Beer & Music Cafe Raisindou posts July 8 tap list with Baeren, Minoh and more
Beer & Music Cafe Raisindou in Ibaraki, Osaka shared its July 8 tap list, led by Baeren Brewery's Ihatove no Umi and Classic, plus Minoh Beer, Pilsner Urquell, SUNTORY, and more. The pub also pairs the lineup with smoked snacks, pizza, and pasta.
Hop BroToday, the July 8 tap list at BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisindo in Ibaraki looks seriously good. Baeren’s Ihatov no Umi and Classic lead the lineup, and Minoh Beer plus Pilsner Urquell are in there too.
MugiWait, Ihatov no Umi as a beer name? That sounds like literature crashing into sea breeze! Now I have to know what that is!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Baeren’s version is a Salty Lager, a crisp lager with a faint saline note that gives it a really Iwate-like character.
MugiHold on, a salty lager? Is this the kind of beer that makes your face pucker like a pickled plum?
Hop BroNot that extreme. It’s more of a sea-breeze finish, while the beer still drinks clean and easy like a proper lager. The other Baeren beer, Classic, is a Dortmunder with a nice clear malt profile.
MugiThere it is, Dortmunder! That sounds like a spell. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it hits a bitter-malt sweet spot that feels really satisfying. And this list also has Dot Crimson 147 Rice Ale, Minoh’s Hoppy Weizen, draft Pilsner Urquell, and Suntory’s Kaoru Ale, so the range is huge.
MugiWhoa, craft to macro all in one side-by-side? That’s way too fun! And Hoppy Weizen means banana-like wheat beer with hop aroma on top?
Hop BroExactly. Think soft wheat aromatics with a modern hop lift. It sounds great with the house pizza and smoked snacks, and since they open at 5 p.m. with herring marinade, mackerel sandwiches, and smoked fish cake, you could stay all night with the music.
MugiI’m finished, the image of a drink with mackerel sandwich is already stuck in my head! And the coming-soon beers like Kabosu Radler and SORACHI 1984 are making it even worse!
Hop BroI get it. Starting with draft Urquell first and then moving to Ihatov no Umi sounds like the perfect route. And with BLACK TIDE BREWING’s Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.1 waiting next, this place feels dangerously easy to revisit.
MugiThat’s unfair! I can already see a more than one pint future. Now I want smoked snacks and a Baeren side-by-side immediately!
Beer & Music Cafe Raisindou in Ibaraki, Osaka, posted its July 8 draft lineup with a mix of lagers, a rice ale, a wheat beer, and a Czech classic. The bar opens at 5:00 p.m. and stays open late, making it a natural stop for a relaxed beer session after work.
Today's draft
- Baeren Brewery 'Ihatove no Umi' - Salty Lager
- Baeren Brewery 'Classic' - Dortmunder
- Dot Crimson Brewing 'Dot Crimson 147 Rice Ale' - Rice Ale
- Minoh Beer 'Hoppy Weizen' - Weizen
- Pilsner Urquell draft - Pilsner
- SUNTORY 'Kaoru Ale' - Ale
Coming soon
- Baeren Brewery 'Kabosu Radler' - Radler
- SAPPORO BEER 'SORACHI 1984' - Pilsner
- BLACK TIDE BREWING 'Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.1' - IPA
The lineup shows a clear range. Baeren brings both a seasonal, locally rooted release and a standard Dortmunder. Minoh Beer's Hoppy Weizen leans into aroma-forward wheat character, while Pilsner Urquell offers a benchmark draft pilsner. SUNTORY's Kaoru Ale adds a familiar domestic option to the mix.
The upcoming taps are also worth watching: Kabosu Radler from Baeren, SORACHI 1984 from SAPPORO BEER, and BLACK TIDE BREWING's Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.1. That gives the bar a good balance of Japanese craft, a major domestic brand, and a well-known imported lager.
Food is equally beer-friendly. The menu includes Hokkaido herring marinade, a mackerel sandwich, house-made oil sardines, a wide smoked selection, potato salad, sauerkraut-style cabbage, house pickles, zangi, fries, pizzas, and ragout tagliatelle. For beer drinkers, Raisindou is the kind of place where you can move from clean lagers to hop-driven wheat beer and still find a matching plate on the menu.
