RAKU BEER lines up nine taps, from Hiroshima to nationwide craft brews
RAKU BEER in Hiroshima's Mikkamachi has posted a nine-beer tap list featuring local breweries alongside labels from across Japan, including HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING, Ise Kadoya Brewery, and WEST COAST BREWING.
Hop BroRAKU BEER in Hiroshima has nine taps lined up today, with everyone from HIROSHIMA NEIGHBORLY BREWING to WEST COAST BREWING sharing the same bar.
MugiWait, local and national beers in one stop? And it's only five minutes from Hatchobori? That is dangerously convenient.
Hop BroThe smart place to start is the local duo: Daigorei Sakekasu SOUR ALE -Ichika- for sweet-tart character, and Lemoble GO HIROSHIMA, a hometown golden ale with bright energy.
MugiWhat even is a sake lees sour ale? Is it beer? Is it sake? My brain just tried to pour both at once.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Sake lees aroma gets layered into the sour ale, so you get crisp acidity plus soft fruitiness like Ichika, with a slightly Japanese dessert kind of vibe.
MugiOoh, dessert-like beer suddenly makes this feel way less scary. I could order that and immediately pretend I know exactly what I'm doing.
Hop BroThen you slide into CHORYO Craft Beer's NARA CRASH lager, move to ISEKADOYA's Electro Squash Sour IPA, and then hit WEST COAST BREWING's Full Hop Alchemist r1 -2026- for a hazy DIPA sequence that really flows.
MugiSeriously, Hazy DIPA sounds like an anime finishing move. Do I level up after drinking it, or just start talking to the ceiling?
Hop BroMostly the second one. It's basically a cloudy aroma bomb, a stronger IPA with huge hop character. And after that, you've still got Daisen G Beer's fresh-hop side, NUDE BEER's wood-aged saison with citrus, GRANDLINE BREWING's VERY VERY BERRY, and Heartland to finish clean.
MugiAnd they also have lemon sours, highballs, and meat? That's full meal drinking right there. The one-drink plan is already dead.
Hop BroExactly. You start with Hiroshima character, tour the national heavy hitters in the middle, and land with Heartland. That's a proper comparison-drinking route built into one visit.
MugiThen it's settled! My first pint crisis is whether to start with Ichika or Lemoble GO HIROSHIMA, which probably means we end up ordering both.
