BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindou updates one tap and limited kegs on Aug. 22
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindou in Ibaraki, Osaka opened early at 4:00 p.m. on Aug. 22. The lineup featured a new Pilsner Urquell tap plus kegs from Ise Kadoya, Baeren, Iwate Kura, and more.
Hop BroToday's Raisindo tap refresh is a good one. On August 22 they open at 4 p.m., and it sounds like the perfect day for music and draft beer together.
MugiWhat! 4 p.m. opening is early, that's a serious head start. Music plus beer sounds like the kind of combo that makes you forget to leave.
Hop BroThe big draw is fresh Pilsner Urquell. It's the classic Czech pilsner, with crisp bitterness and a clean malt snap that feels great.
MugiWhoa, but newly tapped sounds like some secret machine ritual. So it just means they hooked up that keg today, right?
Hop BroExactly, it's basically swapping in a new keg. Right after tapping, the aroma and carbonation can feel extra lively, and beer people get weirdly excited about that.
MugiNo way, that's an opening-day bonus for beer. So the rest of the draft list is pretty colorful too?
Hop BroVery colorful, it's a wide-swing lineup. They've got Isekadoya Beer's Electro Squash Sour IPA, Baeren's Tsunagu Beer Amber Lager, Iwatekura Beer's Raspberry Pink, THUNDERSTRUCK IPA, and even SORACHI 1984.
MugiHold on, Sour IPA sounds like sour and bitter are arguing in the same glass. And Raspberry Pink sounds cute, but maybe secretly dangerous.
Hop BroThey're arguing, but it works. Acidity and hop aroma together can come off bright and citrusy. Raspberry Pink leans fruity, while the amber lager brings calm malt depth.
MugiThen I need the next kegs too. That coming-soon crew had Peach Weizen from Minoh Beer, right? What even is a weizen, and why does it already sound like dessert?
Hop BroWeizen is a wheat-malt beer with a soft texture and fluffy aroma. Minoh's Peach Weizen with Hakuto peaches sounds like it's going to be seriously aromatic.
MugiAnd the food range is wild, from eisbein to zangi. I can already picture starting light with the Chinese-style cucumbers, then camping out with pizza and lager.
Hop BroPlus they're selling Ibaraki Bakuon Fest tickets at the shop for October 3 and 4, so it basically dares you to start today with a proper first pint.
MugiAt this point my reason to drink is fully assembled! I want to hit Raisindo, start with Pilsner Urquell, and let the music take over.
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindou, a beer pub in Ibaraki City, Osaka, opened early at 4:00 p.m. on Aug. 22. True to its name, the venue pairs beer with music, and the day’s post highlighted a broad tap list centered on one new keg.
On tap
The fresh opening was Pilsner Urquell, a Czech classic. Other beers listed for the day included Ise Kadoya Brewery’s Electrosquash Sour IPA, Baeren Brewery’s Tsunagu Beer Kobaicha no Lager, Iwate Kura Beer’s Raspberry Pink, a collaboration from REPUBREW and open air brewing called THUNDERSTRUCK IPA, and SAPPORO BEER’s SORACHI 1984.
More to come
Coming up next were Iwate Kura Beer’s English IPA and Baeren Brewery’s The Alchemist’s Golden Lager. Coming soon were Baeren Brewery’s Classic, SUNTORY’s Kaoru Ale, and Minoh Beer’s Momo Weizen (Hakuhou), giving the bar a mix of lager, fruit beer, and hop-forward options.
Food pairing
The food menu leaned into beer-friendly classics: eisbein, cucumber in a Chinese-style dressing, margherita pizza with homegrown basil, smoked tofu, chicken tenderloin, kamaboko, potato salad, sauerkraut-style cabbage, zangi, and fries. It is the kind of lineup that makes it easy to settle in for a long session.
The shop was also handling beer tickets for the Ibaraki Bakuneon Festival 2026, scheduled for Oct. 3 and 4. For drinkers in Osaka looking for a pub with rotating taps and a relaxed atmosphere, Raisindou had a notably balanced lineup that day.
