Nanto Shuzojo Kölsch back on tap at Beer&Cafe Hafen, plus Shonan Gold
Beer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, has updated its tap list. Centered on Nanto Shuzojo's Kölsch, the lineup also includes beers from Sankt Gallen, Minoh Beer, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer, with Sapporo's Kuro Label and Draft Guinness available as regulars.
Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Osaka's Esaka updated its taps, and the star this time is Nanto Shuzojo's Kölsch. With Shonan Gold and Peach Weizen on the lineup too, the view today is especially good.
MugiWhoa, what kind of beer is Kölsch? I know the name, but it sounds elegant somehow and makes me nervous in a good way!
Hop BroKölsch is a traditional style from Cologne, Germany, and its appeal is that it's crisp and clean. It's light and easy to keep drinking, so I get why you'd want a refill at Hafen.
MugiI see, so that's why the post said they had a refill! Hehe, I love the kind of beer that makes you want "just one more."
Hop BroAnd next to it is Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold, which brightens things up with a citrusy pop. On top of that, Minoh Beer's Peach Weizen Shimizu Hakuto ver is here too, so the fruit game is strong.
MugiA Peach Weizen already sounds delicious just from the name! With the white peach ver, isn't it basically a win before you even take a sip?
Hop BroWeizen uses wheat, so it tends to have a soft mouthfeel, and when white peach aroma is layered on top, the fruit character really floats up. It sounds technical, but basically it's happy, gentle, peach-juice-adjacent bliss.
MugiWait, they have Kuro Label and Guinness too, and now fruit beer as well? My stomach is holding a meeting!
Hop BroThat's what makes Beer&Cafe Hafen interesting: the range of flavors is really clear. You can settle down with the regular Sapporo Kuro Label and Draft Guinness, or go on the offensive depending on how you feel that day.
MugiAnd parties of three or more need a reservation, with last orders at 22:00. It feels like the kind of place where you can sit back and drink slowly, which I love!
Hop BroExactly. If you want to keep up with the tap situation in Esaka right now, this is a place you can't skip. Next up, Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Miyazaki Fresh Hop Lager is already on the horizon, and part of the fun is drinking while following the changes.
MugiNow I really want to have a drink in Esaka today! Starting with Kölsch, then choosing between Shonan Gold and Guinness to finish sounds amazing, and even the deciding is part of the fun.
