The beer pub Beer Space On Tap in Kobe's Motomachi announced a new tap opening on May 8. Y.MARKET BREWING's "HOPPING SHACHI" has arrived, offering fruity hop aroma, assertive bitterness, and a crisp finish.
Hop BroMugi-chan, HOPPING SHACHI has been tapped at Beer Space On Tap in Kobe's Motomachi. It's from Y.MARKET BREWING, and this one really leans into the hops.
MugiWhoa! Even the name sounds intense! A shachi that's hoppy? It's like a sea beast turned into beer?
Hop BroExactly. It's an AMERICAN STYLE PILSNER with 5.5% ABV and an IBU of 34. Think of it as pilsner lightness with American hop aroma layered on top.
MugiIBU 34? So that's the bitterness number?
Hop BroThat's right. Roughly speaking, it's a measure of bitterness. 34 is not insanely aggressive, but it still lands in the range where you can clearly feel the firm bitterness.
MugiI see! And it says fruity aroma, so it's not just bitter.
Hop BroYep. The post highlights the fruity hop character and the clean finish. It's not flashy or super rich; instead, it finishes with a nice snap, so it should pair well with food either before or after a meal.
MugiNice! If it's easy to pair with food, it sounds like it'd go great with fried chicken or fries!
Hop BroAnd Beer Space On Tap is a hidden-gem beer pub in the B1F of Kobe Plaza Hotel, so it's a great place to relax and drink. The taps change quickly there too, so if you spot it, you should go for it early.
MugiNow I want to go right away! The phrase "one drink in Motomachi" sounds unbeatable.
Hop BroThen tonight, let's raise a glass with a crisp, clean pint while checking out the hop aroma.
MugiAgreed! Let's go drink HOPPING SHACHI!
