CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Shiga Kogen Beer’s Sono Ju in Kyobashi
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka’s Kyobashi district announced one new draft pour: Shiga Kogen Beer’s Sono Ju. The lineup also spans Sapporo Black Label, Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose, and a wide mix of Japanese and imported kegs.
Hop BroKyobashi is calling today: at Craft Beer Spot Hathor, Shiga Kogen Beer's Sono Ju on tap is getting a one-keg opening from 5 p.m. on Wednesday. That's a very convincing detour.
MugiWait, what is Sono Ju? That name sounds like a beer that only appears after your ninth glass, and I'm already scared!
Hop BroIt has that milestone aura, and the hot part is Hathor is tapping just one keg. This place is strong because of its 16-tap range, from Sapporo Black Label to imported drafts.
MugiNo way, from Black Label upward to import taps too? That's not a lineup, that's a beer amusement park.
Hop BroAnd the list is stacked: Minoh Beer's Plum Gose, Shonan Beer's Summer Orange Ale, Shimanami Brewery's First Lager, and Shiga Kogen's from scratch Real Ale ver. It runs from gose to lager in one stop.
MugiHold on, Real Ale ver? That sounds like the beer is filing paperwork to prove it's authentic.
Hop BroReal ale basically means you're getting gentler natural carbonation and that fresh-poured character. Less aggressive fizz, more soft aroma, and it pairs really well with food.
MugiOhhh, and Hathor is known for house-smoked plates, right? Soft carbonation plus smoked food feels unfairly powerful.
Hop BroExactly. They were even thinking up new bak kut teh ingredients, and the rest of the taps go wild too: Nomcraft x Choryo's Wine Knot?, Hideji's Kuri Kuro, and Firestone Walker's berry-heavy stuff. It's fruity to dark with no dead zone.
MugiSo the move is to start with Sono Ju, get the full picture, then dig deeper on glass two? I want to go now, and my feet are already trying to leave without me.
Hop BroThat's the right play. On a day like this, the first pint maps the territory, then the second pint gets personal. My first-glass strategy starts with Sono Ju.
MugiSold. This is a dangerously drinkable plan, and now I want Sono Ju, a gose, and maybe Kuri Kuro with smoked snacks immediately.
