Eni-bru to Hold "Nippon-Style Beer Selection" Starting May 22; Minoh Beer's "Spring Lager" Also Appears
At the beer pub "Eni-bru" in Osaka's Nakamozu, the monthly feature "Nippon-Style Beer Selection" will begin on May 22. The post introduces eight beers that make use of Japanese ingredients and brewing techniques, including Minoh Beer's "Spring Lager."
Hop BroA monthly feature is starting at Eni-bru in Osaka's Nakamozu. The "Nippon-Style Beer Selection" from May 22 is pretty ambitious, right?
MugiWait, what does Nippon-Style even mean? So it's a collection of Japanese beers?
Hop BroExactly. This month's highlight is Minoh Beer's Spring Lager, a German pilsner made with German malt and hops.
MugiGerman pilsner? Isn't there suddenly a traffic jam of foreign words happening here?
Hop BroIn short, it's a lager refined through long maturation. They carefully bring out a balance of umami, bitterness, and clean character.
MugiWow! And the lineup is a huge gathering of Japanese ingredients, too. Sake yeast, sake lees, yuzu, Japanese black tea, sansho pepper, even more!?
Hop BroThat's right. For example, CRAFTROCK BREWING's LUCKY7 puts sake yeast in the spotlight, and Hansharo Beer × Nara Brewing's PARALLEL WORLD also goes after yeast-driven character.
MugiWait, yeast can change it that much!? This is basically like a personality test for the beer world!
Hop BroThere is also Daisen G Beer's sake rice beer, fete Mishima Brewery's Japanese black tea and sansho, ORYZAE BREWING's rice koji beer, and Yonezawa Jacks Brewery's soba beer, so the tasting lineup has a very clear theme.
MugiAnd they even have shrimp steamed with aromatic sauce? That's cheating! The power of beer snacks is too strong, and my stomach feels like it's heading to the bar before I do.
Hop BroIf it's two minutes on foot from Nakamozu Station and beers from all over Japan gather there, there's no reason not to go. This is definitely one of those places that makes you want a pint right now.
MugiYeah, I'm in the mood to toast with a Spring Lager today! Let's go taste the Japanese-style lineup together!
At the beer pub "Eni-bru" in Nakamozu-cho, Sakai City, Osaka, the monthly feature "eni-bru Monthly Feature of Craft Beer: Nippon-Style Beer Selection" will launch on May 22. In an Instagram post, Minoh Beer (Osaka)'s "Spring Lager" is introduced first as this month's featured beer. It is presented as a German pilsner brewed with German malt and hops, and long maturation brings out its umami, bitterness, and clean finish.
This time's theme is "Japanese-style" craft beer that incorporates traditional Japanese ingredients and brewing techniques. The lineup includes ingredients such as sake yeast, sake lees, yuzu, sake rice, Japanese black tea, sansho pepper, rice koji, and soba, giving the tasting lineup a clear focus.

On the food side, "shrimp steamed with aromatic sauce" is also being suggested. It is a dish of shell-on shrimp steamed together with glass noodles and wood ear mushrooms, finished with a special aromatic sauce made with garlic and oyster sauce, making it an easy match as a beer snack.
As the name suggests, Eni-bru is a specialty shop that puts craft beer at the center. The post also says that "beers from all over Japan gather here," and its location, just a two-minute walk from Nakamozu Station, makes it convenient to visit. For people who want to try a range of Japanese-style brews, this clearly themed event is an easy one to check out.
