Hop BroBeer&Cafe Hafen in Esaka, Osaka, has tapped a fresh autumn lineup.
MugiWhoa! Does that mean we can get Oktoberfest vibes right in Esaka?
Hop BroExactly. Ise Kadoya Brewery's Oktoberfest Lager is on tap, with a distinctly German-inspired malt profile.
MugiI picture lager as crisp, but what does it smell like? And what is this malt character thing?
Hop BroMalt is the grain used in beer. This one has fresh-baked bread aromas, plus biscuit and honey-like sweetness.
MugiBread and honey!? It sounds like breakfast is happening in my glass! That toasty malt sweetness has my attention.
Hop BroVienna and Munich malts bring the toastiness and color, while restrained bitterness keeps a light, easy finish.
MugiVienna and Munich... are we booking a European trip? Those are names of malts?
Hop BroThey are. Think of them as ingredients that create that bread-like aroma—no passport needed.
MugiAnd there's Jōyama Brewery's Sakurajima Komikan Ale too? This tap list is an autumn field trip!
Hop BroIt is an ultra-limited Kölsch-based beer with komikan juice, offering gentle citrus and a clean, crisp aftertaste. Daisen G Beer’s Weihen Hop is available too.
MugiI want the Ise Kadoya first, then the komikan ale! Let's reserve for three or more and enjoy an Esaka autumn beer crawl!
Beer&Cafe Hafen, a small craft beer pub in Esaka, Suita, Osaka, has announced new tap information featuring beers suited to the October season.
The highlight is Ise Kadoya Beer’s Oktoberfest Lager. The beer is described as having a gently sweet malt aroma reminiscent of freshly baked bread, biscuits, and honey. Vienna and Munich malts add a lightly toasted grain character, while the body remains relatively easy-drinking. Low hop bitterness keeps the malt sweetness in balance, making it a suitable choice for a relaxed first pint or a session shared with friends.
Also available is Shiroyama Brewery’s limited “Sakurajima Komikan Ale.” Based on a Kölsch, it uses small Sakurajima mandarins, an ingredient also associated with the brewery’s Belgian White. The beer offers a soft citrus character from the fruit juice and a clean finish.
The current taps also include Daisen G Beer’s “Weihenhop.” For a future rotation, Hafen has listed NUDE BEER’s “MISORA” and “URARAKAZE” from Kyoto.
Located on Esaka Garden Heights in Esaka, Beer&Cafe Hafen offers a compact setting for exploring carefully selected craft beers. Reservations are required for groups of three or more, except for drink-only visits. Since opening schedules and taps may change, guests should check the pub’s social media before visiting.
