Osaka Shibutani Bakushu sells bottled beer at Tokyo Metropolitan Government fair
Osaka Shibutani Bakushu, a brewery based in Fujidera, Osaka, is selling bottled beer at the “Osaka Marukajiri Fair” inside the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. The event runs on June 22 and 23 at the National Tourism PR Corner on the first floor of the Main Building.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the Osaka Marukajiri Fair. Osaka Shibutani Beer from Fujiidera, Osaka, is selling bottled craft beer at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building.
MugiWait, beer at city hall!? That sounds like the kind of errand I’d volunteer for immediately!
Hop BroThe venue is the First Main Building 1F tourism PR corner. It runs June 22 from 11:30 to 18:30, and June 23 from 9:30 to 14:00, so it’s pretty easy to drop by.
MugiOooh, lunchtime-friendly hours! Nice. But what kind of brewery is Osaka Shibutani Beer?
Hop BroIt’s a small-scale brewery that started brewing in spring 2022. They carry on Osaka’s beer culture while using ingredients from their local Minamikawachi area.
MugiThat local angle is cool, and the flagship Kawachi no Ale has a strong name too! But does “ale” mean cheering, or beer?
Hop BroThat’s very much an ale-style name. It suggests an ale-type beer, the kind people often expect to be approachable and expressive.
MugiAle-type? Brewer jargon alert! Translate that into normal-human language for me!
Hop BroBasically, it means a more aromatic style of beer. And Kawachi no Ale stands out because it uses local farm products, including thinned Taishi mandarins.
MugiWhat, even thinned mandarins are part of it!? That’s such a strong local story. You’re not just drinking the beer, you’re drinking the background too!
Hop BroThat’s why this is a rare Tokyo chance. Since they’ve mainly sold bottled beer, getting to pick one up in person with all that regional context matters.
MugiNow I really want a bottle. Let’s go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building and take a little Osaka trip through beer!
