Hop BroThe Osaka Sonezaki beer pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on May 17. What’s great is that you can take your time comparing draft beers in a calm underground space.
MugiWhoa, an underground beer pub sounds like a secret base! And five draft beers right from the start? It feels like they’re making it hard to choose on purpose!
Hop BroThe one to watch is Bloomin’s Session IPA "Abiru Hodo YOU" from Toyama. It has a strong hop aroma, but it’s still easy to drink, so it’s perfect as the first glass.
MugiWhat even is a Session IPA? Does easy to drink mean you can gulp it down, but it still has the aroma?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a style with a relatively modest alcohol presence that still keeps the enjoyment of aroma. So the appeal is that it’s hop-forward without being too heavy.
MugiOhhh! Then I’m curious about the Hyogo Eigle Brewery and Umbrella collaboration, ★Ichigoichie! The name is already cute, and it sounds delicious!
Hop BroThe key point here is the fruity character typical of a Fruit Ale. It also has Umbrella’s own personality, so it’s not just sweet; it feels like it’s winning with a well-rounded aroma.
MugiWhen I hear fruity character, I picture dessert, but it’s still a beer you can actually drink! And now there’s this term German Pilsner too, which sounds complicated!
Hop BroMinoh Beer’s Spring Lager is listed as that German Pilsner. Its signature is a clean malt flavor and crisp finish, a classic style that makes you think, 'Yeah, this is just plain good,' even though it’s not flashy.
MugiGot it, so it’s one of those easy-drinking beers with malt flavor and a crisp finish! And since Draft Guinness is available by the pint, ending with a dark beer feels really grown-up!
Hop BroAnd since Kirin Lager is on the board too, you can build a flow from craft beer to standards. As a night of comparison tasting, it’s a really satisfying lineup.
MugiWow, just reading this makes me thirsty! I already want to try all five, and now I’m craving a proper toast with a pint of Guinness at the end!
A notice has arrived from the beer pub "umbrella" in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka, announcing that it will open at 6 p.m. on Monday, May 17. The shop is located in the Ohatsutenjin area, which is easy to reach on foot from major Osaka Metro districts, and its appeal lies in a calm underground space where you can take your time comparing draft beers.
There are five draft beers on tap that day. The lineup includes craft beer as well as dark beer and standard lagers, making it easy to choose according to your mood. Of particular note is "Abiru Hodo YOU," a Session IPA from Bloomin in Toyama. It is introduced as a beer with a pronounced hop aroma that still goes down lightly.
Another distinctive choice is "★Ichigoichie," a collaboration between Hyogo’s Eigle Brewery and Umbrella. Its fruity character, true to a Fruit Ale, stands out, and it is a label that reflects the shop’s originality. Also on offer is Minoh Beer’s "Spring Lager," listed as a German Pilsner, a classic beer that lets you enjoy a clean malt flavor and crisp finish.
The draft lineup is as follows.
- Abiru Hodo YOU / Bloomin (Toyama) Session IPA
- ★Ichigoichie / Eigle Brewery (Hyogo) × Umbrella (Osaka) Fruit Ale
- Spring Lager / Minoh Beer (Osaka) German Pilsner
- Draft Guinness / Guinness Draught Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (JP) Lager
Draft Guinness is also available by the pint. It should be easy to build an evening around sampling the craft beers, then ending with a solid pint of dark beer. It looks set to be a night with the pleasure of working through five draft beers one by one in a quiet underground beer pub.
