Hanaten Brewery Shukujitsu Bakushu

What kind of brewery is Hanaten Brewery Shukujitsu Bakushu?

hop excitedHop Bro

Do you know Hanaten in Osaka? It’s the station where the JR Gakkentoshi Line and the Osaka Higashi Line intersect, and there’s a brewery inside the Hanaten Sakaemachi Shopping Street: Hanaten Brewery Shukujitsu Bakushu.

Wait, a brewery inside a shopping street!? And “Shukujitsu Bakushu” sounds like such a fun name!

It opened on April 29, 2023, which was Showa Day, a public holiday. So the idea is probably “bringing a special, holiday-like beer into everyday life.” The owner used to work for a video-related company, but after falling in love with beer, he traveled around the country visiting breweries.

From the video industry to beer!? That’s a completely different world!

Then he trained at Kibidotege Brewery in Okayama, learned the craft, and eventually went independent back in Hanaten, his hometown. Kibidotege Brewery is something of a pioneer among small-scale breweries, so the training he got there must have been huge.

Wow, he really went all the way to Okayama for training. So what kinds of beer do they have?

Here’s the interesting lineup. Their flagship, “Katen Ale,” is a cloudy beer made with three kinds of herbs, and it has a bright, fragrant aroma that really bursts out. Then there’s “Lychee Ale,” which has a sweet lychee flavor just as the name suggests, and “Lemongrass Ale,” which is crisp and refreshing. They really lean hard into fruit and herb-driven beers, which makes them distinctive.

Katen Ale sounds cute too! Does “Katen” come from Hanaten?

Exactly. It’s a great sense of style to turn the place name into a beer name. And it’s a standing bar style, so you can see the tanks from the counter. Since it’s under the shopping arcade, you can go there without getting wet even on a rainy day.

They even host things like the craft beer meetup for people in their 20s, “CRAFT BEER U-30,” and music events playing Fuji Rock and Summer Sonic tracks, right? For a brewery, that’s pretty bold!

hop proudHop Bro

Exactly. They’re brewing beer in a corner of the shopping street while also putting on events and trying to bring in younger generations. Since the owner came from the video field, maybe he’s especially good at creating atmosphere. It’s a small brewery, but one with a very lively feel.
