Osaka beer pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on June 15 with five taps
The Osaka beer pub umbrella opened at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 15, with taps featuring Ise Kadoya Brewing, Two Rabbits Brewing, Minoh Beer, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroSonezaki is the place to watch today: umbrella’s grand opening kicks off at 6:00 PM on June 15 with five taps pouring right away.
MugiWhat! A basement beer pub opening with five taps at launch? That is way too serious in the best way!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong too. Isekadoya Beer’s Mister Dank is a DDH West Coast IPA, built to push hop aroma right to the front.
MugiHold on, what does DDH mean? That abbreviation already sounds like it could bench-press me.
Hop BroDDH means extra dry hopping, so think of it as a turbo aroma method. Not just bitter, but packed with bright citrusy hop character.
MugiOooh! Then Two Rabbits Brewing’s Hopzilla Mega Motueka sounds like it barges in with a giant hop kick too?
Hop BroMore like a clean rush than a punch. It’s an Extra Pale Ale, so it stays light, and Minoh Beer’s grapefruit sour brings a fruit-forward sour note that widens the whole range.
MugiAnd they’ve got Kirin Lager and Draught Guinness too? That lineup really covers both craft-beer mode and classic-beer mode!
Hop BroThe food is dialed in as well. They’re serving seasonal hamo eel, seared or blanched, with the bones cut only after ordering, which is meticulous work.
MugiNo way! A six-beer ticket for 5,800 yen, valid for six months, and even Guinness pints count? My future self is yelling at me to buy it now.
Hop BroIf you’re planning a visit, they’re closed on June 21 and June 28, and the 10th anniversary party is July 11 and 12, so planning a beer run this week actually makes a lot of sense.
MugiThat settles it. I’m starting with the grapefruit sour and finishing with Guinness. I want to go tonight!
Osaka's Sonezaki-area beer pub `umbrella` opened at 6 p.m. on Monday, June 15. The tap list spans a hop-forward IPA, a bright extra pale ale, a fruit sour, and classic pub staples such as Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager.
On tap today
- `Mister Dunk / Ise Kadoya Brewing (Mie) - DDH West Coast IPA`

- `Gurefuru Sour / Minoh Beer (Osaka) - Fruit Sour Ale`
- `Draught Guinness / Guinness (Ireland)`
- `Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (JP) - Lager`
The kitchen is also highlighting hamo, or pike conger, in season, served either aburi-style or lightly blanched. According to the post, the fish is filleted after the order comes in, which makes it an appealing match for a beer-focused stop.
The bar is also selling beer vouchers valid for six small pours across the craft lineup. Guinness pints are included at `umbrella`, and the set costs 5,800 yen. The vouchers are valid for six months from purchase and available while supplies last.
Upcoming dates include closures on June 21 and June 28, followed by `umbrella RiB`'s 10th anniversary party on July 11-12. For regulars and first-time visitors alike, the tap list and schedule make this a useful date to keep in mind.
