Hop BroToday it's the April 8 tap info for the beer pub, Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi. The featured pick is Nara Brewing's "Underwater Luminous."
MugiWhoa! Even the name sparkles! What kind of beer is Underwater Luminous?
Hop BroWell, it uses sake yeast, brewing water, and soyashi water while really bringing out malt-derived sweetness and acidity. It has a Japanese feel, but what's interesting is that it still comes together properly as a beer.
MugiSoyashi water? What is that? This suddenly feels like a sake research project! What exactly is soyashi water?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's fermentation-derived water used in the brewing process, which helps give the flavor more depth. And because it carries the aroma of sake yeast, it also gives off a slightly refined, sake-like elegance.
MugiOh, I see! That aroma description already sounds delicious. Watermelon and apple? Is it really that fruity?
Hop BroExactly. It's said to have aromas reminiscent of red-fleshed watermelon, honey-filled apples, and ramune. And because it's sweet-tart and easy to drink, it's the kind that makes you reach for the next sip before you know it.
MugiThat's dangerous! And Hathor has 16 taps, right? The kind of place where being unable to choose is a good thing!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. It has lager, saison, peach ale, IPA, and dark beer, which is very Hathor-like in its wide range of flavors.
MugiThen it sounds fun to start with Luminous and compare it with the IPAs and dark beers next! A tasting route sounds really exciting.
Hop BroExactly. If you start with Nara Brewing's pour and compare the bitterness, aroma, and malt sweetness, it's craft beer at full strength. Today makes me want to head to the bar and start with the first glass.
MugiYeah, me too. I might have already decided on my drink for tonight!
