Osaka's umbrella RiB Pours 12 Draft Beers: Collaboration IPA and Japanese Breweries Gather
The beer pub umbrella RiB in Tomoganocho, Osaka, is open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on May 19. The bar is featuring 12 craft beers, including a collaboration IPA, with a lineup that ranges from hop-forward IPAs to fruit beers, lagers, and sours.
Hop BroA beer pub in Tomoganocho, Osaka with 12 draft beers on tap sounds like a pretty aggressive tap list. umbrella RiB running from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on May 19, with that day-by-day rotating feel, is exactly the kind of setup that pulls you in.
MugiWhat! Twelve kinds? That's the kind of place where you'll get lost before you even choose!
Hop BroAnd the first pour is You Waku Mosaic, a collaboration between Beppu Brewery, Ladybirds, and umbrella RiB. It's a Session IPA, so it's light on its feet but still has a strong hop aroma, making it an easy pick for the first drink.
MugiWhat's a Session IPA? Light but aromatic sounds like a beer that's almost too convenient!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's an IPA that keeps the drinkability while letting you enjoy the aroma. From there you can line up Tight Lines, a West Coast IPA; Protea, a Hazy Double IPA; and Locomotion, an American IPA, and enjoy how bitterness and aroma take on different forms.
MugiWhoa, you could have a whole conversation with IPAs alone! Comparing the differences in aroma and bitterness sounds like a grown-up research project, and I'm into it!
Hop BroAnd what's sneaky nice is that there are good escape routes when you want to change the mood. You can slot in fruit-driven choices like Akkeshi Rouge as a Red Saison, Shimanami Super Hassaku Sour, White Pearl, and Hinoberry Ale.
MugiBless that! After an IPA shocks your tongue, being able to reset with a sour is ridiculously welcome!
Hop BroOn top of that, there are Papa Zaru Lager, Australian Pilsner w/ Ume, American Pale Ale, and Spiral, so the style range is really broad. And with Kuni no Cho Beer, Minoh Beer, Nara Brewing, Yuitriere, Amakusa Sonar Beer, Two Rabbits Brewing, Shimanami Brewery, VERTERE, and Revision all in the mix, the cross-regional lineup is what makes it interesting.
MugiWhat is this, a tasting showdown? If Japanese breweries are gathering here, you can travel through flavor in one night.
Hop BroAnd since it pairs easily with meat dishes and limited burgers, the happiness level of beer and snacks is high too. Whether you're dropping in for one drink after work or rotating through different styles with a group, it seems like a place you'll want to take your time with.
MugiI want to go already! It feels like draft-beer heaven in Umeda, and I want to toast while saying we'll have burgers too today!
At the beer pub umbrella RiB (Umbrella RiB) in Tomoganocho, Osaka, 12 craft beers were on offer during business hours from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on May 19. The shop is on the first floor of the Juraku Building in Tomogano, Kita Ward, Osaka City, and its tap lineup changes from day to day, which is one of its defining features.
Leading the lineup that day was You Waku Mosaic, a collaboration between Beppu Brewery, Ladybirds, and umbrella RiB. Built with the easygoing drinkability typical of a Session IPA, it also delivers a solid hop aroma, making it a natural first pint. Next came IPAs with different shades of aroma and bitterness, including Tight Lines, a West Coast IPA; Protea, a Hazy Double IPA; and Locomotion, an American IPA.
If you want to change gears, there were options like Akkeshi Rouge, a Red Saison; Shimanami Super Hassaku Sour, a Fruit Hard Seltzer; and fruit beers such as White Pearl and Hinoberry Ale. The range widened further with Papa Zaru Lager, a Dark Lager; Australian Pilsner w/ Ume, a Flavored Pilsner; American Pale Ale, a Pale Ale; and Spiral, an American Belgo Syale Ale.
Looking at the taps, the lineup included Kuni no Cho Beer from Osaka, along with regional names such as Minoh Beer and Nara Brewing from Kansai; Yuitriere from Hokkaido; Amakusa Sonar Beer from Kumamoto; Two Rabbits Brewing from Shiga; Shimanami Brewery from Hiroshima; VERTERE from Tokyo; and Revision from the United States. The appeal of the day was being able to compare each region's character through tasting side by side.
umbrella RiB pairs well not only with beer but also with meat dishes and weekend-only limited burgers. From stopping by for a single drink after work to tasting different styles with a few friends, it is the kind of place that works well when you want to take your time enjoying draft beer around Umeda.
