Raisindou in Ibaraki opens early on June 20 with six draft beers
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindou in Ibaraki, Osaka, opens early on Saturday, June 20. The draft lineup includes Isekadoya Beer’s limited IPA Mr.DANK, alongside food such as eisbein and smoked dishes.
Hop BroToday, Osaka's BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindo is doing an early 4 p.m. opening, and they're pouring six beers on tap.
MugiWhat! That's basically the gateway to day drinking! A music cafe with six craft taps on a Saturday sounds unfairly strong.
Hop BroThe headliner is Isekadoya Beer's Mr.DANK IPA. It's a 7.0% DDH West Coast IPA with berry, tropical fruit, and even a faint diesel note, but it finishes crisp.
MugiHold on, what is DDH!? And diesel is allowed in a tasting note? My brain has filed a complaint!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Extra dry-hopping means building up a bigger hop aroma, and dank is that resinous, green, punchy hop character.
MugiOhhh, so it's basically maximum aroma mode! That makes the diesel thing less scary... maybe only slightly less scary.
Hop BroAnd the rest is stacked. Hop Kotan's AKIRA Bayashi is a toasty Märzenbier, Baeren's N Classic is an approachable Dortmunder, and Iwate Kura's Passion Ale is a tropical, tangy Fruit Wheat Ale.
MugiNo way, that's from lagers to tropics in one lineup. Add draft Pilsner Urquell and SORACHI 1984, and the taps are basically throwing a beer festival.
Hop BroThe food knows what it's doing too. Eisbein and smoked dishes lock in with the lagers, while zangi and fries line up nicely with the IPA. There's pizza and ragù tagliatelle too.
MugiThis is the kind of menu where even the order matters! Do I start crisp, or let Mr.DANK punch me in the face right away?
Hop BroThey've even teased Baeren's kabosu radler and Ihatov no Umi next, which gives it real neighborhood pub energy. I'd want to open with a pilsner and let the music carry the rest.
MugiThat's it, straight to Ibaraki, Osaka. I want to slide in at 4 p.m., hear the music, and raise the first glass immediately!

Draft lineup
The day’s draft selection features six beers. The headline pour is Isekadoya Beer’s limited release `Mr.DANK : DDH West Coast IPA`, a 7.0% IPA described as offering strong dank aromatics with berry, tropical fruit, and a hint of diesel character.
Other beers on tap include `AKIRA 囃子 : Märzenbier` from Hopkotan Brewing, a malty Märzen; `N クラシック : Dortmunder` from Baeren Bier, a more approachable take on the brewery’s classic; and `パッションエール : Fruit Wheat Ale` from Iwate Kura Beer, known for tropical fruit aroma and acidity. The lineup also includes draft Pilsner Urquell and `SORACHI 1984 : Pilsner` from SAPPORO BEER.
Food pairing
The food menu includes eisbein, homemade oil sardines, smoked kamaboko, zangi, potato fries, pizza, and tagliatelle with ragù sauce. The lineup makes it easy to pair lagers with meat dishes and smoked items, while IPAs work well with fried food and richer plates.
Coming next
The post also previews upcoming taps such as Baeren Bier’s `Kabosu Radler` and `Ihatove no Umi : Salty Lager`, suggesting even more variety to come. The mix of beer, food, and music reflects Raisindou’s identity as a neighborhood beer pub built around draft beer culture.
