Raisendo in Ibaraki Announces Six Taps Including Baeren's Chocolate Stout
BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo in Ibaraki City, Osaka, announced six taps on March 28, including Baeren Brewery's Chocolate Stout. Ise Kadoya Beer, Iwate Kura Beer, Pilsner Urquell, and SORACHI 1984 are also on the lineup.
Hop BroToday, the six taps at Raisendo in Osaka's Ibaraki are hot. Baeren's Chocolate Stout, plus Ise Kadoya Beer's West Coast Pilsner, are on the board - impossible to resist.
MugiWait, a traffic jam of six taps!? And Chocolate Stout sounds like candy, but it's beer!
Hop BroExactly. Baeren Brewery's Chocolate Stout has the roasty character you'd expect from a dark beer. It's not sweet like chocolate itself; it's the kind that feels dessert-like because of its aroma and richness.
MugiI see... But what is West Coast-style? Is it beer aged on the western coast of the ocean?
Hop BroHaha, close! West Coast-style means the hop aroma is front and center, with citrusy and piney notes coming through. Ise Kadoya Beer's Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific should have that crisp, lively feel.
MugiWow, so with Dot Crimson 103 Pale Ale, Iwate Kura Beer's English IPA, Pilsner Urquell, and SORACHI 1984, it's like a free-for-all flavor tour!
Hop BroExactly. With pale ale, English IPA, classic pilsner, and dark beer, the flavor range is wide, so it's easy to put together a tasting flight at one place.
MugiAnd Raisendo is sneaky because the food is strong too. They've got ragout spaghetti, smoked dishes, zangi, and even meat-loaded pizza?
Hop BroThat's right. Smoked dishes and meat go well with dark beer, while fried foods and pizza pair with pilsners, so today's lineup is arranged so you can think through the pairings too.
MugiWhoa, Chocolate Stout with smoked kamaboko? That sounds like a win before you even drink! And the hours are 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Hop BroThey've also got Onmenbroi's Rauch Bock and Mikkeller x Baeren's Coolship Vienna Lager coming up, so I'm looking forward to the next update. Tonight feels like the kind of place where you'd want to take your time with a drink while listening to music.
MugiYeah, this has to go on the list of tonight's drink candidates! At Raisendo, I want to spend the best possible time eating and drinking my way through everything!
Drafts for the Day
At BEER & MUSIC Cafe Raisendo, the lineup of drafts was announced for March 28, 2026. Business hours are 17:00-22:00, food last order is 21:00, and pizza and pasta last order is 20:30.
There is one new tap opening today. Ise Kadoya Beer’s `Fresh-Pressed Beyond the Pacific : West Coast Pilsner` is opening today, and Baeren Brewery’s `Chocolate Stout : Chocolate Stout` is being served as a partial opening from the previous day. Also on tap are Dot Crimson Brewing’s `Dot Crimson 103 Pale Ale`, Iwate Kura Beer’s `English IPA`, Pilsner Urquell’s `Draft Pilsner Urquell : Pilsner Urquell`, and SAPPORO BEER’s `SORACHI 1984 : Pilsner`.
The Range of Beers You Can Drink
Looking at the lineup, the range of flavors is quite broad, from a West Coast-style pilsner that puts hop aroma front and center to pale ale, English IPA, classic pilsner, and chocolate stout. One venue makes it easy to put together a tasting flight, which is part of the appeal today.
Pairing with Food
Another feature of Raisendo is its strong selection of dishes that pair well with beer. In addition to ragout-sauce spaghetti, there are Ibaraki-raised venison, smoked spicy cod roe, kamaboko, smoked tofu and chicken tenderloin, zangi, potato fries, and meat-loaded pizza. Pairings like smoked dishes and meat with dark beer, or fried foods and pizza with pilsner, are easy to set up.
Labels Coming Soon
In today's announcement, `Onmenbroi : Rauch Bock`, `Mikkeller x Baeren Coolship Vienna Lager : Vienna Lager`, and `Rye Beer : Roggen` are also on deck. Black beer, lager, and barley-forward labels from Baeren Brewery are expected to continue, and the next update looks worth watching. As a beer pub where you can relax with music, this is the kind of place where you want to keep an eye on the tap changes and food pairings.
