Beer House Hobbit Announces Six Draft Beers for May 28, Plus a Vegetable Plate with Sea Grapes
On May 28, Beer House Hobbit in Hirakata, Osaka, introduced a total of six draft beers, including selections from Yatsugatake Brewery and Kuninocho Beer. The post also announced a fresh vegetable plate topped with Okinawa-grown sea grapes, along with a seafood curry planned for the weekend.
Hop BroBeer House Hobbit in Hirakata has lined up six draft beers for May 28 all at once. Since the beers range from Yatsugatake Brewery to local Hirakata, it feels like drinking while traveling through different regions, which is great.
MugiWait, from Yamanashi all the way to Hirakata!? That much range? The tap list is basically a school trip!
Hop BroAnd the beers themselves are interesting too. For example, Yatsugatake Brewery’s "Shirakaba Beat," Kuninocho Beer’s "Kijo Gold," and Choryo Shuzo’s "Wakyo - Sake Lees Yuzu White" are all full of distinctive character.
MugiWhat even is that! Sake Lees Yuzu White sounds like it contains a full beer mug’s worth of information just from the name alone!
Hop BroIn short, it layers the umami of sake lees, the aroma of yuzu, and the soft mouthfeel of a white-style beer. It’s the kind of beer that brings out fermentation notes, and the key point is its Japanese aromatic design.
MugiOhhh! So something like Naminooto Brewing’s "Circle" or Hansharo Beer’s "Full Bloom DIPA" would be a completely different flavor direction?
Hop BroExactly. A DIPA has a stronger hop presence, and if you picture a citrusy Citra-hop profile, it’s easy to understand. Since there’s also Hirakata Beer’s "Session Citra White," it’s fun that you can compare them casually.
MugiAnd the food is amazing too! A vegetable plate topped with sea grapes? It already feels like Okinawa’s ocean is saying hello from the moment you see it!
Hop BroThey’ve brought in large-grained sea grapes and apparently serve them as a salad topping. There’s also a tomato tasting comparison, new potato chips, and even beef loin steak, so they’re clearly making full use of beer pairings.
MugiWait, this isn’t just a place to drink, it’s a place with too many reasons to eat! And it said there’d be something special on the weekend too, right?
Hop BroOn May 29 and 30, staff member Unno’s "My Curry" will feature seafood curry on Unit 3. Since it uses bonito and kelp stock with squid, shrimp, and clams, this is basically headed straight for the draft beer.
MugiWow, it really feels like a community-rooted day. Go on an adventure at the taps, take a break with the vegetable plate, then finish with curry. That’s basically the perfect path to happiness.
Hop BroThen tonight, I’m in the mood to seriously line up a six-beer tasting. Mugi-chan, should we start with Shirakaba Beat?
MugiLet’s go! And after that I want to say, give me the sea grapes and the curry too, because this was an article that made me want to go right now!
Beer House Hobbit is a beer pub located in Kawaramachi, Hirakata City. In its Thursday, May 28 post, it unveiled the draft beers for the day along with an announcement for food featuring "sea grapes from Okinawa Prefecture." It said it had stocked large-grained sea grapes, which would be served as a topping on the salad in the vegetable plate.
There were six draft beers that day. The lineup consisted of Yatsugatake Brewery's "Shirakaba Beat," Kuninocho Beer’s "Kijo Gold," Choryo Shuzo’s "Wakyo - Sake Lees Yuzu White," Naminooto Brewing’s "Circle," Hansharo Beer’s "Full Bloom DIPA," and Hirakata Beer’s "Session Citra White." From Yamanashi, Osaka, Nara, Hyogo, Shizuoka, and local Hirakata, it was a lineup with a wide range of origins and personalities.
On the food side, the pub announced items including a fresh vegetable plate, a tomato tasting comparison, clay-pot-cooked rice rice balls "tai," freshly fried new potato chips, domestic beef hiyuchi steak, beef loin steak, young corn spring rolls, water eggplant and zucchini, asparagus tempura, and spicy Taiwanese-style fried chicken. It is a spread that lets guests enjoy a proper meal alongside beer.
In addition, staff member Unno will present "My Curry" on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30. The third unit is announced to be seafood curry, made with bonito and kelp stock and combined with squid, shrimp, and clams. It looks set to be a very community-rooted day, where guests can enjoy draft beer tastings and seasonal dishes at the same time.
