Wakyo. goes on tap at torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka; pairing event set for April 11
The beer pub torne_craftbeer in Sakaemachi, Kita Ward, Osaka, updated its April 10 service announcement. One new keg was tapped: "Wakyo.", a collaboration with NOMCRAFT Brewing. A beer-and-cheese pairing event is also scheduled for April 11.
Hop BroThere’s a new tap opening at the Tenroku beer pub torne_craftbeer. This time it’s Wakyo. / 和響., a collaboration with NOMCRAFT Brewing, that just got tapped.
MugiWhoa, Wakyo. sounds intense just from the name! It feels like some seriously Japanese-style beer, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroIt’s a Japanese Sour Ale. They combine mandarin orange peel, sake yeast, and white koji, so it comes across with a bright, refreshing acidity.
MugiWait, hold on, sake yeast and white koji in beer? My brain is holding a flavor meeting right now!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. The yeast brings in a fermented character, and the white koji helps push the tartness and sharp finish forward. Add in the mandarin orange peel aroma, and it becomes something crisp that seems perfect for a rainy day.
MugiOhhh! So if you drink it on a damp day, it’ll probably refresh your mood too.
Hop BroAnd the current lineup is fun too. It spans everything from sours to tea lambic, with beers like Borrowed Thyme. and Shima the Citrus Kaiju. that make you want to compare and sample across the board.
MugiWhat is that, a traffic jam of a lineup?! This sounds like the kind of place where one pint definitely won’t be enough.
Hop BroThe food is good too. Today’s otoshi is atsuage simmered in dashi, which makes it easy to relax and drink slowly with Japanese-style snacks, and that’s very much part of torne_craftbeer’s character.
MugiAnd they’re even holding a beer and cheese event on April 11, right? Hearing that makes me want to drink Wakyo. and snack on cheese at the same time!
Hop BroExactly. You won’t want to miss the pairing event on April 11 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you hear the lecture and then drink Wakyo., you’ll probably end up wanting both cheese and beer today and tomorrow.
On an April 10 post, the beer pub torne_craftbeer in the Tenjinbashisuji Rokuchome area of Osaka announced one new tap opening.
The beer added to the taps this time is Wakyo. / 和響.. A collaboration between Choryo Shuzo and NOMCRAFT Brewing, it is a Japanese Sour Ale made with mandarin orange peel, sake yeast, and white koji. In the post, it is introduced as a beer with a refreshing tartness, and it looks like a perfect fit for a drink on a rainy, humid day.
The current lineup also includes a wide range of beers from Japan and abroad, such as Borrowed Thyme. and 1978. from Novel Craft Brewing, Doron. and Shima the Citrus Kaiju. from Himitsu Beer, Hematite nitro ver. from Bighand Bros.Beer, Interiority 2025 Coconut. from Trap Door Brewing, Vinohradská 12., Hop Chopper., and Lapsang Souchong Tea Lambiek. Styles range from sour and nitro to coconut beers and tea lambic, making it an appealing lineup for tasting side by side.
On the food side, today's otoshi is atsuage simmered in dashi. It is easy to enjoy the beer slowly while pairing it with Japanese-style snacks. True to its identity as a beer pub, the shop also has an atmosphere centered on beer and music, making it a place that works just as well for an everyday pint as it does for a long, leisurely drinking session.
In addition, on April 11 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., the shop plans to hold "Beer and Cheese Pairing -ビールとチーズのペアリング-". This study session will be led by an Advanced Cicerone® instructor, and the participation fee is 5,000 yen for the lecture, plus the cost of food and drink at the venue. The post, which paired a tap list update with an event announcement, was a timely snapshot of what torne_craftbeer is like right now.
