Elhori in Kameari introduces four Hop Kotan beers
Elhori, a beer pub in Kameari, Tokyo, highlighted four beers from Hop Kotan in Furano, Hokkaido: a Mexican lager, a Dortmund-style beer, a Cold IPA, and a Hazy IPA, with tacos in mind.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about the four HOP KOTAN beers now pouring at Kameari's "Kokusan Craft Beer to Tacos El Joli."
MugiWhat! A brewery from Furano, Hokkaido showing up at a taco spot in Kameari ? That pairing already sounds dangerous for my appetite!
Hop BroThe lineup is sharp: `kimi` is a Mexican lager, `広目天麦酒` is a Dortmunder, `青嵐` is a Cold IPA, and `ミスティウェイ` is a Hazy IPA, a four-style showcase if I've ever seen one.
MugiHold on, Dortmunder sounds like a spell. Do I say it three times and another beer appears?
Hop BroIf only. It's a German-style lager with solid malt character, but the finish stays clean and crisp , so it doesn't feel heavy.
MugiOhhh, so the recommended `広目天麦酒` is basically a reliable all-rounder that works before tacos, with tacos, and probably after tacos too!
Hop BroExactly, and `kimi` uses corn in a Mexican lager profile , so it's light, easygoing, and built to slide right next to tacos.
MugiCorn in beer!? What is that! It sounds like a festival-in-a-glass kind of pour.
Hop BroThen `青嵐` as a Cold IPA keeps things polished at lower temperatures while letting the hops pop, giving it a cool-edged hop character , and `ミスティウェイ` brings that plush Hazy IPA aroma.
MugiSo basically `青嵐` is the sharp one, and `ミスティウェイ` is the aroma-cloud specialist ? Beer suddenly sounds like a superhero team.
Hop BroThat's pretty close, and what makes El Joli strong is how naturally the taco pairing fits, whether you start with lagers or finish deep in IPA territory.
MugiI'm sold already... I want to start with `kimi` and end slowly with `ミスティウェイ`. At this point, we both need a drink tonight.
At Elhori, a beer pub in Kameari, Katsushika City, Tokyo, the shop introduced four beers from Hop Kotan in Furano, Hokkaido. The lineup featured `kimi (Mexican lager)`, `Hirokuten Beer (Dortmund-style)`, `Seiran (Cold IPA)`, and `Misty Way (Hazy IPA)`. It is a range that balances easy drinking with more hop-driven options.
`kimi` is brewed as a Mexican lager using corn, and the shop points out that it should pair well with tacos. `Hirokuten Beer` is the recommended choice in the post, with a clean, restrained profile associated with the Dortmund style. `Seiran` offers the sharper, more refreshing side of a Cold IPA, while `Misty Way` gives fans of hazy IPAs the softer aroma and fuller texture they usually look for.
Elhori focuses on Japanese craft beer and tacos, so the appeal is not just the beer list itself but the way the drinks and food are meant to work together. For anyone in Kameari looking for a meal-friendly lager or a hop-forward IPA, this Hop Kotan selection is a straightforward, well-structured option.
