Osaka Umeda pub umbrella opens June 29 with five draft beers
Basement beer pub umbrella in Osaka’s Umeda area opens at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 29. The tap list includes Kasumi from Shiga Kogen Beer, Setouchi Lemon Pilsner from Nagahama Roman Beer, and three more beers spanning craft favorites and classic staples.
Hop BroUmbrella down in Umeda is pouring five taps tonight from 6 p.m. on June 29, and I like how they mixed craft picks with reliable classics.
MugiWait, a balanced tap roster underground? That sounds like beer tryouts. Who made the cut?
Hop BroFirst star is Shiga Kogen's Kasumi, a Session Hazy IPA. It drinks easy, but the hop aroma still pops, which is dangerously good in warm weather.
MugiWhoa, but what is hazy? That suddenly sounds like chemistry class with a pint.
Hop BroCloudy look, softer bitterness, big aroma, that's the idea. Think juicy hop vibes instead of a tongue-slap of bitterness, so it's an easy entry beer.
MugiOkay, I could do that! And Nagahama Roman Beer's Setouchi Lemon Pilsner sounds like it comes with its own citrus soundtrack.
Hop BroThen you've got Minoh Beer's black tea bitter, plus draft Guinness and Kirin Lager. That craft-meets-classic setup is very umbrella, and it makes the whole menu flexible.
MugiHold on, with black tea bitter, do I drink tea or beer? My brain just spilled foam.
Hop BroIt's still beer, just with a gentle tea-like aroma and a touch of tannic bite, so it plays well with food. And the 5800-yen beer ticket covers six small craft pours and even works for a Guinness pint.
MugiSix pours means I can build a full tasting route! But July 5, 11, and 12 are off days, right? I need an open-day check before I sprint there.
Hop BroExactly. Start with Kasumi for aroma, slide into the lemon pilsner, then land on Guinness or lager and you've got a perfect drinking route.
MugiMy throat is reacting already. Once we hit Umeda, let's head straight downstairs and hold a first-pint strategy meeting before the toast!
Draft lineup for June 29
Umbrella, a basement beer pub in Osaka’s Umeda district, opens at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 29. The venue’s latest tap list mixes Japanese craft beers with familiar classics, giving drinkers a range that works for both comparison tasting and an easy first pint.
The craft side starts with Kasumi from Shiga Kogen Beer, a Session Hazy IPA. It is joined by Setouchi Lemon Pilsner from Nagahama Roman Beer and Red Tea Bitter from Minoh Beer, creating a lineup with clearly different flavor profiles.
Craft meets classics
The remaining taps are Draught Guinness from Ireland and Kirin Lager from Kirin Brewery. That balance is notable: instead of leaning only toward hop-forward craft beers, the pub also keeps a stout and a clean lager on hand, so guests can move from aromatic and citrusy to roasty or crisp depending on the mood.
- Kasumi / Shiga Kogen Beer
- Setouchi Lemon Pilsner / Nagahama Roman Beer
- Red Tea Bitter / Minoh Beer
- Draught Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Brewery
Beer tickets available
Umbrella is also selling beer tickets, good for six smallest servings of craft beer. Guinness pint pours are accepted as well. The ticket costs 5,800 yen and is valid for six months from the date of purchase, while supplies last. It is a practical option for anyone who wants to sample a few different beers across one visit.
Upcoming closure
The pub is closed on Sunday, July 5. It will also be closed on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12 for umbrella RiB’s 10th anniversary party. If you are planning a stop in Umeda for Guinness and craft beer, it is worth checking the schedule before heading out.
