The beer pub Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, has updated its tap list. New on tap are Nomcraft's "7thRevolution SourIPA" and Open Air Brewing's "breakthrough" Hazy IPA. With a lineup centered on IPAs and plenty of seating, it's a place where you can relax and take your time.
Hop BroToday we're talking about Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo. The tap updates are hot right now, with Nomcraft's "7thRevolution SourIPA" and Open Air Brewing's "breakthrough" Hazy IPA newly opened.
MugiWhoa! What kind of thing is a Sour IPA? It's an IPA, but sour too? That's like having a split personality, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroThis style is all about balancing tartness and hop aroma. 7thRevolution SourIPA is a Citrus Sour IPA made with Kiyomi orange and Kawachi bankan from Arita, and its bright citrus notes and crisp acidity are really refreshing.
MugiI see! Loaded with fruit and it sounds super easy to drink! I thought it might taste a bit like orange juice, but it's still definitely beer, right?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Open Air Brewing's "breakthrough" has a classic Hazy IPA feel. Aromas like pineapple, pear, peach, and grapefruit come together, and it leans into that hazy, juicy character.
MugiWait, does hazy mean cloudy? If it looks kind of foggy, it's strange that that's the right answer instead of a mistake!
Hop BroExactly, the haze is part of the character. It brings out the hop-driven aroma strongly while keeping the bitterness from becoming too sharp, so the mouthfeel tends to feel softer.
MugiAnd the taps are amazing! It's like a treasure chest of IPAs, with Uchu Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and Collective Arts all lined up!
Hop BroExactly. Starting with KONBINI IPA, there are plenty of labels from GROUND TAP BREWING and West Coast Brewing, so the IPA-heavy lineup really stands out. And with an Irish Red, a WCIPA, and a Hazy IPA too, it's great that you can choose based on your mood.
MugiIt's nice that there are plenty of seats too! If the place has a relaxed drinking atmosphere, it's probably easy to talk about beer there, and I like that you can also choose bottle beers!
Hop BroOn top of that, they have spaghetti arrabbiata with pork shank and eggplant, carpaccio of sakura masu salmon, and cocktail shrimp, so the food pairings are excellent too. This is the kind of place that makes you want to go beyond just one drink at Mukuraf and reach for a second.
MugiDecided! Tonight's drink candidates are 7thRevolution SourIPA or breakthrough. I'm seriously torn over which one to start with, but even the time spent deciding is part of the fun!
