Hop BroALE HOUSE Kamiya in Doyamacho, Osaka, has just tapped a new oyster stout: Iwate Kura Beer’s “Sanriku Hirota Bay Oyster Stout.”
MugiWhat? Oysters in dark beer!? Does it taste like the ocean just cannonballed into the glass?
Hop BroThat’s the clever part—the oyster flavor does not overpower it. Oyster meat and shells from Sanriku Hirota Bay add depth to the roastiness.
MugiEven the shells!? Wait, this is not a seashell-in-my-glass situation, right?
Hop BroNope—the shells are used during brewing. Their minerals help fermentation, basically yeast’s quiet support crew.
MugiSo the yeast is working harder because it hears, “Go, yeast, go!”? A cheer squad for yeast—I love it!
Hop BroPretty much! It is an Irish-style oyster stout, with rich roasted malt character followed by a crisp, clean finish.
MugiRich but refreshing? That is dark beer’s double act! It sounds perfect for a cooler evening.
Hop BroKamiya also serves its signature fried chicken and game dishes, making this a great food-pairing beer in its relaxed basement pub.
MugiFried chicken, game, and oyster stout—what a full-on appetite parade! We should check the official Story for the tap list and reservations first.
Hop BroA dark beer with subtle oyster depth, roasty complexity, and easy drinkability—now I’m craving a Doyamacho toast tonight.
MugiMe too! Let’s thank the yeast cheer squad and go raise a stout toast!
ALE HOUSE Kamiya, a beer pub in Osaka’s Doyama district, has newly tapped Sanriku Hirota Bay Oyster Stout from Iwate Kura Beer.
The stout is brewed with both the shells and meat of oysters harvested in Hirota Bay, Sanriku, Iwate. It is a revival and recreation of the traditional Irish oyster stout style. According to the brewery’s description, the shells help support fermentation, while the oyster meat adds depth to the dark beer.
The beer offers the richness expected from a stout, but finishes cleanly rather than heavily. Its appeal lies in the balance between roasted malt character, depth, and a refreshing finish, allowing drinkers to enjoy it with food as well as on its own. The stout should be a fitting choice for the cooler early-autumn season.
ALE HOUSE Kamiya is located in the basement of the K1 Building in Doyama, Osaka. The beer pub serves a broad selection including craft beer, real ale, and imported beers, alongside popular dishes such as Kamiya-style fried chicken and game meat cuisine. The new oyster stout can be enjoyed in a relaxed pub setting with a meal or as part of a wider tasting session.
The pub updates its current beer lineup through its official social media stories. Guests should contact the venue in advance to confirm availability and make reservations.
