Four beers tapped at Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor, a beer pub in Osaka’s Kyobashi area, four beers were tapped today: Heartland, Isekadoya Beer’s Shacho Special Japanese DASI ALE, Minamishinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Kogyoku Ver., and Nekojima.
Hop BroAt Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi, today’s four-tap lineup is seriously well balanced. It runs from a dependable classic to playful collabs, so even choosing the order sounds fun.
MugiWhat, really? Only four taps and you’re already this excited? I feel like I’d still manage to get gloriously lost.
Hop BroThat’s the point. Heartland from Kirin gives you a reliable first pint, which makes it a perfect opener before things get more adventurous.
MugiI get that! A safe opening move makes the next choice easier. If the first beer looks too complicated, my taste buds start holding emergency meetings.
Hop BroThen you’ve got Isekadoya Beer’s Shacho Special Japanese DASI ALE, and that one brings a distinctly Japanese nuance with a real personality.
MugiHang on, what even is DASI ALE? Do you mean dashi, like soup stock? Is this beer about to bow politely and hand me a tiny lacquer bowl?
Hop BroFair question. Here, DASI is easiest to read as the flavor direction: something that suggests savory, Japanese-style aroma and umami rather than literally tasting like soup.
MugiOooh, got it! Then Minamishinshu Beer’s Apple Hop Kogyoku ver. must be bright fruit energy in liquid form. The name alone sounds crisp.
Hop BroExactly, and after that you can hit Nekojima, the Isekadoya Beer × Pomona Island collab, for that playful collab spirit. The sequence across these four really works.
MugiSo it’s a classic starter, a Japanese-leaning ale, a fruity apple-forward pick, and a collab curveball. The tasting contrast is super clear even with just four taps.
Hop BroThat’s why Hathor is good at this. It feels casual, but you still get a thoughtfully shaped tap list where each beer stands out and even food pairings sound worth exploring.
MugiNow I want to go immediately and argue about the best drinking order in person. I’m starting with Heartland and saving Nekojima for the grin-at-the-end finish.
