Raisin-dou in Ibaraki posts a fresh tap list with Ise Kadoya’s Mr.DANK
BEER & MUSIC カフェ レーズン堂 in Ibaraki, Osaka updated its June 17 draft list with a new pour from Ise Kadoya Beer. The lineup spans Märzen, Dortmunder, Fruit Wheat Ale, Pilsner Urquell, and Sorachi 1984, with more beers queued next.
Hop BroToday's topic is Raisin-do's new tap: on June 17, BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisin-do put Isekadoya Beer's Mr.DANK : DDH West Coast IPA on draft.
MugiWait, the name Mr.DANK already sounds intense... and DDH West Coast IPA is just acronym traffic!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. DDH means double dry-hopped, so they load in extra hops after fermentation to crank up the aroma.
MugiWhoa, so it's an aroma boost mode! But 'dank' and a 'diesel note' do not mean I'm drinking fuel, right?!
Hop BroDefinitely not. That faint diesel note usually means a resinous, deep hop character layered over berry and tropical aromas, with firm bitterness but a clean finish.
MugiWhat is that combo! Bitter but still crisp sounds like a scary-looking senior who's secretly super polite.
Hop BroAnd Raisin-do didn't stop there. The tasting lineup is strong: AKIRA Hayashi Märzenbier from Hop Kotan, N Classic Dortmunder from Baeren, and Passion Ale from Iwate Kura.
MugiSeriously, lagers and fruit beers in the same list? Add draft Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984, and my 'just one glass' plan is already dead.
Hop BroIt gets worse in the best way: kabosu radler on deck, with Ihatov no Umi Salty Lager waiting after that, plus eisbein, smoked dishes, and house-made oil sardines.
Hop BroAt that point, start with Mr.DANK and then glide into a Marzen or Dortmunder before finishing on pilsner. That's the route.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold. A night of music and draft beer sounds so good I'm basically being pulled into Raisin-do already!
BEER & MUSIC カフェ レーズン堂, a beer pub in Ibaraki, Osaka, posted its draft list for June 17, 2026.
The new tap is Mr.DANK : DDH West Coast IPA from Ise Kadoya Beer. The pub describes it as bringing together berry and tropical notes with a hint of diesel-like character, while keeping the bitterness clear and the finish clean. It sounds bold, but not heavy.
The current lineup also includes AKIRA 囃子 : Märzenbier from Hoppu Kodan Brewery, N クラシック : Dortmunder from Baeren Brewery, パッションエール : Fruit Wheat Ale from Iwate Kura Beer, IPA from Kinshachi Beer, ドラフト・ピルスナーウルケル : Drought Pilsner Urquell from Pilsner Urquell, and SORACHI 1984 : Pilsner from SAPPORO BEER. It is a broad spread, from classic lagers to aromatic IPAs and fruit-forward wheat beer.
Next in line are Baeren Brewery’s かぼすラードラー : Radler and, after that, イーハトーブの海 : Salty Lager. With music in the room and food such as eisbein, house-smoked dishes, zangi, pizza, and pasta, the pub looks well suited for a relaxed tasting session rather than a quick pint.
