El Hori in Kameari Adds VERTERE's Heliconia and Nara Brewing Collab Tifana
Craft Beer & Tacos El Hori in Kameari, Tokyo, has added two Japanese craft beers from VERTERE: the new Hazy IPA Heliconia and Tifana, a modern pilsner made in collaboration with Nara Brewing. The tacos-focused pub offers a food-friendly way to enjoy both.
Hop BroKameari just got a serious drop, and El Hori's new arrivals are looking strong. They've got VERTERE's new "Heliconia" and "Tifana," a collab with Nara Brewing.
MugiWait, tacos and craft beer together, and the two beers have totally different personalities? Okay, now I'm listening!
Hop BroFirst up, Tifana is a modern pilsner. It keeps that easy-drinking pilsner feel, but the Nara Brewing collab gives it extra character. It's 1,630 yen a glass and sounds great with tacos.
MugiOoh, but what makes it modern? When I hear pilsner, I just think crisp, cold, and chuggable.
Hop BroIt's built on a pilsner base, but the hop aroma feels more current and expressive. So you still get that lager drinkability, just with more personality than plain clean bitterness.
MugiGot it, so it's a pilsner with upgrades! That sounds dangerously good with tacos. My snack hand would never get a break.
Hop BroThen there's Heliconia, VERTERE's new hazy IPA. It's 1,780 yen, and this one is all about juicy character and a deep, layered aroma.
Mugi"Layered aroma"? What does that even mean? Why are you describing beer like it's a fluffy blanket?
Hop BroThis is where hazy IPA gets fun. A lot of that comes from dry-hop character, which pushes tropical aromatics forward. Basically, one sip and your brain goes, "Wait, was that fruit juice?"
MugiSo the move is Tifana first, make friends with the tacos, and then bring in Heliconia for the full aroma traffic jam. That's a perfect plan!
Hop BroExactly, and the drinking order is part of the beauty. Start light and crisp with Tifana, then let Heliconia take over when you're ready for maximum aroma.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. I want to run to Kameari and do the full taco-and-two-beer combo right now!
Craft Beer & Tacos El Hori, located at 3-11-6 Kameari in Katsushika, Tokyo, is currently pouring two Japanese craft beers: Heliconia from VERTERE, based in Okutama, and Tifana, a collaboration beer with Nara Brewing.
- Tifana: a modern pilsner collaboration with Nara Brewing, priced at 1,630 yen.
- Heliconia: VERTERE's new hazy IPA, priced at 1,780 yen.
Tifana is presented as an easy-drinking pilsner with a collaborative twist, which makes it a natural match for a tacos-led bar like El Hori. Heliconia, by contrast, is the more aromatic and juicy option, giving beer drinkers a chance to shift from a crisp, food-friendly pint to something built around hop character.
El Hori is a beer pub built around Japanese craft beer and tacos, so this lineup works on two levels: it can accompany the food, or it can stand on its own as a small tasting of current Japanese craft styles. For anyone tracking what is being poured in Kameari, this is a useful update.
