Enibru in Osaka starts its 19th anniversary month with CHORYO Craft Beer x Temescal Brewing’s “RIde The Dragon”
Enibru, the beer pub in Nakamozu, Sakai City, Osaka, has kicked off its 19th anniversary month for July. The first featured rare beer is “RIde The Dragon,” a collaboration between CHORYO Craft Beer and Temescal Brewing, paired with seasonal summer dishes.
Hop BroEnibru in Nakamozu just kicked off its 19th anniversary month. The actual anniversary is July 7, and rare beers will keep rolling out ahead of the July 11-12 celebration.
MugiWhat! Nineteen years is legendary. A whole month of celebrating means my stomach needs its own calendar!
Hop BroThe first headliner is RIde The Dragon. It's a collab between CHORYO Craft Beer and Temescal Brewing from Oakland, brewed as a West Coast pilsner.
MugiWhoa, but West Coast pilsner means what exactly? A pilsner with ocean-breeze settings turned on?
Hop BroBasically it's a crisp lager with bright, punchy hop character layered on top. It drinks light, but the aroma still pops, which is perfect for summer.
MugiOoh! And the article mentioned acidity from white koji. Did we just teleport into fermentation class!?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. Think of it as a lemon-clean lift. It brightens the citrus from the three hops and keeps the finish bitter in a light, tidy way.
MugiOkay, so on a hot day it's dry and refreshing, and right after the gulp you go, "Wait, that smells amazing too!"
Hop BroExactly, and the food match is hamo and surf clam carpaccio. Add water eggplant, shishito peppers, okra, a plum-yolk-soy sauce, and a touch of sansho.
MugiWhat is this, the final form of summer? If it supports the beer without stepping on it, I'd want to applaud between bites.
Hop BroAnd it's only a two-minute walk from the station, down on the basement level, with a slow food-and-beer vibe that really suits settling in and savoring it.
MugiOhhh, then multiple visits this month totally make sense. If this is Rare Beer Fest #01, now I need the sequel too!
Hop BroExactly. First we toast with the dragon, then let that carpaccio catch the citrus and white-koji snap the beer is throwing.
MugiSettled. I want one right now. Their anniversary month is starting, and apparently so is my appetite festival!
The 19th anniversary month begins
Enibru says it will mark its 19th anniversary on July 7, and also mentions an anniversary festival on the 11th and 12th. For July, the shop is treating the month as a 19th-anniversary campaign, rolling out rare beers and special dishes throughout the period.
Featured beer
The first release in the “19th Anniversary Rare Beer Festival #01” is “RIde The Dragon,” a collaboration beer by CHORYO Craft Beer and Temescal Brewing of Oakland, California. Described as a West Coast Pilsner, it brings bright citrus notes from three hop varieties, clean acidity from white koji, and a light, crisp bitterness on the finish. It sounds like an easy match for hot-weather drinking.
Pairing with summer food
The food highlight is a luxe carpaccio of conger eel and pen shell scallop. The dish combines blanched seasonal conger eel and seared scallop with water eggplant, shishito peppers, okra, and other summer vegetables, finished with a special sauce made from plum paste, egg yolk, and soy sauce, plus the aroma of Japanese pepper. It is built to complement the beer without overwhelming it.
Located on the basement floor, about a two-minute walk from Nakamozu Station, Enibru feels like a place made for slow, focused drinking rather than a rushed stop. If you want to follow the anniversary beers and July-only dishes, this is the kind of campaign worth revisiting more than once.
