The Beer Shop Hirakata city adds Inkhorn BUNCHO, six taps listed on July 29
The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Hirakata, Osaka, announced an Inkhorn Brewing restock of BUNCHO on July 29. The day’s draft lineup also included Sapporo Black Label, Daisen G Beer Weizen, Nomcraft Wonder Mosaic, Revision DIPA, and Hirakata Beer Session Citra White.
Hop BroToday’s story is about Inkhorn Brewing’s BUNCHO arrival at The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Osaka. They also had six beers on tap that day, and the whole lineup looks seriously strong.
MugiWait, the name alone is adorable! Six beers on tap and I’m supposed to stay calm?
Hop BroBUNCHO is a West Coast IPA loaded with hops, bringing citrus and berry notes, then finishing with a clean, refreshing bitterness.
MugiOoh, nice! But what does West Coast mean ? Does it taste like sea breeze and surfboards or something?
Hop BroNot ocean spray, more like a crisp bitter finish with a dry profile. The citrus pops first, then the berry note drifts in, so it even matches that sleek urban can design.
MugiWhat is this, fashion in liquid form? And they’ve got Sapporo Black Label plus Daisen G Beer’s Weizen on tap too? That range is ridiculous!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. You can start with the easygoing Weizen, move to Nomcraft’s Wonder Mosaic, hit Revision’s DIPA, then finish with Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White. It’s basically a full drinking route built for you.
MugiHold on, is DIPA a spell ? Because once Session Citra White showed up, my tongue started asking for subtitles!
Hop BroDIPA means Double IPA, so the hop punch and alcohol are a bit bigger. Session, on the other hand, is lighter and easier to drink, so it helps reset your palate at the end. With Black Label as the anchor, I’m already craving a pint.
MugiSo now I’m stuck deciding whether to take BUNCHO home or drink it side by side with the taps in the shop… actually, no debate, we’re doing both!
On July 29, The Beer Shop Hirakata city in Okahigashicho, Hirakata, Osaka, announced a new arrival from Inkhorn Brewing (Tokyo): BUNCHO. The post describes it as a modern West Coast IPA with plenty of hops, citrus and berry character, and a clean, refreshing bitter finish. The packaging is also highlighted as stylish and urban.
The day’s draft lineup covered a wide range of styles.
- No. 1: Sapporo Brewery / Black Label
- No. 2: Daisen G Brewery (Tottori) / Weizen
- No. 3: Nomcraft (Wakayama) / Wonder Mosaic
- No. 4: Revision Brewing (USA) / DIPA
- No. 5: coming soon
- No. 6: Hirakata Beer (Osaka) / Session Citra White
That mix makes the bar easy to use for different drinking moods. You can start with a familiar lager, move into a wheat beer, then explore hop-forward options with Wonder Mosaic and DIPA, and finish with the lighter Session Citra White. BUNCHO also looks like a good candidate for a side-by-side comparison between canned beer and draft.
The Beer Shop Hirakata city operates as a craft-beer-focused pub in Hirakata, and this post shows the kind of lineup-oriented curation the shop is known for: a stable anchor in Black Label, local Japanese craft, and an import from Revision all sitting alongside the Inkhorn arrival. It is a useful stop for people who want to map out a beer night by style rather than by brand alone.
