Tap lineup updated at umbrella RiB on March 23, new Fujizakura Weizen on draft
The beer pub “umbrella RiB” in Toganocho, Osaka, will be open from 17:00 to 24:00 on March 23 and is bringing in Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s “Weizen” as the new tap. With 11 taps spanning domestic and overseas breweries, the lineup covers a wide range of styles, from saison to IPA, lager, bitter, and nitro.
Hop BroTap lineup updated at umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Osaka. On March 23, Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s Weizen is the new tap, and it sounds like a strong pick for the first pour.
MugiWait, what’s a Weizen? I’ve heard the name, but I only kind of get it.
Hop BroIt’s a wheat beer, and it tends to have a soft mouthfeel and banana-like aromas. It makes sense that Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s version is described as “safe and steady.”
MugiOhhh! And this day has an 11-tap lineup, right? From saison to IPA to lager, just looking at the list makes it fun.
Hop BroExactly. The wide range of styles is very RiB-like. There’s West Coast IPA, Hazy DIPA, and Session IPA, so you can go bold or take it easy depending on your mood.
MugiWhat is that? Once you say Hazy DIPA, it suddenly sounds like a spell!
Hop BroHazy means it has a cloudy look, and DIPA means a stronger IPA. Session IPA is lighter and easier to drink, so thinking of it as a lineup that lets you play around with hops makes it easier to understand.
MugiI see! And there’s a Nitro Ver. too, which makes me curious. Fine, foamy bubbles sound kind of fancy!
Hop BroNitro uses nitrogen to push the beer gently, so the mouthfeel becomes smoother. Something like Lighthouse’s Micro Porter Nitro really shows off that creamy foam texture.
MugiAnd it opens at 5 p.m., with 3 p.m. openings on weekends and holidays, right? That’s basically the perfect first drink after work!
Hop BroExactly. It’s easy to think about food pairings too, and with bottle sales and banquet plans, it really has that neighborhood beer-pub feel.
MugiAll right, I’m starting with the Weizen and if I’m feeling it, I want to charge into the IPA next! I think today’s first drink is already decided.
At umbrella RiB in Toganocho, Kita Ward, Osaka, the tap list for the March 23 business day has been announced. The new tap is Fujizakura Kogen Beer’s “Weizen (5.5%)” from Yamanashi. It is also described in the post as a “safe, steady choice,” making it an easy first pour if you want a beer with gentle wheat notes.
The lineup for the day totals 11 beers. It is a well-balanced selection that leaves plenty of room to imagine food pairings.
Main taps on March 23
- Tomodachi Saison (Himitsu Beer × torne × Kemupa)
- Code Breaker (Trademark)
- White Grape Saison from Nakasano (Ushitora Brewery)

In terms of styles, it covers West Coast IPA, Hazy Double IPA, Session IPA, plus Fruit Saison, Czech Lager with Sudachi, English Bitter, and Micro Porter Nitro. It works both for days when you want to really enjoy hops and for days when you want to take your time with lower-alcohol beers, which feels very much like RiB.
The shop opens at 17:00 Monday through Friday, and at 15:00 on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. The post also announces craft beer bottle sales and banquet plans, giving it the feel of a neighborhood beer pub that can handle everyday visits as well as group outings.
