Marumugi in Shinjuku’s Arakicho posts a five-beer Japanese craft tap list for June 24
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 24 tap list. The lineup features five Japanese craft beers from Y.MARKET Brewing, Shiga Kogen Beer, Mojiko Retro Beer, Baird Brewing, and Shonan Beer, offering a clear range from IPA to weizen, fruit ale, and altbier.
Hop BroToday’s five taps at Marumugi are a great lineup. Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku just posted its June 24 beer menu.
MugiWait, five Japanese craft beers already sounds exciting! From Y.MARKET BREWING to Shonan Beer, can you really compare them all in one visit?
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it, it’s a wide-ranging lineup. You’ve got the light 12 DA CAPO, the 7.5% NO.10 IPA, a Shiranui Weizen, a summer mikan ale, and an Alt from Shonan.
MugiHold on, what is a Weizen? The name alone sounds pale and weirdly powerful!
Hop BroIt’s a soft wheat beer style. Mojiko Retro Beer’s Amakusa Shiranui Weizen adds the aroma of shiranui citrus, so it drinks bright and refreshing.
MugiWhoa, and there’s a summer mikan ale too? Baird Brewing’s Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale sounds like sunshine with a pull tab!
Hop BroRight next to that brightness, Shonan Beer’s Alt brings real malt depth. It has gentle sweetness and elegant richness, so it should pair really well with food.
MugiWhat does that mean, bread-like richness? And how is the IPA strong but still lively? Did Shiga Kogen Beer cast a spell on it?
Hop BroIt’s about hop balance making the finish feel lighter. If you go in small pours, you could start with 12 DA CAPO, move through the citrus beers, hit the Alt, and finish with NO.10 IPA.
MugiI’m finished, I want to conquer the full set in small pours! Add the July 4 original beer preview event, and now I’m planning my next drink too.
Hop BroSame here, tonight is Marumugi. In that small bar that’s been open since 2011, taking time with all five beers sounds exactly right.
Marumugi, a beer pub on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho, Shinjuku, shared its June 24 beer menu. The prices are listed at JPY 1,200+ for a large pour and JPY 900+ for a small pour, with a lineup that makes it easy to compare different Japanese craft styles in one visit.
Today's lineup
- 12 DA CAPO / Y.MARKET BREWING (Aichi)
ABV 4.5%. Presented as a beer that tends to lead naturally into another glass.
- Itsunoju / NO.10 IPA / Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano)
ABV 7.5%. A strong IPA, but still described as brisk and light on its feet.
- Amakusa Shiranui Weizen / Mojiko Retro Beer (Fukuoka)
ABV 5.0%. A refreshing weizen built around the aroma of shiranui citrus.
- Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale / Baird Brewing (Shizuoka)
ABV 5.0%. A bright, citrus-forward ale with a lively summer character.
- Alt / Shonan Beer (Kanagawa)
ABV 5.0%. A polished, malt-driven beer that pairs well with food.
The tap list covers a wide range: hop-forward intensity, citrus freshness, wheat beer softness, and a calmer malt balance. That makes the bar a good stop for drinkers who want to compare flavors side by side rather than commit to a single style.
Marumugi opened in January 2011 and is a compact beer bar within walking distance of Yotsuya-sanchome Station. Its scale and location make it a place for lingering over a glass rather than rushing through a quick stop. The post also notes a special event planned for July 4 featuring an original beer unveiling, which adds another point of interest beyond the daily tap list.
