Spring Guest Beer Triple Tap at Enibrew, Limited Sakura-Aroma Beers Gather
At Enibrew, a beer pub in Nakamozu, Osaka, three guest beers themed around spring have just been tapped. The lineup centers on “sakura” from Ise Kadoya Beer, HOPDOG BREWING, and Sanktgallen, letting guests enjoy all three at once alongside the restaurant’s seasonal dishes for a truly spring-like pint.
Hop BroAt Enibrew in Osaka’s Nakamozu, they’ve tapped three spring beers all at once. The calm underground space is great for slowly comparing the guest beers of spring, isn’t it?
MugiWhat! Three kegs at once!? Three spring guest taps sounds like it’s basically an hanami venue already!
Hop BroFirst is Ise Kadoya Beer’s Haru no Sasayaki. It’s a flower-yeast ale with hints of white grape, so it’s gorgeous but finishes with a soft, gentle touch.
MugiFlower yeast, what even is that! When I hear white grape aroma, it makes the beer sound almost wine-like. Is that really okay?
Hop BroIt is okay. The yeast’s character opens up the aroma. And since it’s an ale, the drinking feel stays light, with a soft sweetness that comes through smoothly in early spring.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about HOPDOG BREWING’s Sakura Sakihokore too! That faint cherry-blossom color is already full-on spring just from the look of it!
Hop BroThis is a rice ale, and the key point is that it uses cherry leaves. The clean character from the rice is layered with the aroma of cherry leaves, giving it an elegant refreshment that goes down easily.
MugiA rice ale sounds so refined! But when I hear cherry leaves, in my head hanami dango just starts lining up on its own!
Hop BroAnd then there’s the classic Sanktgallen Sakura. It uses plenty of cherry blossoms and leaves from Takato in Nagano, and its sakura-mochi-like flavor brings back memories of spring.
MugiA beer that tastes like sakura mochi is kind of moving...! And pairing it with new onion blanquette too? That’s basically spring on a dinner table.
Hop BroExactly. There are also more than 80 bottled beers in stock, and Beer To Go is available too, so the fun of choosing is strong. One pint in the shop today, another bottle on the way home, that’s the ideal flow.
MugiI definitely want to go now! Spring beer tasting, snacks on food, and then taking a bottle home on the way back is clearly the right answer!
On March 25, Enibrew, the beer pub near Nakamozu Station in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, announced that it had “tapped three spring beers.” In the calm underground first-floor space, visitors can take their time comparing seasonal brews from domestic breweries.
The spring beers tapped that day
First up is Ise Kadoya Beer’s “Haru no Sasayaki”. Introduced as a flower-yeast ale using white grapes, it features a gorgeous aroma and a gentle sweetness. While carrying a fruity nuance, it goes down lightly in a way that feels just right for spring.
Next is HOPDOG BREWING’s “Sakura Sakihokore.” This rice ale uses cherry leaves, and the recipe highlights ingredients and yeast character rooted in Akita. The post also mentions its “faint cherry-blossom hue,” making the balance between refined aroma and refreshing drinkability a key point.
The third is Sanktgallen’s “Sanktgallen Sakura.” A classic seasonal spring beer made with generous amounts of cherry blossoms and leaves from Takato, Nagano, it offers a flavor reminiscent of sakura mochi. It is a beloved beer that many fans look forward to every year around this time.
Enjoying it with food
The same post also recommended a spring-special dish: “new onion blanquette with sakura shrimp soup.” It is very much in Enibrew’s style to pair beer with warm plates made from seasonal ingredients. In addition, the shop is said to stock more than 80 bottles, and it supports Beer To Go as well as dine-in. It is a highly practical stop for craft beer fans, offering both seasonal taps and a wide range of bottled options.
