Hop BroOsaka’s Sonezaki beer pub umbrella’s March 17 tap list has been released, and it opens at 6:00 p.m. with five draft beers!
MugiWait, what! Being able to taste five beers side by side in a basement spot sounds perfect for after work, doesn’t it?
Hop BroThe star is DevilCraft’s West Coast IPA, "Devil's Death Match!" It’s the kind of beer where the hop character really snaps into focus.
MugiWhat?! Does that hop character mean they draw a line on your tongue or something!?
Hop BroNot a literal line, but a crisp boundary between aroma and bitterness. In other words, you get to enjoy that sharp, clean bitterness.
MugiOhhh! Then how is Onidensetsu Beer’s YUYA BOYS IPL different from an IPA? Even the name already feels like a festival!
Hop BroAn IPL is fermented with lager yeast, so it layers lager-like lightness on top of IPA hoppiness. That’s what makes the Jamboree ver. interesting.
MugiAnd they even have Minoh Beer’s Honey Saison, right? Pair that with spring bamboo shoot dishes and it’s basically a win!
Hop BroThe food is Western-style bamboo shoot with kinome, and the butter, soy sauce, and grated Parmesan create a fragrant umami pairing. What’s strong here is that it even lines up Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager.
MugiWith both craft and standard beers covered, plus beer tickets for six servings too, this local spot is amazing... I want to head to Sonezaki and toast right now!
The beer pub umbrella, located underground in Sonezaki, Kita Ward, Osaka City, shared its tap information for Tuesday, March 17, on Instagram. The post clearly states that it will "open at 6:00 p.m." and introduces five draft beers available that day.
The highlight of the day is the well-balanced lineup, ranging from an IPA that lets you fully enjoy the outline of the hops, to a brisk lager style, and even a classic stout. It is a selection built around craft beer, while still leaving room for a familiar go-to pint.
Draft beers for the day
- Devil's Death Match! (DevilCraft / Tokyo) West Coast IPA
- YUYA BOYS IPL Jamboree ver. (Onidensetsu Beer / Hokkaido) IPL
- Honey Saison (Minoh Beer / Osaka) Saison
- Draft Guinness (Guinness / Ireland)
- Kirin Lager (Kirin Beer) Lager
The food menu also includes "Western-style bamboo shoot with kinome," making it a nice chance to pair spring ingredients with beer. The explanation, which describes bamboo shoots sautéed in butter and finished with soy sauce, kinome, and grated Parmesan, also suggests a pairing approach that emphasizes aroma and umami.
The post also mentions sales information for beer tickets that can be used for six of the smallest craft beer sizes, with a Guinness pint also eligible. For regulars who stop by often, announcements like this are one of those pleasant local-pub touches.
In an underground space in Sonezaki, easily accessible from the Umeda area, it is a day where you can compare distinctive beers from domestic breweries and familiar labels all at once. It is the kind of tap list that makes you want to drop in after work and choose your first pint based on your mood.
