Nagoya's GRILLMAN announces July 10 opening with KAMIKATZ Pale Ale and red-apple hard cider
Japan Craft Beer & Wine GRILLMAN in Nagoya's Nishiki district announced a 3:00 p.m. opening on July 10. The shop's Instagram post highlights two new pours: KAMIKATZ Pale Ale and a hard cider made from Fuji apples.
Hop BroI can't ignore the 3 p.m. opening today: Japan Craft Beer&Wine GRILLMAN in Nishiki, Nagoya is tapping two fresh pours.
MugiWhat! Drinking from 3 p.m. sounds dangerous in the best way. And GRILLMAN does cider and wine too, right?
Hop BroExactly, first up is KAMIKATZ PALE ALE. It's a pale ale from KAMIKATZ with malt sweetness, caramel notes, and a floral aroma that leans almost tea-like.
MugiNo way! Tea-like aroma in a beer? So this is beer wearing a fancy afternoon-tea outfit?
Hop BroNot actual tea, more like an aroma nuance. It's supposed to be smooth and mellow, so it sounds perfect for a first glass.
Hop BroThen there's Kougyoku SINGLE VARIETAL, a hard cider from Green Neighbors Hard Cider. It's made only with Kougyoku apples, so I'd expect bright acidity and a crisp fruit snap.
MugiHold on, single varietal sounds like a spell from a wizard tavern. What does it actually mean?
Hop BroIt just means made from one variety. Since this is all Kougyoku, the apple character should come through clean and sharp.
MugiOkay, now I get it. Great with grilled food too, right? Pale ale with the meal, then cider to reset my mouth like a pro.
Hop BroThat's exactly why the side-by-side sounds dangerous. On a hot day, starting at 3 and rolling straight into dinner sounds very hard to resist.
Japan Craft Beer & Wine GRILLMAN, a beer pub in Nagoya's Nishiki district, announced a July 10 opening at 3:00 p.m. The bar sits in the Transit Building 1F in central Nagoya and is known for serving domestic craft beer, cider, and Japanese wine in a casual, food-friendly setting.
In the Instagram post, GRILLMAN introduced two new additions for the weekend. The lineup fits the bar's style well: beers and cider that can be enjoyed on their own or alongside grilled dishes.
New pours
- KAMIKATZ Pale Ale / KAMIKATZ
A pale ale described as having grain sweetness, toasty caramel notes, and a tea-like floral character, with a smooth and rounded drinking impression.
- Red Apple SINGLE VARIETAL / Green Neighbors Hard Cider
A hard cider brewed only from red apples, with vivid acidity and a firm, crisp fruit profile.
GRILLMAN's appeal is its flexibility: it is as suitable for an early evening beer as it is for a full meal. With craft beer, cider, and wine on offer, the shop gives beer lovers a place to compare different styles without leaving the same bar. On a hot July day, the contrast between a fragrant pale ale and a bright, refreshing cider should make for an easy and satisfying stop.
