’s Ikkyo Ryotoku is an inventive IPA, inspired by combining hazy beer and saison.
MugiHazy and saison… that suddenly sounds like a spell! What happens when you combine two beer styles?
Hop BroThink hazy for juicy, softly cloudy character, and saison for a light, spicy feel. Revision’s Critical Saturation is also a fruit-forward double IPA.
MugiThere is light Dr. Kölsch, 9.6% Karl Strauss, and Daisen G Beer imperial stouts too! Sixteen taps and smoked food—let’s head to Kyobashi for a toast!
September 24 tap highlights
The featured pour is Sansho Lager from Ise Kadoya Beer. It has a pale straw color with a slight haze, grapefruit and citrus hop aromas, and a fresh, spicy sansho character. The finish is dry and crisp, with a tingling sensation closer to sansho’s numbing spice than heat. Citrus notes from both the pepper and hops linger, making it a natural match for food.
On the ale side, Onidensetsu Beer offers Kinoni Pale Ale Galaxy Ver and Kinoni Pale Ale Real Ale Ver. The Galaxy version brings citrus, peach, and passion-fruit aromas, backed by firm bitterness and a punchy profile.
Shiga Kogen Beer’s Ikkyoryoutoku combines the brewer’s imagined qualities of a hazy beer and a saison. Revision’s Critical Saturation delivers a fruit-forward hazy double IPA built around Dolcita and Mosaic hops, while Ise Kadoya’s Nikukyu IPA Returns adds another hop-driven option.
The list also includes Dr. Kölsch from Twin Peaks Mountain, Minamishinsyu Beer’s 30th Pale Ale, Karl Strauss’s 37th Anniversary Golden Ale at 9.6% ABV, and two vintages of Daisen G Beer Imperial Stout from 2023 and 2025.
With 16 taps and house-smoked food, Hathor offers a broad range for the evening, from crisp lager and citrusy pale ale to hazy IPA and rich imperial stout.
