Aruka-Aruka in Osaka’s Namba opens at 1 p.m. on July 20 with nine taps
The beer pub café&beer Aruka-Aruka in Namba-Sennichimae, Osaka, will open at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, July 20. Its nine taps are centered on local Osaka beers, ranging from a session red IPA and lemon saison to sake-kasu ale, alongside summer-friendly dishes.
Hop BroNamba has a strong one today: 9 taps at Aruka→Aru ka. café&beer あるか➝アるか opens at 1:00 p.m. on July 20, so this is a full daytime craft beer mission.
MugiWhat! A 1 p.m. opening means I can walk in pretending it's lunch and accidentally go on a beer field trip?!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is sharp. There's 13 Red Ale, a Session Red IPA from あるか→アるか × One's Brewery, HybridTheory from Osaka Namba Brewers, and MARCA's DDH IPA, so it's heavily Osaka-local in the best way.
MugiHold on, DDH IPA sounds like a special move. What exactly is being doubled and hopped here?!
Hop BroDouble dry hopping means adding hops after fermentation to push the aroma way up. It's less about punching you with bitterness and more about the smell leaping out of the glass first.
MugiOhhh! Then Lemon Saison and CIVIC BREWERS' sake-kasu ale sound like a quirky all-star lineup for a tasting flight!
Hop BroThat's why the flow works. Start with Heartland Pilsner to wake up your throat, move into the IPAs, then land on Minoh Beer's STOUT, and you get a clean flavor contour comparison.
MugiYou just said 'flavor contour' like that's normal TV-host language. But with water eggplant sashimi, chicken ham, and gizzard-myoga ginger ajillo, the summer food lineup sounds dangerously good.
Hop BroExactly, and even the uchiwa fans for the heat are a nice touch. Right in the middle of Ura-Namba, it's a super easy beer pub for one quick pint or a proper meal.
MugiI'm done for. My brain is jammed with Lemon Saison and Session Red IPA, and now I need a daytime pint immediately!
