At Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, North Island Beer’s "Weizen" and Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Memory Bouquet" were tapped on April 25. Another keg is scheduled to be opened during business hours, so depending on timing, it could be a day to enjoy as many as seven draft beers.
Hop BroAt Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka, two draft beers were tapped. And there’s another keg planned during business hours, so if the timing lines up, it’s a day when up to seven varieties could be available.
MugiWhat, seven draft beers?! I’d probably circle the shop three times before I even decided!
Hop BroFirst up is North Island Beer’s Weizen. It uses Haruyutaka wheat from Ebetsu, Hokkaido, and is designed to deliver a soft mouthfeel and a clean fruity aroma.
MugiHaruyutaka, what is that?! Does that mean wheat is the star? It sounds like a bakery name even though it’s beer, and now I’m curious.
Hop BroExactly. When there’s a lot of wheat malt, the mouthfeel gets rounder. Weizen is a style with restrained bitterness, and it tends to show banana-like aromas and clove-like nuances.
MugiOhhh! So next I want to drink Ise Kadoya Beer’s Memory Bouquet too! Just the name sounds like a flower field, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroIt’s an Italian pilsner, and its defining feature is a lemongrass aroma layered with floral and spicy notes. It’s light and crisp, so it’s the kind you can drink smoothly even on a hot day.
MugiWait, a pilsner with such a gorgeous aroma?! It’s not just a plain refreshing beer - it actually has character, which is so unfair.
Hop BroAnd the tap list also has Ohyama G Beer’s Imperial Stout 2025, NAT.BREW, and Hirakata Beer, so the range stretches from dark beers to hoppy white beers.
MugiThat sounds way too fun to compare! If you have everything from black to white, it turns into one of those meetings where everyone debates the order!
Hop BroThe food is good too. There’s Taiwanese-style fried chicken, sansho-spiced grilled young chicken, and domestic beef round steak, so pairing them with aromatic beers will make it hard to stop.
MugiWhoa, the beer and the food are both strong! Tonight’s lineup is so irresistible that just looking at the menu made my throat go dry!
