New taps from Oni Densetsu and Flora Fermentation open at Bar FUKURO
On April 30, the beer pub Bar FUKURO in Kamata announced new draft beers. Hokkaido's Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale CGX Strata" and Flora Fermentation's "Lupus" have arrived, and a Kamado Brewery tap takeover is also planned for May.
Hop BroAt Bar FUKURO in Kamata, they brought in two new taps. Seeing Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale CGX Strata" alongside Flora Fermentation's "Lupus" is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa, Oni Densetsu is a strong name! I feel like I would get buzzed on pure spirit before I even get to the beer itself. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroFirst off, both are American Pale Ales, and both are 5.5% ABV. Kin-Oni Pale Ale brings passion fruit, mango, and citrus, then finishes with a crisp, sharp bitterness.
MugiSharp bitterness? What is that even supposed to mean? Finishes crisp makes the beer sound like it's in a sports club or something.
Hop BroPretty much. And CGX is a kind of aroma-concentrating material, so it helps push the hop aroma forward. That means even if the aroma is flashy, the drinking experience is surprisingly well balanced.
MugiHuh! Then what about "Lupus"? Built around Strata hops is another strong-sounding phrase!
Hop BroLupus centers on Strata hops, and it's a beer that shows tropical and berry notes. Beyond citrus, it should also have a juicy, slightly sweet nuance.
MugiGot it, so even though they're both pale ales, they have different personalities! Bar FUKURO is nice because it's easy to compare them side by side.
Hop BroExactly. It's easy to drop by in the Kamata Station area, and it has the lightness of a standing bar while still offering seats where you can drink slowly. Since they also have their house-made Kamata Ale, it's fun to go back and forth between the regular lineup and guest beers.
MugiAnd there's also the Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover!!, right? May 22 and 23? I guess I have to make my plans around beer!
Hop BroOn the 22nd it's planned for 18:00 to 24:00, and on the 23rd it's also scheduled from 15:00 to 24:00. There are temporary Golden Week business hours too, so checking before you go is a must, but this is definitely more than a one-beer stop.
MugiYeah, I want to slowly compare aromatic pale ales! Today I'm already feeling like I want to stop by Bar FUKURO on my way home.
Hop BroI know. I'm completely in the mood for a beer in Kamata right now too. Once you have Kin-Oni, then Lupus, and the Kamado preview on top of that, there's no reason not to drink.
The new taps are American Pale Ales with very different characters
A recent Instagram post from Bar FUKURO in Kamata introduced two newly tapped draft beers. One is Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu's "Kin-Oni Pale Ale CGX Strata." The other is Flora Fermentation's "Lupus."
"Kin-Oni Pale Ale CGX Strata" is an American Pale Ale with an ABV of 5.5%. CGX is said to use a material that concentrates aroma compounds in the same way as cryo hops, creating a profile that layers passion fruit, mango, and citrus notes over a sharp bitterness. "Lupus" is also an American Pale Ale, with an ABV of 5.5%, and is presented as a beer built around Strata hops, offering tropical, citrus, and berry notes.
Bar FUKURO is a beer pub in the Kamata Station area that is easy to stop by casually. While it has the lightness of a standing bar, it also offers seating where you can relax and drink, giving it an atmosphere that makes it easy to enter alone. Its draft lineup rotates between regular and guest beers, and part of its appeal is that it makes it easy to compare multiple labels, including its house-made "Kamata Ale."
The food is also beer-friendly, with options like Cuban sandwiches and vegetable sandwiches that are easy to snack on and pair well with your first drink. It is the kind of place where you can slowly savor aromatic pale ales while following the changes on tap in its small space.
The post also announced a Kamado Brewery Tap Takeover!!, with draft-only pours scheduled for May 22 from 18:00 to 24:00 and another event planned for May 23 from 15:00 to 24:00. Since temporary Golden Week business hours were also announced, it would be a good idea to check opening information before visiting.
