Maruho Saketen Kujo Honten Announces New Arrivals from Japan and Abroad, Including Yamabushi and Totopia
Maruho Saketen Kujo Honten in Kujo, Osaka, highlighted its latest lineup, focusing mainly on arrivals from domestic breweries. The selection includes Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Yamabushi" along with Totopia, MAHOWBREW, Farmentry, and Amakuuku, while also mentioning arrivals from Pizza Port and El Segundo.
Hop BroMaruho Saketen Kujo Honten in Osaka’s Kujo has finally put out a solid batch of domestic brewery arrivals after a while. With the stream of imported-beer updates continuing up to now, this kind of switch-up is exciting, right?
MugiWait, so it’s not just imported stuff, but the domestic lineup is strong too!? That’s the kind of display that would make you want everything when you see it in the shop!
Hop BroExactly. And the headline item is Shiga Kogen Beer’s Yamabushi. There’s even a note that six bottles were opened at the standing bar in one day, so you can really feel how hot the demand is.
MugiSix bottles is impressive! But what does "opened" even mean? You just threw in a tough word out of nowhere!
Hop BroSimply put, it means they popped the cap and served it. So basically it’s being drunk a lot in the shop, which is proof that it’s really popular there.
MugiI get it! If Totopia and MAHOWBREW are on the shelf too, that alone is enough to get me excited!
Hop BroWhat’s especially interesting is Farmentry’s Yayaoi and NZ Pils. Pilsners are light and easy to drink, and when something has "NZ" in the name, it often brings a little extra character from the hops.
MugiPilsners are the crisp type, right? Add some hop character on top of that and it suddenly sounds like a flavor for advanced drinkers!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Shiga Kogen Beer also has Kind of Gold and Habanero IPA, while Amakuuku has Pom! and Moe. The range is pretty wide, from thick hop presence to apple- or lemon-like notes.
MugiIf there are notes of apple and lemon too, it’s fun to pick based on your mood today! I can’t decide whether to go for something sharp and dry or something gentler.
Hop BroPlus, Maruho Saketen Kujo Honten has standing-bar service on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so the ability to try before you choose is a real advantage. Shops like this make the whole way you meet a beer taste better, too.
MugiI can’t take it anymore, now I want a drink! I want to start with a standing-bar pint and work my way through them from Yamabushi onward!
