Five beers, including Nara Brewing's Hazy IPA, at Osaka's umbrella opening at 6:00 PM on March 31
The beer pub umbrella in Sonezaki, Osaka, opens at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, March 31. The tap lineup includes five beers ranging from craft to classic choices, such as Nara Brewing's "Charm" and Kamigata Beer’s "Bubbles Sour," making it a great selection for an after-work drink.
Hop BroIn the basement of Sonezaki, Osaka, the beer pub umbrella is kicking off with a 6:00 PM opening on March 31. It's in a spot that's easy to drop by after work, so I can't help but get excited from the very first pint.
MugiWait, it's on the first basement floor and still that exciting?! An after-work drink is basically the moment your brain gets taken over by beer!
Hop BroOn tap they have Nara Brewing's Charm, and it's a Hazy IPA. It's the kind of beer where you drink in the aroma, with hops rising softly and that hazy appearance included.
MugiOhhh! But wait, what even is a Hazy IPA? Is it a foggy beer? It just looks cloudy, which somehow makes it sound hard to understand!
Hop BroBasically, it's an juicy, aroma-focused IPA. Rather than pushing bitterness hard, it's about enjoying tropical aromas and a soft mouthfeel.
MugiI see! Then Kamigata Beer’s Bubbles Sour sounds fun just from the name, all fizzy and lively! Sour beers take a little courage, but now I'm curious~
Hop BroExactly, and that's where the way the acidity comes through matters. Plus, Minoh Beer's Mugicha Bitter is an English Bitter, so you can slowly enjoy the malt depth. Even though all three are from Kansai, they each have totally different personalities.
MugiWait, isn't English Bitter just bitter? And that Mugicha name sounds so friendly, like barley tea, but the beer itself is seriously the real deal!
Hop BroThat's what's interesting: because Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager are on the list, you can move between craft beer adventure and the安心感 of the classics. It's a broad, welcoming tap lineup, very much like umbrella.
MugiAnd if there are beer tickets for six pours, then it's basically all-you-can-compare! Tonight I want to go from Bubbles Sour to Charm in order~!
Hop BroThen the ending is already decided. A night of tasting and comparing beers in the basement of Sonezaki - with this lineup, even I as the owner want to go.
MugiExactly! Tonight at umbrella, I want to drink the character of Kansai and the classics all together~!
The beer pub umbrella, located on the B1 floor in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, opens at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, March 31. In a post, the tap list for the day was revealed.
Today's Tap List
- Nara Brewing "Charm" - Hazy IPA
- Kamigata Beer "Bubbles Sour" - Sour Ale
- Minoh Beer "Mugicha Bitter" - English Bitter
- Draught Guinness
- Kirin Beer "Kirin Lager" - Lager
Looking at the lineup, it spans a wide range of drinking styles: an aroma-driven Hazy IPA, a tart Sour Ale, an English Bitter that emphasizes malt character, and timeless staples like Guinness and lager. While centered on craft beer, it also includes beers that are easy to choose as a first drink, which is very much in keeping with umbrella's style.
What stands out is the fact that three popular Kansai breweries, Nara Brewing, Kamigata Beer, and Minoh Beer, are all on tap at once. Tasting these three beers with very different personalities side by side makes it easy to feel the differences in hop brightness, how the acidity comes through, and the depth of the malt. With Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager added to the mix, the tap list creates an experience that moves back and forth between craft beer and familiar classics.
umbrella is a beer pub in Sonezaki that's easy to stop by from the Umeda area of Osaka, and its calm underground setting is one of its defining features. It's a place that works both for settling in after work and for trying a few beers you're curious about, little by little.
