Mukuraf taps Iwate Kura Beer’s Raspberry Pink, with West Coast Brewing and VERTERE on the board
On July 2, Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, announced a new tap: Iwate Kura Beer’s Raspberry Pink, a Raspberry Wheat Ale. The lineup also spans West Coast Brewing collaborations, VERTERE, GOODHOPS, and a regular Asahi draught.
Hop BroMukuraf just dropped a fresh new tap worth talking about. At the beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto City, they tapped Iwate Kura Beer's Raspberry Pink.
MugiWait, Raspberry Pink already sounds adorable! Is it actually super berry-forward for a beer?
Hop BroYep, it's a Raspberry Wheat Ale. You get raspberry aroma and tartness, then soft sweetness from the wheat, so it lands as a really fruity pint.
MugiHold on, wheat sweetness sounds like you just opened a chemistry class! So basically it means a softer, gentler feel?
Hop BroExactly, that rounded wheat body smooths out the raspberry tang. And on top of that, Mukuraf's draft list was packed with West Coast leaning beers that day.
MugiWhoa, so West Coast style doesn't mean you have to drink it while staring at the ocean?
Hop BroThe name sounds beachy, but it's really about crisp hop punch. They had Riverphilia, Hop Legends, and even Full Hop Alchemist r1-2026 lined up.
MugiWhat is that, Full Hop Alchemist? That sounds less like a beer and more like a final boss with a PhD!
Hop BroCareful, once I start the lupulin lecture I don't stop. In plain terms, those yellow bits in hops carry the aroma and bitterness, and West Coast IPA is all about enjoying that cleanly.
MugiOkay, yellow aroma bits somehow makes it sound cute now! And VERTERE goes from Hazy IPA to Mango Sour, while GOODHOPS brings Saison and Belgian IPA too?
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it, the style variety is seriously strong. They even have Asahi Maru-F plus bottle sales for takeout only visits, which makes me want to swing by immediately.
MugiDecision made, pink for round one and a West Coast hop bomb for round two! If there's house-made food too, I'm absolutely getting pulled into Mukuraf tonight.
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, updated its tap list in a July 2 post that leaned into rainy-season drinking. The new pour is Iwate Kura Beer’s Raspberry Pink, a Raspberry Wheat Ale described as offering raspberry aroma and acidity with the soft sweetness of wheat.
The key draft
Alongside the regular Asahi Maruefu draught, the list is heavy on hop-forward beers. The post highlights WestCoast×Totopia Riverphilia, WestCoast×Oni Densetsu Hop Legends, WestCoastBrewing FullHopAlchemist r1-2026, Wandering Boi, The Lupulin Tree, PassionWizard, and Dr.Dankness. It is a clear West Coast-leaning lineup, but not a one-note one.
Style range
From VERTERE, the board includes Passiflora48, Achillea1, Galanthus3, Benitoa8, and Vespa, covering Hazy IPA, West Coast IPA, Dark Ale, Belgian Blonde Ale, and Mango Sour. GOODHOPS adds Do Good, Gin no Hopbatake, Tono Belgian IPA, Tasogare no Cascade, and Tono no Kaze, so the tap list also reaches Saison and Belgian IPA territory.
How it drinks as a venue
The post notes that seats are plentiful, which fits Mukuraf’s easygoing beer-pub feel. Bottles are also sold, and bottle-only visits are welcome, making the place practical for quick stops as well as longer tasting sessions. With house-made dishes on the menu, it reads as a spot where you can work through a few different beers without needing to rush.
