Two Pre-Opened Beers Arrive Ahead of the Daisen G Beer TTO at Whity Umeda
Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda has released advance tapping information ahead of the “Daisen G Beer Tap Takeover” scheduled for March 28. As event beers, the “Pilsner” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Sono Sen” are being served a little early.
Hop BroThe advance taps in the Umeda underground mall are heating up. At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, the taps are already starting to move toward the March 28 “Daisen G Beer Tap Takeover.”
MugiWhat, you can already drink them!? Being able to do your homework before the event is irresistible for beer lovers!
Hop BroWhat’s out early this time is Daisen G Beer’s Pilsner and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Sono Sen.” The Pilsner is a clean, classic lager that’s just right as a first pint.
MugiI hear Pilsner a lot, but what do you mean by “clean, classic”? You’re making a face like it’s complicated!
Hop BroIn short, the malt sweetness and hop bitterness are nicely balanced, so it finishes cleanly. It’s the kind of beer that resets your palate before or after rich food.
MugiOhhh! Then what about “Sono Sen”? 8.5% alcohol sounds like the name is cute, but the contents are strong…!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part: “Sono Sen” is an imperial IPA in the IPA family. It has a dry finish that makes it easy to pair with food, and you can really feel its connection to Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Sono Ju.”
MugiWait, what do you mean by the lineage of “Sono Ju”? It jumped from 10 to 1000 out of nowhere!?
Hop BroYeah, there’s a playful side to it too. Setting aside the number games, what makes these two fun is the comparison tasting: a standard Pilsner and an aggressive imperial IPA with a big contrast.
MugiGot it! So starting with the Pilsner to get things in order, then hitting the Sono Sen for a bigger punch sounds like the right move! It seems like the food will keep going too, so this is dangerous!
Hop BroAnd the best part is being able to drop in casually in the Whity Umeda underground street. Having a casual beer in Umeda is the best, so it makes you want to toast before the event even starts.
MugiExactly! I can’t stop wanting to drink before the main event, so let’s use today’s homework as an excuse and have one now!
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda inside NOMOKA, the Osaka Umeda underground shopping street, the taps are starting to line up for the weekend event. In an Instagram post ("Two days until the event / event beers are being opened in advance"), the shop announced the upcoming “Daisen G Beer Tap Takeover” set for Saturday, March 28. It also introduced the beers being opened early for the day.
The specific beers named in the post are Daisen G Beer’s “Pilsner” and Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Sono Sen.” The former is a classic lager recommended as a first pint; the latter is an imperial IPA with 8.5% ABV, emphasized for its dry finish and how well it pairs with food. The post also references Shiga Kogen Beer’s popular “Sono Ju,” presenting “Sono Sen” as part of that lineage, which makes the tasting comparison even more interesting.
The shop also mentioned its appearance at last weekend’s music event, creating a path for people who missed drinks at the venue to continue the experience at the store. In addition to the convenience of the underground mall location, the easygoing beer-pub atmosphere makes it easy to stop by in everyday life, which is a welcome setup for beer fans in the Umeda area to do a little “pre-study” before the event.
If you are aiming for the main TTO, it makes sense to secure the linked beers in advance. Whether you reset your palate with the standard Pilsner or take your time with Sono Sen and food, this is the kind of moment that makes you want to raise a glass a little early while imagining the weekend tap list.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the venue’s official channels for the latest details.
