Hop BroKyobashi just got interesting. Hathor's 16 taps now include Shiga Kogen Beer's 'Sono Ju.'
MugiWhat! A name like Sono Ju sounds like a final boss. What kind of beer is that?
Hop BroThat's what makes it fun. The article puts Shiga Kogen's Sono Ju in the spotlight, with lagers, gose, and real ale building out the rest of the lineup.
MugiWait, what? Gose and real ale already sound like spell names to me.
Hop BroGose is bright and refreshing with a little tartness and salinity, while real ale is soft cask-style beer with gentler carbonation.
MugiOhh, nice! So you start easy with something like First Lager, then work your way into the deeper stuff?
Hop BroExactly. After that, Minoh Beer's Plum Gose or Shiga Kogen's 'from scratch Real Ale ver' really opens up the flavor range.
MugiAnd Hathor is known for house-smoked snacks, right? That is absolutely beer demanding a sidekick.
Hop BroYep. That smoky character works with dark beer like Kurikuro and fruity pours like Primal Elements, so it's the kind of place where your first glass shows you the whole map.
MugiGot it, so in Kyobashi it's one to remember if you want to keep up with rotating taps. Now I seriously want a drink.
Hop BroThen it's settled. We start with Sono Ju, raise a glass, and let the tap crawl begin.
MugiI'm in! After hearing about smoked bites and beer, my brain is already halfway to Kyobashi.
