BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-dou in Ibaraki, Osaka shared its June 12 draft lineup and service details. The pub’s profile says it regularly pours six to seven draft beers, with a focus that spans Japanese craft beer as well as Belgian and German styles.

Draft lineup


The current taps cover a wide range of styles:

- Hoppu Kodan Brewing (Kamifurano, Hokkaido), limited Märzen, AKIRA Hayashi
- Baeren Brewery (Morioka, Iwate), N Classic
- Iwate Kura Beer (Ichinoseki, Iwate), limited Passion Wheat Ale
- Kinshachi Beer (Inuyama, Aichi), IPA
- Draft Pilsner Urquell (Pilsen, Czech Republic)
- SAPPORO BEER, SORACHI 1984

The post also notes what is coming next: Ise Kadoya Beer’s limited Mr.DANK: DDH West Coast IPA and Baeren Brewery’s Kabosu Radler. With märzen, dortmunder, fruit wheat ale, IPA, pilsner, and other directions on the board, the tap list looks built for side-by-side tasting.

Food to match


On the food side, the bar is serving eisbein, mackerel sandwiches, and house-made oil sardines as special items. The regular and smoked snacks are equally beer-friendly: smoked kamaboko, Toyama mackerel, tofu, chicken tenderloin, pickles, eggs, cheese, potato salad, sauerkraut-style cabbage, house pickles, olive marinade, zangi, fries, meat pizza, smoked toppings, and tagliatelle with ragù sauce.

Opening hours are about 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM, with food last order at 9:00 PM and drinks at 10:00 PM. It is the kind of place where you can settle in for a proper draft-beer session and pair each pint with a different plate.
