Today’s Draft Beer

Craft Beer Spot Hathor has tapped “Silence of the Cats” from Ise Kadoya Beer.

The beer focuses on the character of New Zealand-grown hops. Its concept is to reduce sweetness and let the hop aroma stand out, keeping malt-derived sweetness and body in check for a cleaner, more expressive profile.

The recipe combines Superdeli, known for its sweet aromatic character, with Nelson Sauvin for tropical notes and Motueka for lime and lemongrass-like freshness. Maui Nelson Hop Kief is also used to intensify the aroma.

In the glass, berry-like richness meets passion-fruit-like tropical notes and a refreshing lime impression. The palate is juicy and hop-driven, while the finish remains crisp rather than overly sweet.

It should appeal to drinkers who enjoy aromatic IPAs as well as those looking for a lighter, more focused hop profile. Visitors to Hathor, a craft beer pub in Osaka, can check the current availability and enjoy this New Zealand-hop-focused pour alongside the pub’s rotating draft selection.

The pub is located on the first floor of Fine Daini Building in Higashinoda-cho, Osaka. Availability may change, so checking the venue’s latest announcement before visiting is recommended.
