Ibaraki's BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo announces 9 beers including Baeren for March 29
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo in Ibaraki, Osaka, has published its tap list for Sunday, March 29, 2026. Although it is normally closed that day, it will be open from around 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., with a varied lineup that includes limited releases from Baeren Brewery, Isekadoya Beer, Pilsner Urquell, and more.
Hop BroThe tap list at Raisendo in Ibaraki, Osaka is pretty interesting today. Even though it's their regular day off, they'll be open on March 29 from around 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., so it's an easy stop on the way home from cherry-blossom viewing.
MugiWhat! They're opening even though it's their day off!? Being able to have a drink after cherry-blossom viewing is just the best!
Hop BroThe main highlight is the limited release from Baeren Brewery. They've got Chocolate Stout, and it's the kind that comes in with the toasty aroma and depth of roasted malt.
MugiIt has chocolate in it? Wait, is it sweet? I'm curious what exactly is going on with the toastiness of a stout!
Hop BroIn practice, instead of adding chocolate, brewers often create that cocoa-like aroma through the character of roasted malt. It's not just bitterness; there is a biscuit-like savoriness too, so it's fun to sip slowly.
MugiOhhh! Then next I want the West Coast Pilsner! A pilsner with West Coast in the name already feels packed with information!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part too: Isekadoya Beer's Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific is a beer that adds a hop edge to the easy-drinking character of a pilsner. It's light, but the aroma stands out, so putting it after a stout resets your palate.
MugiA palate reset!? That's such a convenient feature!? Having a tasting framework makes you sound like an expert all of a sudden!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984 are on the list too, so it's easy to compare classic pilsner character with the individuality of a Japanese hop. Urquell brings out the malt sweetness, while SORACHI gives off that lemongrass-like aroma.
MugiWow, SORACHI 1984 sounds cool just from the name! That lemongrass-like character would feel amazing in spring!
Hop BroWhat's especially great is that they still have Rauch Bock, Vienna Lager, and Rye Beer coming up next. Between the smoky notes, malt character, and spiciness, the flavor range around Baeren is impressive.
MugiAnd the fact that the food is so good too is just unfair! If they've got ragout spaghetti, venison, and even zangi, then you basically have to go there hungry for beer!
Hop BroExactly. True to the name BEER & MUSIC, the nice thing is that you can enjoy yourself slowly while eating, not just drinking. Today is the kind of place where you start with a stout, finish with a pilsner, and then want one more at the end.
MugiYeah, after reading this I'm done for! Now I feel like having one more, and I want to do a tasting comparison at Raisendo!
