Osaka's Umbrella taps Kasumi and Setouchi Lemon Pilsner
Umbrella, the basement beer pub in Osaka's Umeda area, announced a 6 p.m. opening on Thursday, June 18. The latest update adds Shiga Kogen Beer’s Kasumi and Nagahama Roman Beer’s Setouchi Lemon Pilsner, alongside Guinness and other rotating taps.
Hop BroUmbrella near Ohatsu Tenjin in Umeda opens at 6 p.m. on June 18, and today there are two fresh taps. Shiga Kogen Beer Kasumi and Nagahama Roman Beer Setouchi Lemon Pilsner.
MugiWait, Umbrella is a basement beer pub? That already sounds like a secret hideout, and my first-drink mode is activated.
Hop BroAnd Kasumi is a Session Hazy IPA at 4.5%. It sounds very Shiga Kogen: bright hop aroma, but in an easygoing form.
MugiHold on, that sounds like a magic spell. Session? Hazy? IPA? Where am I supposed to breathe in that sentence?
Hop BroHere’s the short version. Session means easier to drink, hazy means cloudy-looking, IPA means hop-forward, so it’s basically aroma-first design.
MugiOhhh! Then Setouchi Lemon Pilsner from Nagahama Roman Beer already sounds like summer before I even taste it.
Hop BroExactly. A pilsner is a crisp lager style. This one is 5.0%, and the Setouchi lemon should add a clean, refreshing lift.
MugiAnd they also have Minoh Beer grapefruit sour, draft Guinness, and Kirin Lager? That lineup is wild. My throat is having a strategy meeting.
Hop BroThey’re also selling a six-glass beer ticket for 5,800 yen. It covers six minimum-size craft pours, and at Basement Umbrella it can even be used for a Guinness pint.
MugiWhat, usable for Guinness pints too? That’s strong. And with the June 21 and 28 closures plus the July 11 and 12 tenth-anniversary party, now I want to plan ahead.
Hop BroIf you’re choosing your first drink in Umeda, this feels like a compare-and-sip night. Start with Kasumi for the hops, then snap into the lemon pilsner.
MugiThat settles it, I want to go now. Down into the basement, Kasumi first, lemon pilsner next, and maybe Guinness after that if we’re doing this properly.
Umbrella, the basement beer pub near Ohatsu Tenjin in Osaka's Umeda area, announced a 6 p.m. opening for Thursday, June 18. The post keeps the focus on the taps, reflecting the bar's mix of Guinness and rotating craft beer.
Two new kegs were added that day:
- Kasumi / Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano), 4.5%
- Setouchi Lemon Pilsner / Nagahama Roman Beer (Shiga), 5.0%
The day's tap list also included Kasumi as a Session Hazy IPA, Setouchi Lemon Pilsner as a Lemon Pilsner, Grefru Sour / Minoh Beer (Osaka) as a Fruit Sour Ale, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (JP). The lineup spans Japanese craft, an Irish stout, and a familiar lager, so the selection ranges from citrusy and hazy to classic and dry.
Umbrella is also selling a beer ticket worth six smallest-size craft pours for 5,800 yen, and the bar says Guinness pints are accepted too. The post notes closing days on June 21 and June 28, plus an umbrella RiB 10th anniversary party on July 11-12.
