Osaka's umbrella opens at 6 p.m. on Aug. 14 with five beers on tap
Umbrella, a beer pub in Osaka's Umeda area, announced an 6 p.m. opening on Friday, Aug. 14. The tap list includes two Two Rabbits Brewing beers, Minoh Beer's plum gose, Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager.
Hop BroUmeda's underground is buzzing tonight, because umbrella's tap lineup looks strong. Doors open at 6 p.m. on August 14, and the five-keg spread is seriously well built.
MugiWhat?! five beers on tap? If a beer pub gives me that many choices, I'm getting lost before my first sip!
Hop BroThe headliner is Two Rabbits Brewing's Doctor Hopsum. It's a Hazy IPA, so you get that cloudy look and a big juicy hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what's a Hazy IPA? It already sounds like a beer wandering through fog!
Hop BroHazy basically means cloudy, so think cloudy-style IPA. It's usually less sharply bitter, with soft peachy and citrus-like aromas.
MugiOooh! Then how is the other Two Rabbits beer, that fruit saison, different? Hop Bro, your nose sensor is on duty now!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: Saison with Chardonnay Grape gives you contrast in fruit character. Saison is light and spicy, then that grape-like note layers on top.
MugiNo way! If grapes are joining too, this glass is basically a beer flavor carnival!
Hop BroAnd Minoh Beer's Plum Gose adds a sharp sour edge to the whole lineup. Gose has a gentle salinity and acidity, so it snaps your palate back to attention.
MugiWait, gose has salt in the vibe? That makes me even more curious, like the beer just came back from a workout!
Hop BroThen Draft Guinness and Kirin Lager round it out, so you've got from stout to lager depending on your mood. Honestly, I already want a pint just thinking about it.
MugiThat's unfair in the best way! It's basically meet in Umeda at six. I want food, a toast, and a very serious debate over which Two Rabbits pour to order first!
Umbrella, a basement beer pub in Osaka's Umeda area, announced that it will open at 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 14. The room has counter and table seating, and the open kitchen gives the place a casual setup that works well for a drink after work.
The tap list for the day features five beers:
- Doktor Hopsum / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Hazy IPA
- Saison with Chardonnay Grape / Two Rabbits Brewing (Shiga) - Fruit Saison
- Plum Gose / Minoh Beer (Osaka) - Gose
- Draught Guinness / Guinness
- Kirin Lager / Kirin Beer (Japan) - Lager
The two Two Rabbits beers point in different directions, with one leaning into hop aroma and the other adding a fruitier, saison-like profile. Minoh Beer's Plum Gose brings a tart edge, while Draught Guinness and Kirin Lager round out the lineup with familiar, easy-drinking options.
The post also notes that the pub will be open on Sunday, Aug. 16, while Sunday, Aug. 23 and Sunday, Aug. 30 are listed as closed. For drinkers in the Umeda area, this is a useful snapshot of what is pouring that day.
