Hop BroCraftBeerWorks KAMIKAZE in Osaka's Kitahorie has put out its tap list for May 17. With a total of 14 taps ranging from lager to IPA, it's the kind of lineup that makes your throat react just from looking at it.
MugiWhat, 14 of them!? From lager to IPA, that's enough to get lost before I even decide what to order!
Hop BroThe foundation is strong. The Lager section has classics like Pilsner Urquell, Asahi Super Dry, and Maruef Kuro Nama, plus Atsumi Peninsula Brewing's KERIKERI, Minoh Beer’s Spring Lager, and Shiga Kogen's HOUSE LAGER 2.02.
MugiWait a second, what is HOUSE LAGER? Does that mean it tastes like something homemade? That's suddenly very domestic!
Hop BroIt usually has the sense of being the house's signature baseline. When you build the core around a clean-drinking lager and mix in the personality of Japanese breweries, it makes it easier to move on to the next glass.
MugiI see! And in the Ale section there's This is White and Cho, Latte yo! The names alone are packed with information, I can't help laughing a little!
Hop BroThat's one of the fun parts of KAMIKAZE. And in the Fruit section, Mikkeller Tokyo × Minoh Beer’s Ume-chu is on tap, so it really does cater to people looking for sweet-and-sour flavors too.
MugiUme-chu! When I hear sweet-and-sour, that's exactly the kind of thing I want to drink all at once on a hot day!
Hop BroThe IPA section is interesting too, with Shiga Kogen's Africa Pale Ale and KASUMI, Minoh's Kozaru IPA, FLORA FERMENTATION's Palis, and LA Ale Works' Blue Vibes 2 all on the list. The range goes from session-leaning beers to 7%-range Hazy IPAs and West Coast styles.
MugiWhoa, words like session-leaning and Hazy IPA sound way too cool! But basically that means there are both light, easy-drinking ones and heavier ones, right?
Hop BroExactly. And KAMIKAZE opens at 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and from noon on weekends, so it works for both after-work drinks and daytime drinking. Starting with the eye-catching KASUMI, it makes you want to think about how many glasses you might have today.
MugiNow I totally want to drink! If daytime drinking is okay, let's all meet up in Kitahorie and start with a lager toast!
