Umbrella in Osaka taps Ise Kadoya’s “Mr. Dunk” and four more beers
Umbrella, a basement beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki area, opened at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17. The tap list included five beers: a DDH West Coast IPA from Ise Kadoya Beer, an Extra Pale Ale from Two Rabbits Brewing, a Fruit Sour Ale from Minoh Beer, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroI’ve got the umbrella tap lineup from Osaka tonight. The pub opens at 6 p.m. on June 17, and it keeps Guinness at the center while still covering a wide craft range.
MugiWait, that’s a full first-pint crisis already. What’s actually on tap?
Hop BroThe headliner is Isekadoya Beer’s Mister Dank, a DDH West Coast IPA. Then there’s Two Rabbits Brewing’s Hopzilla Mega Motueka, Minoh Beer’s Grapefruit Sour, plus Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager.
MugiHold on, what is DDH? That suddenly sounds like a spell, and Mister Dank sounds like a wrestler!
Hop BroDDH means piling on extra dry hops for maxed-out hop aroma. And a West Coast IPA usually gives you crisp bitterness with a clean finish.
MugiWhoa, okay! Then Hopzilla Mega Motueka has huge hop-monster energy, but what does it actually taste like?
Hop BroSince it’s an Extra Pale Ale, it should drink lighter than an IPA, with Motueka bringing a lime-like snap. Then Minoh’s Grapefruit Sour gives you an acidic escape route when you want a reset.
MugiAnd with Guinness and Kirin Lager there too, the range of drinking styles is wild. Craft fans and classic-beer drinkers can both have fun in the same night.
Hop BroExactly. umbrella is also offering a six-beer ticket: six small craft pours for 5,800 yen, and downstairs you can even use it for a Guinness pint. It stays valid for six months.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. With closures on June 21 and June 28, plus the July 11-12 10th anniversary party, I’m already in schedule planning mode!
Hop BroStart with Mister Dank for the hop blast, reset with Grapefruit Sour, then finish with Guinness or Kirin. That one-night tasting flight feeling is what makes this lineup work.
MugiAt this point the cheers route is set the second we walk downstairs. I’m not just craving the first pint anymore, I want the second one too!
Umbrella, the basement beer pub near Osaka’s Ohatsu Tenjin area, opened at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 17. True to its name and focus, the lineup leans toward beers that make sense for people who like both classic pours and modern craft styles.
Beers on tap
- Ise Kadoya Beer (Mie) “Mr. Dunk” - DDH West Coast IPA
- Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) “Hopzilla Motueka” - Extra Pale Ale
- Minoh Beer (Osaka) “Gurefuru Sour” - Fruit Sour Ale
- Guinness - Draught Guinness
- Kirin Beer - Kirin Lager
The selection spans a hop-forward IPA, a bright Extra Pale Ale, a fruit-driven sour, and two familiar staples: Guinness and Kirin Lager. For beer fans, that makes the night easy to tailor, whether the goal is a focused hop session or a slower round that moves from modern craft into classic pint culture.
Umbrella also announced a beer ticket deal: six minimum-size craft-beer servings for 5,800 yen, usable for a Guinness pint at the basement venue as well. The ticket is valid for six months from purchase and will end once sold out.
Looking ahead, the shop listed closures on Sunday, June 21, and Sunday, June 28, plus a 10th-anniversary party for “umbrella RiB” on July 11 and 12.
