Osaka Shibutani Beer Resells Limited Beer "Tenma Tenjin Ale" at Its Brewery
Osaka Shibutani Beer has announced that its local dark ale "Tenma Tenjin Ale," which first went on sale in 2023, is now being brewed and sold in limited quantities at its brewery and direct sales shop. Made with sacred water from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and Osaka kombu, the beer also stands out for its label by Yoshihisa Hasegawa.
Hop BroOsaka Shibutani Beer did it again. Just hearing that Tenma Tenjin Ale is being resold makes it sound like a drink you could start with just from the name.
MugiWhat, it's on sale in limited quantities!? Just the fact that it's "back" already makes it feel dramatic!
Hop BroExactly. This is a local beer that came out in 2023, and it uses sacred water from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine as its brewing water. It feels like it carries the atmosphere of the place itself.
MugiSacred water sounds amazing, but does that mean it's not just about the dark color!? Dark ale suddenly got a lot more intense!
Hop BroEven though it has a deep color, it's not just heavy. The umami from Osaka kombu brings out the flavor, and when it combines with the roasted malt's toasty notes, it becomes the kind of beer whose richness builds gently.
MugiWow! Kombu in beer is such a genius idea. Stacking umami is kind of like cooking!
Hop BroExactly. And the label was done by picture-book artist Yoshihisa Hasegawa, and that famous "obachan label" really gives it character. It's lively before you even take a sip.
MugiThat's so fun! And Osaka Shibutani Beer is a brewery in Fujiidera City, so even though it's a Tenma beer, its range is huge!
Hop BroRight. It's also currently on sale at the brewery and direct sales shop, and since Tenma Tenjin MAIDO-ya is listed too, you can really see the connection to the Tenma and Tenjinbashisuji area.
MugiIt would be perfect as an Osaka souvenir, and it sounds like it would go great with local food too! I'm starting to feel like I want to toast with this tonight!
Osaka Shibutani Beer is once again highlighting its local beer tied to the Tenma area, "Tenma Tenjin Ale." On its official social media, it announced that the beer is "back" and is currently on sale in limited quantities at its brewery and direct sales shop.
This beer, which first went on sale in 2023, is introduced as a dark ale that uses sacred water from Osaka Tenmangu Shrine as its brewing water and brings out the umami of Osaka kombu. Its label, created by Osaka's leading picture-book artist Yoshihisa Hasegawa, is notable for its striking "obachan label."
Osaka Shibutani Beer is a brewery based in Fujiidera City. On its official website, it describes its roots as inheriting the history of some of the earliest brewed beer made by Japanese brewers. In addition to its standard "Kawachino Ale" series, it also produces limited-edition beers that emphasize local character, and "Tenma Tenjin Ale" can be regarded as one of its representative offerings.
On the sales side, the company's "places to drink and buy" page also lists Tenma Tenjin MAIDO-ya, showing the product's connection to the Tenma and Tenjinbashisuji area.
