Hop BroToday, Osaka's Namba-Sennichimae 9-tap update is heating up. café&beer Aruka→Aru ka opened at 1 p.m. on March 28, and a row of local-heavy draft beers is lined up.
MugiWhoa, it opens in the afternoon!? 1 p.m. opening is already amazing!
Hop BroAnd the spotlight is CRAFT BEER BASE's Ikeda Mikan Wit. Witbier is a Belgian-style wheat beer, and with citrus from mikan on top, it really suits spring.
MugiWait, what's a wit!? Wheat beer can really change the flavor that much?
Hop BroIt does. When wheat is used, the mouthfeel becomes softer, and it makes it easier to bring out a sweet-tart citrus impression. That's why 'Ikeda Mikan Wit' already has a spring face just from the name.
MugiWow! So it's like a paradise for Osaka-local beer tastings. What kind of lineup is it?
Hop Bro13 Red Ale, Nishinari Riot Ale, Carotene Shower, Katano Kasumi, Hazy IPA Yuzu, and STOUT are on the list, and it finishes with PUNK IPA and Heartland for balance. It keeps the regional character front and center, while ending with labels everyone knows.
MugiNishinari Riot Ale is already such a strong name! It feels like Osaka's personality bursting out and that's exciting!
Hop BroThe food is solid too. From heavy hitters like mapo potatoes and thick-cut ham katsu to lighter bites like deep-fried fava beans with cumin salt, there's a full spread, so you can switch beer styles as you go.
MugiThat's the best! It's so perfect for day drinking that I'd want to stay on the terrace forever!
Hop BroIn the alleyways of Namba-Sennichimae, breathing in the spring air while doing a local draft-beer crawl. That's the kind of happy time beer lovers get.
MugiYeah, just hearing about it makes my throat dry up! It was the kind of article that makes you want your first drink right now!
