The beer pub "Eden Express" in Tennoji Ward, Osaka, is announcing its "Nine Half 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival" for Sunday, April 12, 2026. The draft lineup brings together beers with distinct personalities, including Shirozuru lager, Nanshinshu Beer bitter, Minoh Beer, and Y.MARKET BREWING IPAs.
Hop BroAt the beer pub Eden Express in Tennoji, Osaka, the Nine Half 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival is coming up. It’s scheduled for Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 3:00 to 9:00 p.m., and it’s nice that even an anniversary event is easy to just drop into.
MugiWhat, an anniversary festival and you can just come and go freely? And it’s cash-on too, so you can stop by for just one drink if you want!
Hop BroExactly, and the draft lineup is a traffic jam of nine beers. Lager, bitter, saison, IPA, and more, so even the time spent choosing over the counter is fun.
MugiWhat is that, a setup that fills your head with beer! First, what kind of beer is the Suzume Lager?
Hop BroIt’s Shirozuru’s German-style Helles. With its gentle malt character and soft bitterness, it pairs well with food, so it’s perfect for starting the anniversary celebration.
MugiHelles sounds gentle just from the name! So what about Hima Bitter? Is it lazy? Wait, no, that’s not it, right?
Hop BroIt’s Nanshinshu Beer’s English bitter. It’s light, but you still get a real malt flavor, and as the description says, the lively aroma stands out too, so it’s more contemplative than it looks.
MugiA contemplative beer that’s still lively? That’s unfair! And IBU 77 just makes my mouth tighten up from the number alone!
Hop BroThat’s exactly where Hysteric I.P.A. shines. It’s Y.MARKET BREWING’s American IPA, with a sharply defined hop profile and bitterness you can enjoy head-on.
MugiWow, I’m curious about FANTASMA! Candy and strawberry sounds less like beer and more like a festival reward.
Hop BroAnd even the beers in reserve are packed with character, with nothing left out. Minoh’s Session Black I.P.A., Noroshi COLD I.P.A., and even St. Gallen’s Sakura and Winter Fruit Tart Ale are on the way, so today is basically a day to go drink.
MugiIt’s decided completely! I’m going to go toast in Tennoji and work my way through everything from lager to IPA!
April 12: "Nine Half 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival"
The beer pub "Eden Express" in Kuromoricho, Tennoji Ward, Osaka City, is planning business hours from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 12, 2026, for its Nine Half 9 1/2 Anniversary Festival. It is open to everyone, with a cash-on style that makes it easy to enjoy, and selecting your beer slowly from across the counter is very much part of the shop's charm.
Draft lineup for the day
The day's draft lineup spans lager, bitter, saison, and IPA. First, Suzume Lager (Shirozuru) is a German-style Helles. Its appeal lies in its gentle malt character and mild bitterness, making it an easy beer to pair with food. Hima Bitter (Nanshinshu Beer) is an English bitter, a style that lets you feel the flavor of the malt within its light body. The description also presents it as a beer with a memorable, lively aroma.
Saru-yama Shikao (Minoh Beer) is a Japanese saison. With a solid 7.0% ABV, it has substantial drinking power while still promising the expressive character typical of a saison. Hysteric I.P.A. (Y.MARKET BREWING) is an American-style IPA with a pronounced bitterness at IBU 77. It is a boldly assertive beer, appealing to anyone who wants to enjoy the contours of hops.
Distinctive beers waiting in reserve
The beers waiting in reserve are also worth noting. Y.MARKET BREWING's FANTASMA is a hazy IPA characterized by a balance of sweet aromas reminiscent of candy and strawberry, and grapefruit-like bitterness. Minoh Beer’s Session Black I.P.A. is brewed as a black IPA meant to be enjoyed lightly as spring approaches. Noroshi Brewing’s Noroshi COLD I.P.A. is a refreshing IPA made with freshly harvested rice cooked in a direct-fire rice cooker, giving it a clean, crisp finish.
Also waiting are St. Gallen’s Sakura and Winter Fruit Tart Ale. The former is a cherry blossom-flavored beer made with cherry blossoms and leaves, plus Ina sake rice "Izumibashi"; the latter is a fruit beer combining fully ripened figs from Ashigara with apples, ginger, and cinnamon. In keeping with an anniversary festival, the lineup features nine labels with a wide range of flavors.
