Kokage Sakaba features craft beers from Shiga Kogen, Uchu, and Ise Kadoya
Kokage Sakaba in Jiyugaoka posted its July 6 opening notice, highlighting three domestic craft beers on tap: Shiga Kogen's “Yuruburu spelt,” Uchu Brewing's “Monolith,” and Mie-based Ise Kadoya's “Ohisama Ale.” Weekday happy hour beer is priced at JPY 780 per glass.
Hop BroToday's Kokage Sakaba tap list is a good one. They open at 5 p.m. on July 6, and the taps feature Shiga Kogen, Uchu Brewing, and Isekadoya.
MugiWait, three Japanese craft beers in one stop in Jiyugaoka? That's not a detour, that's the whole plan!
Hop BroFirst up is Shiga Kogen's Yuruburu Spelt. It's great with food and easy to gulp down, so it feels perfect for the first glass.
MugiWhoa, but what is spelt? Craft beer just turned into a history class out of nowhere!
Hop BroThat's the fun part, it's an ancient wheat grain. It can give the beer a softer grain character, which makes it really friendly with food.
MugiNo way, drinkable ancient romance? That sounds like it could handle potato salad, grilled dishes, basically my entire snack strategy!
Hop BroThen there's Uchu Brewing's Monolith, a West Coast IPA. Big aroma, crisp bitterness, and a finish that snaps everything into place.
MugiHold on, West Coast IPA? Why can I already see sunglasses and a sunset just from the name?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's aromatic and sharp. It pushes citrusy hop character and bitterness forward, so it feels bright but finishes clean.
MugiOkay, then Isekadoya's Ohisama Ale sounds like my move. Fruity, not too bitter, and basically built for summer.
Hop BroExactly, and the weekday 780-yen happy hour is a serious bonus. A retro-pop bar and a side-by-side tasting of these three? I want a glass already.
MugiThen it's settled, let's do a Jiyugaoka tasting! Start with Yuruburu, hit Monolith in the middle, and finish with Ohisama Ale like a full summer ending!
