Mitaka's Craft beer TOCA updates taps on March 4 with 13 beers from IPA to Pilsner
The beer pub Craft beer TOCA in Inokashira, Mitaka City, Tokyo, has published its Tap List for March 4. In addition to a bottle-only Cold IPA, the lineup spans Pilsner, Kölsch, ESB, Sour IPA, West Coast IPA, Hazy IPA, and Session IPA, making it a lineup worth tasting side by side.
Hop BroMitaka's Inokashira-area Craft beer TOCA came in with a March 4 tap update and dropped 13 beers all at once. This feels like a tasting festival is coming!
MugiWait, 13 beers? Isn't that too many!? And from IPA to Pilsner? That's an insane range!
Hop BroExactly. They put CANKI's Cold IPA up as a bottle-only special, while the draft list also has clean styles like Pilsner Urquell and LaLa Köosch.
MugiWhat? What does clean style taste like? Does it mean crisp like it just came out of the laundry!?
Hop BroGood question. Clean styles have less off-flavor and a sharper outline; in short, they're clear and easy to drink. Zero detergent vibes!
MugiOhh! Then starting with that and moving on to a DH Sour IPA sounds like the right order!
Hop BroThat's the best flow. And by the way, DH means dry-hopped for more aroma, so Unionphilia's tart-and-hop two-way attack pairs well with spring food.
MugiPairing it with butterbur sprout bruschetta is so grown-up! But are Hazy IPAs the ones that turn juice-like with the magic of haze?
Hop BroExactly. The Hazy from ama no iwato and Night Mare is fluffy on aroma, while Old Tricks' West Coast IPA is crisp and bitter, so the fun of choosing is in full swing.
MugiI've decided! Let's do a 13-beer tasting plan at TOCA near the station. I'll start with the Pilsners, and Hop-senpai, guide me through the nerd route!
Craft beer TOCA, in the Inokashira Park area, announced its latest taps in a March 4, 2026 post. The post touches on the bar's business status after the rain and gives a concrete rundown of what was being served that day.
The highlight this time is the wide range of styles. The bottle-only beer is CANKI（gangibrewing） Cold IPA, while the draft list ranges from clean styles such as Pilsner Urquell, VITA AMARA（birrificiowar）, and LaLa Köosch（u.b.p_brewery） to Unionphilia（totopiabrewery） DH Sour IPA, Old Tricks（humanpeoplebeer） West Coast IPA, and Hazy IPAs from ama no iwato（nomodachi） and Night Mare（varietalbeerco）.
Also on the list are Extra Special Bitter（fermentry）, sinne（pironobeer）, Soleadon（ohloybrewing）, and Gakugeidaimae（kunitachi_brewery）, making it an easy pick for both those who want something light and drinkable and those chasing hop intensity. The post also introduced spring-friendly food, including pumpkin and fennel hummus, butterbur sprout and anchovy bruschetta, and chicken, kumquat, and mizuna salad, offering pairings that work well with beers featuring bitterness, acidity, and aroma.
For anyone who wants to enjoy frequent tap updates and seasonal food together at a station-close beer pub, this is one to check out.
