Hibinobia unveils 12 taps centered on Ise Kadoya Beer and new bottles for April 1
Hibinobia Craft Beer Kitchen & Store in Sakai, Osaka, has revealed its tap lineup for April 1. Centered on limited releases from Ise Kadoya Beer, the lineup also features labels from Asahi, Banriharu Brewing, Hansharo Beer, Yokohama Bay Brewing, and more, with takeout available too.
Hop BroToday's hot pick is the 12 taps centered on Ise Kadoya that Hibinobia in Osaka's Sakai unveiled. Even though it's April 1, it's no gag; it's a lineup that really makes you want to drink.
MugiWhoa! April 1 is April Fools' Day, so they're going that hard? With this kind of luxury in a basement beer pub, that's basically unfair!
Hop BroWhat's more, it's the after-party for 'Ise Kado Fair 2026 Special Weeks,' so Ise Kadoya Beer is right at the center. Kicking things off with limited Pacific dry pilsners like Byond the Pacific is a pretty savvy move.
MugiWait, what's a Pacific dry pilsner? Is it dry but not bitter? That name alone is way too information-dense!
Hop BroIn broad terms, it's a crisp pilsner base with a pleasant hop aroma layered on top. It has a clean, fragrant bitterness, and it's perfect as your first beer.
MugiI get it! Then I'm curious about DDH Neko Nihiki Citra! DDH sounds like some kind of finishing move, right?
Hop BroIt does sound like a special move, but it's actually a method that piles on lots of dry hopping. A DDH Hazy IPA has a soft, expansive aroma, and with Citra the citrus character gets even stronger, to the point where your nose gets tipsy first.
MugiMy nose gets tipsy first? And they even have Nama Kado Oyster Stout? That pairing is way too refined!
Hop BroIt's a collaboration between Ise Kadoya Beer and NAMACHAん BREWING, and the smoked-oyster nuance is what makes it interesting. The smoky umami of the sea comes through, so it's the kind of beer that gets more addictive the slower you drink it.
MugiAnd the store has new bottle arrivals too, that's cheating! If you can take home what you liked after drinking it, it feels like they're luring you in deeper and deeper.
Hop BroExactly. Picking a keg in the shop and then taking the bottle home too is what makes Hibinobia feel like Hibinobia. Today, it already feels like before you know it, you'll be carrying out a takeout bag after what was supposed to be just one drink.
MugiI can see it! I want to toast with Ise Kadoya today and take a bottle home too! It's already a full-on going-out-to-drink kind of day!
