CraftBeerSpot Hathor taps Ushitora's "With Raspberries" on 6/16
CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Osaka's Kyobashi updated its draft lineup for 6/16. The featured pour is Ushitora Brewery's fruit ale "With Raspberries," alongside a broad selection that includes IPA, sour, lager, and stout options across 16 taps.
Hop BroCraft Beer Spot Hathor in Kyobashi just updated its June 16 tap list, and Ushitora's fruit ale is stealing the show. "Raspberry Irechaimashita" is on tap.
MugiWait, that name is adorable. Raspberry Irechaimashita sounds less like a beer and more like a confession.
Hop BroPretty much. It's a fruit ale from Ushitora Brewery, built on a light pilsner-malt base and layered with fresh raspberry flavor after fermentation.
MugiHold on, you dropped pilsner malt like we're suddenly in brewing class.
Hop BroIt's a clean, gentle malt, so the fruit gets to lead. In plain terms, it's the stage for the raspberries.
MugiOhhh, so even if I don't love bitter beer, this could work? Bright berry tartness sounds very safe for me.
Hop BroExactly. The hop bitterness is restrained, and they add fruit after fermentation, then let it go through a second fermentation to lock in aroma and color.
MugiThere it is again. Second fermentation means the beer is doing overtime?
Hop BroMore or less. The base beer is finished, then fruit gets added for one more round so the flavor settles in better. That's why the fresh tangy finish feels so vivid.
MugiOkay, I want that immediately. And Hathor has 16 taps with IPA, sour, lager, and stout? Flight mode activated.
Hop BroAnd the recommended IPA is Stone's "Live Current IPA," packed with tropical fruit, peach, citrus, and that dank edge. It starts soft, then finishes dry and bitter.
MugiSo I start with the fruit ale, detour into IPA, snack on the house-smoked food, then land on a stout... that route is flawless.
Hop BroThat's the move. Hathor's homemade smoked dishes make this lineup even better, but first I want that ruby-colored ale in my glass.
MugiSame. I'm not even in Kyobashi yet and my brain already tastes raspberries. First round is decided.
