BEER SPACE on Tap posts seven-beer tap list featuring Junos Pandemic
BEER SPACE on Tap, a beer pub in Motomachi, Kobe, updated its Instagram on June 12 with a seven-beer tap list led by SOUTH HORIZON BREWING’s Junos Pandemic. The lineup spans a yuzu gose, stout, pils, and IPA styles.
Hop BroToday's topic is Beer Space On Tap in Motomachi, Kobe. Their June 12 tap list rolled out seven kegs in that calm old-school basement pub inside Kobe Plaza Hotel.
MugiWait, seven beers on tap? That's not a quick stop after work, that's a full-on decision crisis!
Hop BroThe headliner is SOUTH HORIZON BREWING's Junos Pandemic, a yuzu gose at 3.5% ABV, and it even took gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025.
MugiGo... gose? That's a wizard spell to me. We are still talking about beer, right?
Hop BroVery much beer. Think of it as a salty sour ale with Kochi yuzu and sun-dried sea salt, so it's tart, bright, and super refreshing.
MugiWhoa, and it says IBU 15. Is that the bitterness score, or am I about to be quizzed?
Hop BroExactly, it's a bitterness yardstick. At 15, it's pretty gentle, so no face-scrunching bitter shock.
MugiThen that sounds perfect for the first glass! But now Caramel Honey Stout is calling my name like dessert in a pint.
Hop BroThat's the smart part of this list: pils to IPA to stout and sour, with Edelpils, 1926, Shirokujichu, KESENNUMA PRIDE, and Lockheart giving you room to build a great order.
MugiAnd it's one minute from Motomachi Station, plus Japan vs Tunisia on screen? That is how a quiet drink turns into a whole night.
Hop BroWith counter seats and standing room, it's a place where start to finish drinking makes sense. I'd open with the yuzu and land on the stout.
MugiNo further discussion, I want a pint now. Let's toast with Junos Pandemic and argue lovingly over the second round.
BEER SPACE on Tap, a beer pub tucked into the basement level of a hotel in Motomachi, Kobe, posted its daily tap list on Instagram on June 12. The bar is located in the B1 floor of Kobe Plaza Hotel, about a minute from Motomachi Station. It has a calm, old-fashioned feel, with counter seating and a small standing area, making it an easy stop for a drink after work or before dinner.
The featured beer in this post was SOUTH HORIZON BREWING / Junos Pandemic. The bar described it as a gose brewed with yuzu from Kochi and sun-dried salt, at 3.5% ABV and 15 IBU. The post also noted that it won gold at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025 and bronze in 2024. The beer is positioned as a bright, lightly salty sour beer with a clear citrus character.
The rest of the tap list was:
- HIROSHIMA NOH BREWERY / Caramel Honey Stout
- KUNITACHI BREWERY / 1926
- Free Spirits Brewing / Lockheart
- Edelpils
- KUNITACHI BREWERY / 四六時中
- BLACK TIDE BREWING / KESENNUMA PRIDE
Taken together, the lineup covers a wide range of beer moods, from tart and bright to dark and malty, with pils and IPA territory in between. That kind of spread fits the bar’s compact, quiet setting well: it is the sort of place where you can start with something crisp and move into a richer pour without leaving your seat.
The post also mentioned a broadcast of the World Cup match between Japan and Tunisia on June 21, suggesting the bar is also setting itself up as a place to watch the game with a pint in hand.
