Hop BroALE HOUSE Kamiya in Doyama-cho, Osaka has just tapped REC CIDER BEER WORKS’ new “Buntan Cider” release. Citrus fans should take notice.
MugiWhoa, that name already sounds refreshing! Is a cider instead of beer basically a sweet juice drink?
Hop BroIt starts with fermented apples from Fukushima. As a hard cider, it has fruit-driven acidity and a crisp alcoholic finish—not just sweetness.
MugiNice! And it has Tosa buntan peel and juice too? That fruit basket is getting seriously rowdy!
Hop BroBuntan is added late in fermentation, then grapefruit joins in. The key is two kinds of citrus layered over the apple base.
MugiBut wait—Talus-hopped with dry hopping suddenly sounds like a spell. What does that mean?
Hop BroDry hopping means steeping hops after fermentation to add aroma. Talus contributes citrus-like fragrance and a light, lively bitterness.
MugiSo hops are the aroma specialist! Apple, buntan, grapefruit, and hops—that’s a very crowded cast!
Hop BroYet apple remains the lead. Its bright fruitiness meets elegant buntan, zippy grapefruit, and a refreshing hop-driven edge.
MugiIt sounds great with food! A rich bite followed by a clean, light bitterness could make me keep snacking forever!
Hop BroKamiya is on B1 of the K1 Building; it opens 5 p.m.–5 a.m. on weekdays and 3 p.m.–5 a.m. on weekends. Check its daily Stories for availability.
MugiLet’s go to Doyama-cho for a citrus-forward hard cider! Hop-bro, I want to smell that buntan for myself!
Hop BroDeal! Let’s raise a glass to “Buntan Cider” at Kamiya. I’m already craving those apple-and-citrus aromas.
ALE HOUSE Kamiya in Osaka’s Doyama district has newly tapped “Buntan Cider” from REC CIDER BEER WORKS.
The hard cider starts with apples from Fukushima Prefecture. During the later stage of fermentation, the cider is blended with the peel and juice of Tosa buntan, a Japanese citrus fruit. It is then dry-hopped with Talus hops, followed by the addition of grapefruit to intensify its citrus aroma and flavor.
The result combines the floral, fruity character of apples with the refreshing citrus notes of buntan and grapefruit. Talus hops add a bright aroma and a clean bitterness, giving the drink a crisp, easy-drinking finish. It should appeal to guests looking for a fruit-forward drink with more hop character than a conventional cider.
