Beer Belly’s fish was crispy and fresh, and the potato wedges served were crunchy and paired well with the provided tartar sauce. The fish and chips were a delightful treat for me, as having lived in Tokyo for more than two years it had been a long time since having it. Minoh Beer being famous for their IPA, I know I could not leave without trying it. In true pub-style, soon after, I ordered myself a plate of fish and chips along with another beer. The pale ale they had on tap was a sweet, full-flavoured beer that was easy to drink and quite delicious. My first order was a pale ale as it is usually the style of beer I prefer. Beer Belly is a perfect opportunity for the international beer connoisseur to sample a great selection of top-quality Japanese craft beers.Īs a budding beer enthusiast myself, I was excited to try what Beer Belly had to offer.
In recent years, Japan’s craft beer culture has exploded, with many local brewers including Minoh Beer winning international awards for the quality of its IPA’s and other beers. On tap in this pub are a number of beers from the world-famous Minoh Beer brewery, a family-owned Osaka-based brewery founded in 1997 (fun fact - the brewery company is run by three sisters!). Just a short walk from Tenma Station on the North side of Osaka in the Tenjinbashi district is Beer Belly, a Western-style pub offering a huge variety of locally brewed craft beers.

Upon my visit the rain was coming down quite heavily, which led to most of the establishments covering the outside tables, but nonetheless it is quite a picturesque little alley. For those looking for a more local experience, check out Ohatsu Tenjin Urasando – a tiny street, no more than sixty metres in length and home to a small number of different bars, restaurants and izakaya. The north side of Osaka, also known as the Kita area, is a little less crowded with tourists as this side of town is not as well known to travellers.
