umbrella in Osaka opens at 6 p.m. with five beers on tap
The basement beer pub umbrella in Osaka’s Sozenji area opens at 6 p.m. on August 10. The tap list includes Two Rabbits Brewing’s Hazy IPA and fruit saison, Minoh Beer’s gose, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroToday's topic is umbrella's opening night. This underground beer pub in Sonezaki, Kita-ku, Osaka starts pouring at 6:00 PM on August 10.
MugiWhat, right at 6 PM!? Just hearing underground beer pub makes it sound like a secret base, and I'm already making my first-beer face!
Hop BroAnd the draft list is five taps, wide range. You've got Two Rabbits Brewing's Hazy IPA Doctor Hopsome, plus Minoh Beer, Guinness, and Kirin all lined up.
MugiNo way, Doctor Hopsome sounds like a beer that should come with a waiting room. So what makes a Hazy IPA different from a regular IPA?
Hop BroThat's the key part. It's a cloudy IPA style with tropical aroma and softer bitterness. It can feel juicy, but the hop character still shows up clearly.
MugiOhhh! Then what exactly is a saison anyway in Saison with Chardonnay Grape? That name is so fancy I feel underdressed already.
Hop BroA saison is light and spicy, a Belgian-style beer, and here it gets layered with Chardonnay-like fruit character. It can even give off a subtle wine-like vibe.
MugiHold on, they also have Minoh Beer's Plum Gose? Explain gose immediately. That sounds like either a spell or a hot spring town!
Hop BroGose is known for salty, gentle tartness, and with plum you get a sweet-tangy edge too. Then you've also got draft Guinness and Kirin Lager, so both classic drinkers and adventure drinkers are covered.
MugiAnd they might stay open till midnight depending on the crowd? That's basically an excuse to stay out. Telling late visitors to message ahead is way too considerate, and now I want to go right at opening.
Hop BroThat calm underground pub atmosphere is part of umbrella's charm, especially with everything from IPA to lager on offer. I'm already aiming for that first pint at 6.
MugiThen it's settled: battle for the first pour. I'll go for the saison, and you're obviously taking Doctor Hopsome, right? After this, both of us need a drink immediately.
