Osaka pub Umbrella adds Mister Dunk and Hoppzilla Mega Motueka on tap
Beer pub Umbrella in Osaka’s Sonezaki area opened at 6:00 p.m. on June 9 with two new kegs: Ise Kadoya Beer’s Mister Dunk and Two Rabbits Brewing’s Hoppzilla Mega Motueka. Draft Guinness, Kirin Lager, and Umechu are also on the board.
Hop BroTonight's topic is umbrella's new taps. At the beer pub in Osaka's Higashi-Umeda, Isekadoya Beer’s "Mr. Dank" and Two Rabbits Brewing’s "Hopzilla Mega Motueka" went on from 6 PM on June 9.
MugiWait, those names are wild. Mr. Dank and Hopzilla both sound like they kick the door open before you even order!
Hop BroFair read. Mr. Dank is a DDH West Coast IPA, 7.0%, with firm bitterness and that resinous, punchy hop character people chase.
MugiHold on, what's DDH again? That sounds less like beer and more like a finishing move!
Hop BroThink of it as extra hop layering. Brewers add more hops later in the process to push the aroma forward, so the beer gets louder on the nose.
MugiOhh, so Hopzilla Mega Motueka is the friendly monster slot? Big name, but only 4.5% and an Extra Pale Ale? That's suspiciously considerate.
Hop BroExactly. The Motueka-driven aroma usually leans limey and tropical, so even with a lighter body, the hop personality still shows up clearly.
MugiThat makes me want a side-by-side. It's like bitterness versus aroma in the best possible way after work.
Hop BroAnd umbrella does a wide beer range really well. They also have Minoh Beer’s Umechu, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager, so it works for both craft fans and cautious friends.
MugiA cozy basement pub, snacks, fish and chips, and that tap list... no way that's one drink territory. Absolutely not.
Hop BroPlus they sell tasting-size beer tickets, so you can run the six-sip strategy and sample a bunch without overcommitting to one pour.
MugiThen it's settled. Meet at the taps so we can growl over Mr. Dank and grin our way through Hopzilla Mega Motueka.
Beer pub Umbrella, located in the basement of a building near the O-hatsu Tenjin entrance in Osaka’s Sonezaki area, updated its tap list on this date. The room is described as a relaxed, wood-toned hideaway with counter seating, making it an easy stop for a solo pint, an after-work drink, or a second bar of the night.
Two new kegs
- Mister Dunk / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie) 7.0%
- Hoppzilla Mega Motueka / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) 4.5%
The post says both beers were newly tapped. On tap, Mister Dunk is listed as a DDH West Coast IPA, while Hoppzilla Mega Motueka is served as an Extra Pale Ale. It is a compact but hop-forward pair, well suited for a side-by-side tasting.
Tap list for the day
- Mister Dunk / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie) DDH West Coast IPA
- Hoppzilla Mega Motueka / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) Extra Pale Ale
- Umechu / Minoh Beer (Osaka) Fruit Ale

Umbrella’s lineup mixes local craft beer with familiar classics, which is part of the pub’s appeal. The venue also says it keeps a rotating selection of domestic and imported beers, alongside draft Guinness and Kirin Lager. Food is built to match the beer: small plates, salads, cured meats, cheese, and fish and chips are all part of the menu.
The shop also announced a beer ticket set covering six small pours, with draft Guinness included, and noted an upcoming closure on June 14. A 10th anniversary party for umbrella RiB is scheduled for July 11 and 12.
