Triangle in Minatogawa, Kobe Introduces Four Labels from NAMI NO OTO BREWING
Craft beer shop Triangle in Minatogawa, Kobe, introduced four labels from NAMI NO OTO BREWING on Instagram. The lineup includes distinctive beers using Awaji Island ingredients, coffee beans, and herbs, matching the shop's casual kakuuchi-style atmosphere.
Hop BroThe four standout picks at Triangle in Minatogawa, with those unique NAMI NO OTO BREWING beers lined up, make this feel like the kind of place you want to drop into with a kakuuchi mindset.
MugiWow! Seeing that much variety in one shop is impressive. Up to 8 draft taps sounds pretty serious, doesn't it?
Hop BroExactly. And first up, circle is a melon IPA, a juicy IPA packed with Awaji Island melon. The fruitiness layers with hops, and the mouthfeel is super juicy.
MugiWhat! Juicy, as in the beer turns into something like fruit juice? And that IBU 25 number is weirdly interesting too!
Hop BroGood question. IBU is a guide to bitterness, and 25 leans more toward easy-drinking than punchy. Then old rookie is a DH sake yeast ale, meaning it brings out the nuances of sake yeast.
MugiOh, wow. Hearing sake yeast makes it sound like it would pair with Japanese food right away. So banana and apple aromas can make it that fruity?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. still dreaming2 is an ordinary bitter, but the Awaji Island herbs really stand out. With grassy aromas and mild bitterness, it’s made for slow sipping.
MugiWait, a bitter beer you can sip slowly? It sounds kind of stern, but hearing a low 4.0% makes it seem suddenly gentle!
Hop BroAnd TAKAMURA ROASTERS IPA is a juicy IPA made with lightly roasted coffee beans, where coffee aroma and fruity hops sit side by side. The sweet finish is the kind of detail that’s hard to resist.
MugiThat sounds amazing! If fruit, rice, herbs, and coffee can taste this different, then tasting side by side would be way too fun. If they were all lined up at Triangle, I’d be stuck deciding forever!
Hop BroThe time spent deciding is fun too. You can also take it home by the pour, so if you like something in the shop, you can keep following it at home. This is definitely the kind of lineup that makes you want to have a pint right away.
MugiYeah, first we’ll toast at the shop, and if we like it, we’ll keep going at home too! Let's add one more drink tonight!
