Nomcraft’s Three Guest Beers Land at El Hori in Kameari
El Hori, a craft beer and tacos pub in Kameari, Katsushika, Tokyo, has added three guest beers from Nomcraft in Wakayama’s Aridagawa. The lineup spans a lager, a banana-purée wheat beer, and a Hazy Triple IPA, making it easy to pair with tacos.
Hop BroKameari has a fun one right now: El Joli just brought in three Nomcraft beers from Aridagawa, Wakayama. A lager, a banana weizen, and even a Hazy TIPA in one lineup is kind of unfair, in the best way.
MugiWait, what! A spot doing tacos and craft beer gets a lineup that wide? I’d be overwhelmed before I even sat down!
Hop BroFirst up is Nomcraft Lager. It’s built around that classic easy-drinking lager feel, so it’s perfect as your first glass while you wait for the tacos.
MugiOoh, perfect first pint is a real category, though. When you’re hungry, you want something tasty, not a pop quiz in a glass!
Hop BroThen there’s Banana Kick. It’s a weizen with banana puree, and the esters plus that soft wheat character layer together really nicely.
MugiHold on, what are esters!? You just dropped a chemistry word on me like we’re in a science lab!
Hop BroPut simply, it means fruit-like aroma. Instead of making it cloyingly sweet, they use aroma and the gentle wheat body to bring out the banana character.
MugiNo way, so banana weizen doesn’t mean dessert-beer chaos? It actually sounds balanced and super drinkable!
Hop BroAnd the final boss is The Beast. It’s a hazy triple IPA, so a Hazy TIPA, with real heft but enough juicy haze character that it doesn’t feel as heavy as you’d expect.
MugiThat name sounds intense! Hazy TIPA makes me brace for impact, but if it’s juicy, I kind of want to try it.
Hop BroPrices run 1080 to 1280 yen. Starting with the lager, opening up the aromas with Banana Kick, then landing on The Beast... honestly, that flow makes me want a round right now.
MugiThat lineup totally wins. I want this in Kameari with tacos on the side and all three Nomcraft pours immediately!
El Hori, a pub in Kameari, Katsushika, Tokyo focused on Japanese craft beer and tacos, has tapped three guest beers from Nomcraft in Aridagawa, Wakayama. The lineup features Nomcraft Lager, Banana Kick (Banana Weizen), and The Beast (Hazy Triple IPA), offering a clear range from light and crisp to aromatic and rich.
The first pour is Nomcraft Lager, a straightforward, easy-drinking lager that works well as an opener before food arrives.

The beers are listed at 1,080 yen, 1,130 yen, and 1,280 yen respectively.
For the finish, The Beast brings the biggest body of the three. As a Hazy Triple IPA, it carries the juicy haze character that makes high-ABV beer feel surprisingly approachable. El Hori’s appeal is how naturally these beers fit alongside tacos: start with the lager, move into the fruity wheat beer, and finish with the Hazy TIPA. For anyone looking for domestic craft beer in Kameari, this is a lineup worth noting.
