Osaka’s umbrella taps Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose, plus five draft beers
Umbrella, the basement beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki area, opened at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4. The new tap is Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose, alongside Persona from Nara Brewing, Ichigo Ichie from Eigre Brewery x Umbrella, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroWhat caught my eye today is umbrella's new tapping. At umbrella, the beer pub in Sonezaki, Osaka, Minoh Beer’s Plum Gose went on tap at 6 p.m. on August 4.
MugiWait, Plum Gose already sounds stylish! Is it plum like ume, or plum like fruit-plum? I’m curious either way!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: the Gose style is a German beer style with a light salty and tart character. Add plum fruitiness on top, and it sounds super refreshing.
MugiHold on, salty and tart is a lot to process! Why does that make beer sound like an athletic club for pickled plums?
Hop BroFair, but at 4.5%, it sounds like a fruit-forward pour, not something heavy. That kind of balance fits a calm basement beer pub really well.
MugiOoh, and five draft beers with light to rich options is such a nice spread! What else is on the list?
Hop BroNara Brewing’s Persona is a Session IPA, so it keeps the hop aroma but stays easy to keep drinking. Then there’s Ichigo Ichie, a fruit ale from Eagle Brewery and umbrella, and even the name is unfairly good.
MugiSession means a meeting, doesn’t it!? When I hear Session IPA, I picture a beer handing out printouts before the first sip!
Hop BroIn beer, session means it’s built for easy-drinking balance. And with Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager on the same list, both newcomers and regulars have something solid to order.
MugiWhat is that, inescapable happiness? Do I start with the fruit ale, or go straight at the Plum Gose? I’m already cheering in my head!
Hop BroAlso, the pub is closed on August 9 and 11, so checking the business day first matters. Once that’s sorted, opening with Plum Gose feels like the right move.
MugiThen it’s settled, we start with a Minoh Beer toast and chase it with Persona and Ichigo Ichie! After reading this, I want a drink so badly my mouth has already opened for business!
Umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki district, opened at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4. The post highlights a new tap: Minoh Beer’s "Plum Gose" (4.5%).
The current draft lineup includes five beers:
- Persona / Nara Brewing (Nara), Session IPA
- Ichigo Ichie / Eigre Brewery (Hyogo) x Umbrella (Osaka), Fruit Ale
- Plum Gose / Minoh Beer (Osaka), Gose
- Draught Guinness / Guinness (Ireland)
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (Japan), Lager
The list moves from a fruit-forward gose and fruit ale to a Session IPA, stout, and lager, giving drinkers a broad range of styles in one stop. As a basement beer pub in the Umeda area, it reads as a practical place for a relaxed pint after work. The shop also notes closures on Sunday, August 9 and Sunday, August 11.
