Mugibal in Kamata publishes tap list featuring Ise Kadoya Beer's Ohisama Ale and nine pours
Mugibal, a beer pub in Nishikamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, shared its tap list in an Instagram post on July 24. The lineup includes beers from Ise Kadoya Beer, Minoh Beer, Sanktgallen, COEDO, Yellow Monkey Brewing, and DD4D, with IPA-driven options across the board.
Hop BroToday’s story is about Muginbal in Kamata dropping a nine-tap lineup so strong it could start a full beer debate all by itself.
MugiWhat! Muginbal in Nishi-Kamata is that serious? And they posted the whole same-day tap list on July 24? That’s dangerously convenient.
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Isekadoya Beer’s Ohisama Ale. It’s an XPA at 5.5%, a bright, easy way into a hop-forward lineup.
MugiHold on, what is XPA? It sounds like IPA’s cousin who only speaks in abbreviations.
Hop BroXPA means Extra Pale Ale, basically lighter hop character with good aroma and a more relaxed body than a typical IPA.
MugiOhh, that sounds beginner-friendly! But then Minoh Beer shows up with W-IPA at 9% like the final boss has entered the tavern.
Hop BroThat range is exactly the point. Muginbal goes from gentle to intense. Saint Gallen’s Pineapple Ale is a Brut IPA, so it drinks dry and feels bright and fruity.
MugiA Brut IPA? That sounds like a beer wearing a tuxedo. Am I supposed to raise my pinky before the first sip?
Hop BroNo tuxedo required. Think of it as an IPA with a crisp dry finish instead of lingering sweetness. Then you’ve also got Nekojima, COEDO’s Kyara, and DD4D’s Hazy IPA for comparison.
MugiAnd they even have Yellow Monkey Brewing’s barrel-aged IPA? At 9.5%, my self-control just quietly left the building.
Hop BroAfter that barrel depth, you can swing back to Saint Gallen’s Chou Shonan Gold or Asahi Jukusen. Plus there’s char siu rice balls and even dog-friendly vibes, which is absurdly good pub energy.
MugiThat settles it. Start with Ohisama Ale, move to Pineapple Ale, then finish with Nekojima or the barrel-aged one. I want Muginbal now and I want the full tasting run.
