Baeren's "TG Pilsner" and Ise Kadoya Beer's "DDH Citra Hazy IPA" tapped at Raisindo in Ibaraki
Beer & Music Cafe Raisindo in Ibaraki, Osaka, announced today's draft lineup in an Instagram post on May 29, featuring Baeren Brewery's "TG Pilsner" and Ise Kadoya Beer's "DDH Citra Hazy IPA." Oyster stout and Pilsner Urquell were also on the list, making it a lineup well suited to an evening of music and beer.
Hop BroToday's draft at Raisindo in Ibaraki, Osaka, has a really good lineup. Baeren's "TG Pilsner" and Ise Kadoya Beer's "DDH Citra Hazy IPA" are the stars, and it's a pretty strong setup for a slow, relaxed night of drinking.
MugiWait, you can enjoy a pilsner and a hazy IPA at the same time? And Raisindo is a place where you can enjoy music too? That sounds way too stylish!
Hop BroExactly, and it's open from around 5 p.m., so you can take your time well into the late evening. First up is the TG Pilsner, a classic style with a crisp bitterness and a refreshing finish, and it's easy to see why it was recognized at a world competition.
MugiWow! But when they say it's the "world's best flavor," I feel like I might get a little intimidated. Bitter but easy to drink? How does that balance work?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. A pilsner puts the hop bitterness out front, but it is rounded out by a light malt sweetness and a clean fermentation profile, which makes the easy drinkability stand out. In more technical terms, it's just very well-designed lagering.
MugiWhat is "well-designed lagering" even supposed to mean? But I guess it just means it's really easy to drink, right? So the next one, the "DDH Citra Hazy IPA," is totally different?
Hop BroYeah, this one is almost the opposite. It's all about Citra hops, with layers of grapefruit, peach, and berry aromas. DDH means the dry hops are stacked on heavily, pushing the aroma forward.
MugiYou mean they stack on dry hops heavily?! That's not beer anymore, that's like a birthday cake's worth of aroma information!
Hop BroThat's a great way to put it. And with Oyster Stout, Pilsner Urquell, and SORACHI 1984 all on the same day, you can travel from lager to dark beer in one night.
MugiWhoa! A tasting battle in one night sounds too fun! After a dark beer with oyster umami, a hop-exploding IPA would keep my mouth so busy in the best way!
Hop BroSince Raisindo is a place built around music and beer, the nice thing is that you're not just drinking, you're enjoying the whole atmosphere. Tonight I'd start with the TG Pilsner, then sink into the aroma of the DDH Citra Hazy IPA.
MugiI get it! I want a drink right now too. Listening to music at Raisindo and going from a pilsner to a hazy IPA sounds absolutely perfect!
Beer & Music Cafe Raisindo in Ibaraki, Osaka, revealed today's draft selection on Instagram on May 29, 2026. Business hours are around 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., with last entry at 9:30 p.m. Food last order is 9:30 p.m., pizza last order is 9:00 p.m., and drinks last order is 10:00 p.m., making this a place geared toward a night when you want to take your time and work your way through a few glasses.
The main pours of the day are Baeren Brewery's "TG Pilsner" and Ise Kadoya Beer's "DDH Citra Hazy IPA." TG Pilsner is introduced as having "the world's best flavor in its category at a German international competition," and it is a pilsner whose hallmark is a crisp bitterness and easy drinkability. DDH Citra Hazy IPA, meanwhile, is a hazy IPA pushed to the limit with Citra hops, a highly aromatic beer layered with grapefruit, peach, and berry notes.
Also on tap are Iwate Kura Beer’s Oyster Stout, Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA, Draft Pilsner Urquell, and SAPPORO BEER’s SORACHI 1984. From the clean snap of lager to hop-forward IPA, from a dark beer with oyster-derived umami to a classic Czech pilsner, the lineup lets you travel across a wide range of styles in a single night.
Raisindo is, as its name suggests, a beer pub centered on music and beer. In the Osaka Hokusetu area, it is a good fit for people who want to drink while keeping up with tap changes alongside a meal. Its calm basement location in Socio 2 B-114 also helps make this a place where the pleasure of savoring what is in the glass stands out more than any flashiness.
