Hop BroToday's topic is the guest tap of Beer House Hobbit on March 19: "Touchdown Kiyosato Lager."
MugiWhoa, that sounds interesting. What kind of lager is it?
Hop BroIt's a beer from Yatsugatake Brewery, and its appeal is a clear bitterness with a crisp finish. You can tell why they're recommending a big glass for the first beer.
MugiNice! I like the crisp style. It sounds like a taste that hits after work!
Hop BroAnd the ingredients are interesting too: it uses Rihoku Rice Koshihikari from Yamanashi, so it's basically a rice-lager design.
MugiWhat? Does rice-lager design mean it tastes like rice balls?
Hop BroNo, no. The idea is to use rice to make the mouthfeel lighter and bring out the crispness of the carbonation - in other words, a technique to sharpen the drinking experience.
MugiI see! By the way, I heard there are private booking hours that day?
Hop BroOn March 19, it's private from 18:00 to 21:30, and regular service is from 17:00 to 18:00 and 21:30 to 24:00. Plus there are tacos, mature hen, and tempura, making the beer-comparison route perfect.
MugiYou can go for a pre-party stop or late at night! Tonight's first drink is Kiyosato Lager for sure, let's go, Hop bro!
Beer pub Beer House Hobbit in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture, has published its business hours and taps for March 19, 2026. The highlight is the tapping of Yatsugatake Brewery's "Touchdown Kiyosato Lager".
In the post, it is described as something you would want to drink in a large glass as your first beer, and it is introduced as having a clear, crisp finish, plus firm bitterness and a sharp carbonation bite. Brewed with Rihoku Rice Koshihikari, a branded rice from Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture, it stands out for the suggestion that it pairs well with the first drink of the day.
On Thursday, March 19, 18:00 to 21:30 is a private booking. Meanwhile, 17:00 to 18:00 and 21:30 to 24:00 are regular service hours, so it is easy to stop in for a pre-party drink or a late-night visit.
The day's draft lineup is, very much in Hobbit style, a mix of local character and distinctive choices. From an in-house collaboration lager to a fruity apple-style beer, an easy-drinking white, and a full-bodied barley wine, there is plenty to enjoy in side-by-side tasting. The food lineup includes tacos, grilled mature hen, and tempura of Brussels sprouts and Daikoku hon-shimeji mushrooms, with dishes tuned to the beer's aromas and flavors.
With a station-close lineup that naturally carries you from one drink to the next, this is a spot to keep in mind for a day when you want to seriously enjoy craft beer in Hirakata.
