Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi taps four beers, including Yebisu and a T.Y. Harbor collab
At Craft Beer Spot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi area, four beers are now on tap: Yebisu, the collaboration Kyobashi Helles - Suspended Sentence, a berry-driven sour IPA, and a yuzu Hazy Double IPA. The bar pairs a broad tap lineup with house-smoked dishes.
Hop BroKyobashi just dropped a fun one: Craft Beer Spot Hathor tapped four fresh kegs. Yebisu on one end, a yuzu hazy on the other, and that's a very good kind of chaos.
MugiWhat! Four fresh kegs at once, with Yebisu, berries, and yuzu in the same lineup? My imaginary beer fridge is already causing traffic!
Hop BroThe first easy entry is Yebisu's classic lane. It's 100% malt, long-aged, golden, and rounded, so it's exactly the kind of first pour you can trust.
MugiOooh! Then what is Kyobashi Helles - Shikko Yuyo - supposed to be? It's a collab with T.Y. Harbor, and fake helles sounds like a beer wearing sunglasses indoors!
Hop BroHere's the fun part: fake helles means it keeps that easy helles drinkability, but twists the hop expression a bit. Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc make it light, crisp, and dangerously repeatable.
MugiWhat even is that, the hop avengers? I just pictured three tiny green pellets kicking down my taste buds!
Hop BroBasically, they're the aroma team. One leans herbal, one brings elegant floral notes, and one nudges in a white-grape vibe, so it stays easy without getting boring.
MugiOkay, I think I got it! Then Sour IPA Strawberry & Raspberry from Isekadoya Brewery is sour and IPA at the same time? That's a busy little glass.
Hop BroExactly, and that's the point. That pink haze pour brings berry tartness first, then citrus and passionfruit-like hop aroma, plus enough bitterness to keep it from turning into juice.
MugiSo it's not dessert in disguise! And then Isekadoya Brewery x Pomona Island's Nekojima is a yuzu Hazy Double IPA? Cute name, heavyweight resume!
Hop BroYep, but that yuzu-hazy finish is the trick. It looks like orange juice, layers yuzu with mango and orange-like hop character, and still drinks lighter than it looks. Honestly, I want that now.
MugiWith 16 taps and house-smoked food, the full tasting route is basically calling my name. Lager to reset, sour to flip the mood, yuzu hazy to close it out... let's go drink.
Craft Beer Spot Hathor is a Kyobashi beer pub in Osaka known for 16 taps and house-smoked food. In this tap update, the lineup spans a classic lager, a collaboration beer, a fruit-forward sour IPA, and a hazy double IPA, giving drinkers several very different paths to choose from.
On tap
- Yebisu / Sapporo Beer
A long-aged classic brewed with 100% malt. It opens with a clean golden appearance and a rounded finish, making it an easy first pint.
- Kyobashi Helles - Suspended Sentence / T.Y. Harbor x Hathor
A faux Helles brewed with Nugget, Saaz, and Hallertau Blanc. It is built to be crisp, approachable, and highly drinkable.
- Sour IPA Strawberry & Raspberry / Isekadoya Beer
Bright berry acidity meets hop notes that suggest citrus and passion fruit. The pink-hued haze adds visual appeal to a beer that balances fruit character and bitterness.
- Nekojima / Isekadoya Beer x Pomona Island
A yuzu-infused Hazy Double IPA. The beer shows a juice-like hazy look, with yuzu aroma layered over mango and orange-like hop notes, finishing softer and lighter than the style might suggest.
Hathor’s appeal lies in having different beer styles side by side, so a drinker can build a small tasting journey in one stop. Start with a lager, shift to something tart, then finish with a citrusy hazy beer. The house-smoked dishes add another layer, making the tap list feel even more deliberate for beer fans.
