KARAKURI in Kanda taps Kompas from Minoh Beer and Yorocco Beer
KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda has tapped Kompas, a collaboration beer from Minoh Beer and Yorocco Beer. The August 4 service features a saison-yeast beer brewed with fresh Japanese plum for a summer-friendly profile.
Hop BroKARAKURI in Kanda is pouring Kompas on tap. It is a collaboration between Minoh Beer and Yorocco Beer, served on Tuesday, August 4 from 5:00 to 11:00 PM.
MugiWhat! An Osaka meets Kanagawa collab already has my attention. And the name Kompas sounds like a beer you drink before an adventure.
Hop BroThe liquid sounds excellent too. It is a summer saison, built with saison yeast and fresh plums from Wakayama.
MugiHold on, saison yeast? What is that? Every time you say yeast, I picture a baker barging into the brewery.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it is yeast that builds aroma. It brings that peppery, elegant saison character, then the soft tartness of the plums lands on top.
MugiThat sounds great! With gentle plum tartness, it feels perfect for a hot day. But does it get too sweet?
Hop BroThat is the nice part: it is built to be drinkable. Not heavy or syrupy, just light, crisp, and easy to keep sipping in summer.
MugiWait, drinkable? That sounds like secret beer wizard jargon. So it means the glass is half gone before I even notice?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It also means easy with food, which is why it sounds great with KARAKURI's oden and fried dishes.
MugiOkay, that rules! Oden with saison sounds unexpected, but with that plum fruitiness, I can totally see it working.
Hop BroAnd KARAKURI is stacked with options. They do craft beer, sake, and natural wine, and that same day they are also featuring Kariho Brewery's Kariho Rook Oyster lovers. Honestly, I already want to go.
MugiThen it is settled! Meet at five on August 4: Kompas first, oden next, and maybe sake after that. I fully want this drink now.
Tap update
At KARAKURI -Craft Beer & Oden & Sake- in Kanda, the guest tap lineup now includes Kompas, a collaboration beer from Minoh Beer in Osaka and Yorocco Beer in Kanagawa. The post announces the beer for Tuesday, August 4, 17:00-23:00.
About Kompas
Kompas is brewed as an annual collaboration, with the two breweries visiting each other to make the beer together. This release again uses saison yeast, along with fresh plum shipped from Wakayama. The result is described as having a layered, elegant saison aroma, gentle acidity from the plum, and a light fruit character that makes it especially drinkable in the summer heat.
Why it fits the venue
KARAKURI is a basement beer pub in Kanda that focuses on craft beer, sake, and natural wine, while serving creative dishes centered on oden. That makes it a place where beer is not just a standalone drink, but part of a food-friendly lineup.
Kompas should work well with the pub's oden and fried dishes thanks to its bright, crisp profile. The same post also highlighted a sake menu item, Kariho Rook Oyster Lovers from Kariho Shuzo in Akita, showing how broad the drink selection is at KARAKURI.
