Osaka’s umbrella introduces five draft beers, opening at 6 p.m. on April 27
The beer pub umbrella in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, will open at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 27. Five beers will be on draft: an IPA from Kakegawa Farm Brewing, a sour from Nara Brewing, Minoh Beer, draft Guinness, and Kirin Lager, along with a Guinness-linked campaign.
Hop BroOsaka’s underground beer pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. It’s close to the station and has a calm hideaway vibe with the warmth of wood.
MugiReally? An underground hideaway!? One minute from the station means I’d get pulled in after work...
Hop BroAnd the taps are great that day. The five draft beers of the day are lined up neatly, from IPA to lager.
MugiWhat!? IPA, sour, stout... the flavor range is so wide I’d get drunk just from the amount of information!
Hop BroFirst up is Shizuoka’s Kakegawa Farm Brewing Dank Hop IPA. The hop aroma and bitterness take center stage, and it’s a style with a crisp outline.
MugiDank? Like muddy!? Saying 'hop outline' suddenly makes it sound so advanced...
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s rich and green in aroma. Next, Nara Brewing’s Study in Rouge is a sour that shows acidity and sweet nuances, perfect for a change of pace.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just sour! Then Osaka’s Saruyama Shikao is interesting too - it has a local feel and even the name is strong!
Hop BroExactly, it’s a Minoh Beer release, and the reassuring familiarity of a staple is nice. Plus Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager are there too, so it’s easy to build all the way to the finish.
MugiWait, even Guinness!? And there’s also a campaign where you can win goods - that’s unfair... too many reasons to drink!
Hop BroAnd there are beer vouchers for six servings at the smallest size, so it’s friendly for people who just want a light drink. At this point, we pretty much have to dive underground in Umeda for a pint.
MugiYeah, it’s decided for today! If we toast in that underground spot, I’ll want to go all in on IPA, Guinness, and lager...
The beer pub "umbrella," located underground in Higashi-Umeda, Osaka, has announced that it will open at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 27. The shop is a one-minute walk from Higashi-Umeda Station and also within walking distance of Umeda and Osaka stations. It is a calm, hideaway-style spot with a counter that gives off the warmth of wood.
This day’s post also introduced today’s draft beers alongside the opening announcement. The lineup consists of five clearly distinct styles.
Today's Draft Beer
- Dank Hop IPA / Kakegawa Farm Brewing (Shizuoka)
- Study in Rouge / Nara Brewing (Nara)
- Saruyama Shikao / Minoh Beer (Osaka)
- Draft Guinness / Guinness

It’s a wide-ranging lineup, spanning IPA, fruit sour, Japanese rice brut, stout, and lager.
