Hop BroIn Osaka’s Kyobashi, 12 taps are all lined up as Craft Beer Spot Hatohor updated its draft beer info for April 19. From Yebisu to Sencha Hazy IPA, it’s a lineup broad enough to make your throat tingle just looking at it.
MugiWait, they even have Yebisu!? I thought craft beer places only served the really edgy stuff.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Hatohor is a beer pub with 16 taps and even house-smoked dishes. Having the classic Yebisu / Sapporo Breweries makes the entrance feel welcoming.
MugiWhoa, but what even is Sencha Hazy IPA? Are they putting tea in beer?
Hop BroExactly. It’s from Ise Kadoya Brewery, and they apparently built the recipe while checking the aroma of the tea leaves themselves. The sencha-derived aroma and the mellow body of a Hazy IPA overlap, so you can enjoy it in a direction different from the bright hop character.
MugiThat’s like an ochazuke beer or something, which is funny! And somehow I can imagine it pairing with wagashi too.
Hop BroRight, the mellowness of a Hazy usually comes from the soft mouthfeel of haze. Add sencha’s umami to that and it starts to feel like a beer you’d want with tea snacks, which is the fun part.
MugiA beer with tea-snack vibes sounds so fun! And if they’ve got a Golden Ale too, you can start with something light.
Hop BroYeah, Shonan Beer’s Golden Ale has a gentle citrus aroma, and they’ve also got the fruitiness and smoothness of Pray for 3.11 plus triple IPAs like Revision’s What What What. Lager, ale, IPA, and dark beer are all covered, so it’s fun to decide the order today.
MugiIf you end with Kurooni Stout, you’ll definitely need another round with dinner. A tasting flight at Hatohor sounds like it would keep you happy all the way home!
Craft Beer Spot Hatohor in Kyobashi, Osaka, is a beer pub where you can enjoy 16 taps of craft beer and house-smoked dishes. In this day’s tap-opening announcement, in addition to the staple presence of Yebisu / Sapporo Breweries, the lineup also included the Golden Ale / Shonan Beer, with its gently spreading citrus aroma, and the distinctive Sencha Hazy IPA / Ise Kadoya Brewery, which makes use of the aroma of tea leaves.
In particular, Sencha Hazy IPA is a beer that is likely to catch the eye of beer lovers, as its recipe was built while examining the character of the tea leaves themselves. With the mellow body typical of a Hazy IPA layered with the aroma and umami of sencha, it offers a kind of enjoyment that is a little different from the bright hop character of many beers.
The recommended lineup includes Pray for 3.11 / Black Tide, brewed with prayers for the earthquake disaster, and the limited-edition What What What / Revision, made with Strata, Simcoe, and Mosaic. The former is described as combining fruitiness with gentle bitterness, while the latter is introduced as a triple IPA that, despite its high alcohol content, does not feel heavy on the palate.
Other draft beers on offer include West Coast Pilsner / Ise Kadoya Brewery, Pale Ale / Ise Kadoya Brewery, Hattrick TDH Hazy IPA / Ise Kadoya Brewery, Yuya Boys IPL - Jamboree SP Ver / Onidensetsu Beer, SEYA! / Minoh Beer, Session Black IPA Real Ale ver / Minoh Beer, and Kurooni Stout Kato SP Ver. Mk2 / Onidensetsu Beer, rounding out a lineup that covers lager, ale, IPA, and black beer. From a light, easygoing glass to a rich, full-bodied one, it is a selection that invites you to compare them while pairing with food.
