Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch Debuts New Taps from Shimanami Brewery and Oni Densetsu
Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch has announced new taps. Shimanami Brewery's "Shimanami Cat Strawberry Ice Cream" and Oni Densetsu's "Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson Sauvin Ver." have arrived, setting up a lineup that lets you compare fruitiness and hop character.
Hop BroThere’s a new tap at Btaps in Toranomon Hills. Today, Shimanami Brewery and Oni Densetsu have arrived at the same time, and the lineup is really fun.
MugiWhoa! That’s a lot of information all at once! And Shimanami Cat sounds way too cute, doesn’t it?
Hop BroFirst up is Hiroshima’s Shimanami Cat Strawberry Ice Cream. It’s a Hard Ice Cream Seltzer, and even though it’s light at 4%, it includes strawberry juice and strawberry ice cream.
MugiWait, ice cream is in it? Is it beer? Is it dessert? Which category is this even in? My brain can’t keep up!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. They layer fruit character onto homemade hard seltzer, then tie it together with richness and acidity, so it finishes as sweet, tart, and easy to drink.
MugiI see, that sounds perfect for a first drink! But I’m also curious about the other one, the Kinki Pale Ale. Even the name sounds strong!
Hop BroThat’s Oni Densetsu’s Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson Sauvin Ver. It’s a 5.5% Pale Ale, and the Nelson Sauvin brings white grape and tropical notes, paired with a solid bitterness.
MugiWhite grape, tropical fruit, and bitterness? Even the description makes my mouth busy! It’s like a roller coaster of aromas!
Hop BroAnd because Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch is easy to stop by after work or for a daytime drink, the fact that there are two beers you can choose based on your mood is a big plus. Go sweet-and-tart, or go after the hop profile. It’s basically a straight choice between two paths.
MugiThen I’ll start with Shimanami Cat and grin, and then I’ll be the one nodding along with Kinki! A tasting comparison is clearly the right answer!
Hop BroThat settles it. Today, let’s head to Toranomon and look for a beer that matches the mood of the day.
MugiLet’s go! Just reading the article already made me thirsty, and I want to gather in front of the kegs right now!
Btaps Toranomon Hills Branch (B1F, Toranomon Hills Business Tower, Tokyo) posted an announcement about its new taps. True to its beer-pub style, two distinctly different beers are now on offer at a location that is easy to stop by after work or for a daytime drink.
Two New Taps
- Shimanami Cat Strawberry Ice Cream
Shimanami Brewery / Hard Ice Cream Seltzer / 4% / Hiroshima
Homemade hard seltzer is blended with strawberry juice, and strawberry ice cream is added as well. A beer where the richness is layered with the fresh aroma and tartness of strawberries.
- Kinki Pale Ale CGX Nelson Sauvin Ver.
Oni Densetsu / Pale Ale / 5.5% / Hokkaido
It offers white grape and tropical aromas, while a firm bitterness gives it structure. Its crisp balance makes it easy to keep drinking.
This lineup pairs a fruit-forward hard seltzer with a pale ale that puts its hop character front and center, creating a striking contrast. Whether you start with sweet-and-tart flavors or take your time following the aroma and bitterness, the way you enjoy the beers is likely to change.
