Osaka beer pub umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on Aug. 20 with five drafts
Umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka’s Sonezaki area, says it will open at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20. The day’s five-tap lineup includes Ise Kadoya Beer, Two Rabbits Brewing, Minoh Beer, Draught Guinness, and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroI want to talk about umbrella, the basement beer pub in Sonezaki, Osaka. It opens at 6 p.m. on August 20, and starting with five taps on draft is a pretty tempting move.
MugiWhat! A basement beer pub already sounds like a secret hideout, and that 6 p.m. opening time is basically aimed straight at the after-work crowd!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is solid. You get Isekadoya Beer's Isekado West Coast Pilsner, Two Rabbits Brewing's Saison with Chardonnay Grape, and Minoh Beer's Vitt Natt IPA, so the three domestic craft beers already hit hard.
MugiWhoa, but what exactly is a West Coast Pilsner? Is the pilsner taking a beach vacation or what?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It keeps the easy-drinking pilsner base, then adds the crisp bitterness and aroma of West Coast hops, so it drinks like a hop-forward pilsner.
Hop BroThen the fruit saison from Two Rabbits should layer Chardonnay-like nuance with yeast esters, so I would expect a bright white-grape character.
MugiWait, yeast esters? Why does this suddenly sound like a science quiz? Do I need to submit lab notes before I drink?
Hop BroNo lab notes needed. It just means the fruity aromas yeast creates during fermentation, like banana or pear, basically aroma made by yeast. It sounds technical, but it is really just the tasty part.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! So Minoh's Vitt Natt IPA is the hazy IPA slot, with that soft, fluffy aroma vibe, right?
Hop BroExactly. And with Draught Guinness plus Kirin Lager in the same set, it really balances classics and bold picks depending on your mood.
MugiAnd it is on the basement floor, right? Standing in front of that list, choosing the first pint alone sounds like five full minutes of happy suffering. I want a drink already!
Hop BroThat is very umbrella. Head down into Sonezaki for the night, and suddenly a tasting flight mission sounds like the only correct plan.
