BEER HUNTING URAWA taps real-ale O-saru IPA and 10 more beers on June 24
BEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa updated its tap list for Wednesday, June 24. The lineup includes a real-ale pour of O-saru IPA from Minoh Beer, house beers from U.B.P BREWERY, and selections from Nobody Brewing, Daisen G Beer, and Minamishinshu Beer.
Hop BroToday’s topic is BEER HUNTING URAWA. Their June 24 tap update features Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA in a real ale version, and that’s the headline pour.
MugiWhat! Osaru IPA as real ale? What does that even change compared to the usual draft?
Hop BroQuite a bit, actually. It’s served by hand pump, so the carbonation stays softer and the aroma and malt character come through more gently.
MugiWait, what is that! A hand-pulled beer? So the staff get a workout every time they pour one?
Hop BroThat’s not totally wrong. The point is the more natural mouthfeel. Less fizz, smoother texture, and it pairs really well with food.
MugiOhhh! And U.B.P BREWERY also has four house-brewed beers on tap? That’s a strong lineup already.
Hop BroExactly, and the range of styles is solid too. Kick Off Pils is a pilsner, Asaka no Kisaki Ale is a mikan ale, Saihaku is a Belgian wit, and OWN GOAL IPA brings the hop bite.
MugiAnd Nobody Brewing has three beers lined up too! The Slowcore, The Free Jazz, The Triphop... this tap list suddenly sounds like a music festival.
Hop BroThen you add Daisen G Beer’s pale ale, Minoh Beer’s tea bitter, and Minamishinshu Beer’s dunkelweizen, and the flavor coverage gets ridiculously wide.
MugiAnd the food menu sounds serious too. Shumai, steamed shrimp tom yum salad, chicken liver confit... the food means business. My stomach already walked in before me.
MugiI’m sold. I want to start with real ale Osaru IPA and then grin helplessly while choosing between Saihaku and the dunkelweizen.
Hop BroThat’s the right move. Give me shumai on the side and a pint in Kita-Urawa right now, because now I want this lineup too.
BEER HUNTING URAWA, a craft beer pub near Kita-Urawa Station, announced its draft lineup for Wednesday, June 24. The post highlights a hand-pumped real-ale version of O-saru IPA, giving regular tap beer fans a chance to try a different texture and aroma.
Taps for the day

The house-brewed U.B.P BREWERY beers cover a pilsner, a citrus-forward ale, a Belgian wit, and an IPA. Around them, the list stretches from Daisen G Beer's Pale Ale to three styles from Nobody Brewing, plus Minoh Beer's tea bitter and Minamishinshu Beer's Dunkel Weizen. It is a broad lineup that invites both comparison tasting and a slow, food-friendly session.
Food-wise, the pub leans into shumai and small plates: Tom Yum shrimp salad, carrot rappe, chicken liver confit, and fried eggplant are all listed in the post. Non-beer options are also well represented, including several lemon sours and a chunky citrus sour. The result is a place that works as both a beer destination and a casual dinner stop. The post also notes a weekend appearance by Koki and Nose Curry, suggesting the venue’s schedule remains active beyond the June 24 service.
