RAKU BEER in Hiroshima taps Indo no Aooni and Peach Weizen on Aug. 30
RAKU BEER, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Mikawa-machi, posted its Aug. 30 tap update. Yo-Ho Brewing's Indo no Aooni and Minoh Beer's Peach Weizen were newly tapped, alongside a 17-beer lineup that makes for an easy beer-through-the-afternoon stop.
Hop BroToday’s topic is RAKU BEER’s tap list in Hiroshima. On August 30 they’ve got 17 beers on draft, and the two fresh tappings are Oni no Aooni and Peach Weizen.
MugiWait, 17 beers on tap is basically a festival, right!? If they’re open nonstop from noon, that sounds like a direct invitation to do a tasting flight!
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. Yona Yona Ale’s Oni no Aooni is an IPA built around bold bitterness and hop character, so it really hits if you want something punchy.
MugiHold on, hop character up front means what exactly? Not just bitter, but like a whoosh up your nose too?
Hop BroExactly. Hop aroma often gives citrusy or herbal notes, and with IPA the fun is that layered bitterness and aroma working together. Sometimes it’s less whoosh and more fireworks.
MugiFireworks is a lot! So then Peach Weizen is the opposite vibe, right? Softer and easiergoing?
Hop BroRight. Minoh Beer’s Peach Weizen is a seasonal fruit beer, and its charm is the soft white peach aroma paired with that fluffy, gentle weizen feel.
MugiOh wow! But every time I hear weizen, it still sounds like some kind of magic spell to me!
Hop BroIt’s a wheat-beer style, so the texture tends to be smoother and softer. And RAKU BEER also has Helles, stout, amber ale, and W-IPA, so you can roam from lagers to IPAs depending on your mood.
MugiAnd they’ve got lemon hot pot and sausage platters too? That’s an endless eat-and-drink loop! I want to wake up with Aooni and then melt into Peach Weizen.
Hop BroThat order is pretty much perfect. Even the upcoming keg swaps sound fun, so doing a slow afternoon round and then sneaking in one last pint sounds ideal.
MugiThat settles it. I want to teleport to Hiroshima and order my first glass right now!
RAKU BEER, a beer pub in Hiroshima's Mikawa-machi, opened from noon with no break on this day. The post announced two new taps: Indo no Aooni from Yo-Ho Brewing and Peach Weizen from Minoh Beer.
What stands out
The day's now-on-tap list spans 17 beers, covering weizen, helles, pilsner, bitter lager, witbier, amber ale, stout, fruit beer, and IPA. That makes the lineup broad enough for a tasting session: crisp lagers, hop-forward ales, and fruit-driven beers are all represented.
The two new taps move in opposite directions. Indo no Aooni brings the bitter, hop-driven side of IPA, while Peach Weizen is a seasonal fruit beer built around Japanese white peach, giving it a soft aroma and a refreshing finish. Together, they create a clear contrast that beer drinkers can follow glass by glass.
