Osaka’s umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on June 16 with Ise Kadoya, Two Rabbits, Minoh, Guinness and Kirin on tap
umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki district, opens at 6 p.m. on June 16. Today’s taps include craft pours from Ise Kadoya Beer, Two Rabbits Brewing, and Minoh Beer, alongside Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroMugi, today's topic is umbrella in Osaka's Sonezaki basement, opening at 6 PM on June 16. A spot in Umeda built around craft beer on draft and Guinness is hard to ignore.
MugiWhat! A place like that is hiding underground? That secret basement pub vibe is so strong I'm already excited just imagining the stairs.
Hop BroAnd the tap list is solid. Isekadoya's Mister Dunk, Two Rabbits' Hoppzilla Mega Motueka, Minoh Beer's Grapefruit Sour, plus Guinness and Kirin make for five wildly different taps.
MugiHold on, is DDH West Coast IPA a beer style or a wizard spell? I feel like I might bite my tongue just saying it!
Hop BroThat part matters. DDH means extra hops added later for aroma, and West Coast IPA is all about bitterness and snap, so you're getting super-defined hop character in the glass.
MugiOooh! Then Hoppzilla Mega Motueka isn't actually going to stomp me flat? If it's Godzilla-level bitter, I'm going to start whispering.
Hop BroIt's an Extra Pale Ale, so it should feel lighter and easier than an IPA. Then you slide in Minoh's bright grapefruit sourness and your palate gets a clean reset.
MugiWhat is this, a full tasting strategy now? And if they also have Guinness and Kirin, that's classic comfort on tap right alongside the craft stuff.
Hop BroThey've got a smart deal too. The value beer ticket covers six small craft pours for 5,800 yen, stays valid for six months, and even applies to a Guinness pint.
MugiSix months is such a good move! One visit for experiments, another for favorites, and buying six pours upfront suddenly makes me feel weirdly strategic.
Hop BroThey're closed on June 21 and 28, and July 11 and 12 are set for a 10th anniversary party, so we just need to pick the date carefully. I'm already leaning toward Mister Dunk first.
MugiDone. I want to start with Grapefruit Sour and finish on Guinness. Just reading about umbrella put me in an I need a beer now mood.
