Hop BroBreaking news! Osaka's Arimoto Beer is setting up a booth at Namba Hiroba for the Osaka Unique Mon Expo 2026 on January 24 and 25. Beer in the middle of the city!
MugiWhat! Namba Hiroba is the place in front of Takashimaya and Marui, right!? Being able to grab craft beer while shopping is amazing!
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and admission is free. On top of Arimoto Beer's four standard craft beers, they also plan to offer kiwi happoshu and sansho (Sansho) happoshu.
MugiWhat is that! Does sansho beer make your tongue tingle!? And what’s the difference between "happoshu" and beer?
Hop BroGood question. Happoshu gives the brewer more freedom in ingredient design, so it's easier to use fruit and spices boldly. With sansho, think more of a citrusy aroma than a tongue-numbing spice.
MugiOhh! So kiwi is the refreshing one, and sansho is the aromatic one! That sounds perfect for tasting side by side at an event!
Hop BroExactly. Arimoto Beer uses the "New Style Beer" slogan, and it’s a brewery that does the classic-plus-a-twist thing well. Since it’s a roaming-style event, pairing it with food and walking around will make it shine.
MugiI want to win Osaka winter with food in one hand and kiwi happoshu in the other! But I’m also curious about the four standard beers!
Hop BroThe January 22 Instagram announcement and the official event page both have the same details, so check the lineup there and head over. Early in the day is the safest bet if you want to get what you want.
MugiIt’s settled! On January 24 or 25, let’s conquer Arimoto Beer's "classic plus a twist" lineup at Namba Hiroba! I want to drink it right now!
