CraftBeerSpot Hathor in Kyobashi posts its June 11 draft lineup, led by Hopping Shachi
CraftBeerSpot Hathor, a beer pub in Osaka's Kyobashi area known for 16 taps and house-smoked dishes, has posted its June 11 draft-beer lineup. The list spans lager, ale, fruit beer, IPA, and dark beer, including Y.Market's Hopping Shachi and Repubrew's Momoka to Kyouko no Duet Weizen.
Hop BroKyobashi is looking very good today. Hathor's 12 draft taps are a strong lineup, from Hopping Shachi to fruit beers, IPAs, and dark beer.
MugiWait, Hopping Shachi? That name sounds way too powerful. Like an orca launching hops at people!
Hop BroThat's exactly why it works. It's a lager from Y.Market, introduced as the official Nagoya Castle beer. Golden in color, with apple, pineapple, citrus-like aromas, and a solid bitterness.
MugiA lager with that much aroma and bitterness? And what does clean finish actually mean in normal-person language?
Hop BroIt means the flavor drops away cleanly after you drink it. It doesn't linger in a heavy way, but it still has presence, so it's great as a first pint.
MugiOhhh, that makes sense! Then I might start with the shachi. And the fruit one, Peach and Apricot Duet already sounds like dessert!
Hop BroThis is where it gets fun. It's a fruit weizen with extra wheat malt, layered with white peach and apricot, plus yeast-derived banana notes and even a touch of clove. Lots of aroma depth.
MugiWhat is that! Clove notes suddenly makes this sound like a cooking show. Beer can smell spicy too?
Hop BroIt can, yeah. Weizen yeast creates that kind of aroma, so you get banana and spice vibes naturally. Then peach and apricot stack on top, so it feels summery without tasting thin.
MugiOkay, I want that. And if the IPA side has Tono no Kaze, Live Current IPA, and Hop Nyaon Fleet 12, that's basically a ready-made tasting route!
Hop BroExactly. Start with lager, move to fruit, then IPA, then finish with a black beer like Old Rasputin, and you really feel the range of the draft list. Their house-smoked food would be perfect with it too.
MugiI'm done for, I totally want to go now! Tonight is Operation Pint in Kyobashi and we're setting sail with the shachi!

Among the featured beers, Hopping Shachi is described as Y.Market's official craft beer for Nagoya Castle. It pours a bright gold color and brings apple, pineapple, citrus, and a spicy hop character, followed by firm bitterness and a crisp finish.
Momoka to Kyouko no Duet Weizen is a summer fruit Weizen built around peach and apricot. The wheat-heavy base gives it a fuller mouthfeel, while yeast-driven banana and clove notes round out the aroma.
The IPA section is especially varied. Tono no Wind uses 100% Tono-grown hops, while Live Current IPA leans into tropical fruit, fresh peach, citrus, and a dank finish. A flight across these styles would show how broad the pub's draft range is on this day.
