Hop BroHere's Namba Sennichimae's 9 taps centered on Osaka local beers from café&beer Aruka→Aruka, announced on April 25. It's a lineup built around local breweries, and it's a lot of fun to compare the beers side by side.
MugiWhoa, 9 taps! Just hearing all local breweries makes me excited. Is Osaka craft beer really that diverse?
Hop BroThe star at Aruka→Aruka is the beer that bears the shop's name, 13 Red Ale / Session Red IPA. It's a collaboration with One's Brewery, and it balances a reddish malt character with an easygoing drinkability.
MugiSession Red IPA? What is that! A light, easy-drinking red IPA? It's red but easy to drink? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroExactly. "Session" generally means lower-alcohol and easier to drink. It keeps the IPA hop character while avoiding too much heft in the alcohol, so it's a good first glass.
MugiI see! There are also things like Ikeda Mikan Wit, and just the names sound delicious. I want to try the one with that soft citrus aroma!
Hop BroGood eye. CRAFT BEER BASE's Ikeda Mikan Wit is a Belgian wit style, so it tends to have citrus and spice notes. Add Sake Ale and Black IPA, and the lineup's direction gets really broad.
MugiWait, there's even Sake Ale!? My brain is getting all floaty now - is it beer or sake? And they even have stout, that's classy!
Hop BroA beer like Banri no Haru Shuzo's Sake Ale gets more interesting the moment a Japanese nuance is added. With Minoh Beer's Osaru IPA and STOUT, plus MARCA BREWING's Black IPA, both hop fans and roast fans are covered.
MugiAnd if they have PUNK IPA and Heartland too, it's nice that there are solid entry points! It doesn't feel intimidating, so anyone can pick something easily.
Hop BroWhat's more, the food is great too. As dishes tailored to beer, there's house-made liver paste, fried cartilage, and even mimiga with cilantro, so there are too many reasons to drink.
MugiI'm completely convinced...! It feels like the kind of place you'd want to stop at as your first stop in Namba. Today I want to enjoy both beer and food all at once!
