umbrella taps Ise Kadoya West Coast Pilsner and Minoh IPA
Umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki area, announced an 18:00 opening on Saturday, August 15. The tap list includes two new kegs from Ise Kadoya Beer and Minoh Beer, alongside a saison from Two Rabbits Brewing, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop Broumbrella in Umeda just put on two fresh taps. Isekadoya Beer and Minoh Beer on the same board is a pretty serious move.
MugiWhat! Isekadoya Beer and Minoh together? Did that hidden basement pub suddenly turn into a festival?
Hop BroThe new pours are West Coast Pilsner and Vitt Natt IPA. The first is 4.5% and crisp, while the second is 6.0% and built for a big hop nose.
MugiWait, what is West Coast supposed to mean? Does it taste like ocean breeze? Am I legally required to surf after one pint?
Hop BroNot quite, and no surfboard included. It usually means firm hop bitterness with a pilsner snap, so the finish should feel sharp and clean.
MugiOkay, then why is Minoh's Vitt Natt IPA labeled Hazy IPA on the tap list? Is it just emotionally cloudy, like me before coffee?
Hop BroThat haze usually hints at fuller mouthfeel and a softer texture. You still get hop aroma, but it lands in a juicier, rounder way.
MugiSo the pilsner goes snap and the hazy goes fluff? Completely different personalities. Those two kegs are already arguing in my head.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the board is stacked too: Two Rabbits Brewing's Saison with Chardonnay Grape, Fruit Saison, plus Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager. It swings from craft-forward to familiar classics.
MugiThat range is great. After-work pint or a slow night of serious drinking, this place sounds easy to settle into, and it's open on Sunday, August 16.
Hop BroRight, and it's closed on August Sundays the 23rd and 30th, so today is the smart move. Calm basement pub, good seats, and a tap list that makes choosing hard in the best way.
MugiDecision made. Start with Isekado for the crisp hit, then Minoh for the aroma blanket, and suddenly it's bar crawl energy from one counter. I want a glass now.
Umbrella opened at 18:00 on Saturday, August 15, and posted an updated draft lineup with two newly tapped beers.
On tap
- Isekado West Coast Pilsner / Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie) 4.5%
- Vit Nat IPA / Minoh Beer (Osaka) 6.0% - listed on tap as a Hazy IPA
- Saison with Chardonnay Grape / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Fruit Saison
- Draught Guinness / Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Brewery
The two new kegs are Ise Kadoya Beer’s West Coast Pilsner and Minoh Beer’s Vit Nat IPA. The first points toward a crisp, hop-forward pilsner profile, while the second is presented as a Hazy IPA, making the pair an easy choice for drinkers looking for something aromatic and fuller in texture.
The rest of the board mixes a fruit saison from Two Rabbits Brewing with familiar classics like Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager, so the range runs from craft-focused pours to well-known standards.
