Mihama Base in Makuhari Opens Isekadoya Beer Nekojima and Alpine Duet
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE in Makuhari has added two new taps: Isekadoya Beer Nekojima and Alpine Duet. The lineup pairs a yuzu-scented Hazy Double IPA with a West Coast IPA built around crisp bitterness.
Hop BroAt Makuhari's WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE, two fresh taps just landed: Isekadoya Brewery's 'Nekojima' and Alpine's 'Duet'. IPA fans are not staying calm today.
MugiWait, the name contrast is wild. 'Nekojima' is adorable, then 'Duet' strolls in looking cool, and now I can't choose!
Hop BroFirst up, Nekojima is a Pomona Island collab hazy double IPA. You get yuzu on the nose, hop-driven citrus, and even a mango-like layer on top.
MugiWhat is hazy anyway? It sounds like beer brewed inside a cloud, and now my brain is foggy too!
Hop BroFair question. Think cloudy juicy IPA. It looks a little opaque and drinks softer, and Nekojima stays rounded with 8.0% ABV and 35 IBU.
MugiWhoa, yuzu and mango together? That sounds like summer vacation in a glass. Soft at 8% is dangerously drinkable!
Hop BroThen Duet shows up as a classic West Coast IPA. Simcoe and Amarillo bring grapefruit and orange peel, with 7.0% ABV and 41 IBU backing up the bitterness.
MugiNo way, dry finish makes it sound so sharp and competent! So it means the taste snaps clean at the end instead of lingering sweet?
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness stays defined, then cuts off neatly. On a sticky day, I already want to sit at MIHAMA BASE and compare Nekojima's aroma with Duet's crisp bite.
MugiAnd they do takeout, plus the July 25 'Shimai Eigyo no Hi: Cafe Edition,' so Makuhari is busy. I want Nekojima for the dreamy part and Duet to wake me back up. Let's go drink.
WORLD BEER&DINING MIHAMA BASE, a craft beer specialist in Makuhari, added two new keg pours on the Wednesday after its regular day off. The new lineup is tuned for a hot, humid day: one beer leans into bright fruit and yuzu, while the other brings a clean West Coast bitterness.
Newly opened taps
- Isekadoya Beer "Nekojima"
A collaboration with Pomona Island from Manchester, UK. This Hazy Double IPA layers fresh yuzu aroma with hop-driven citrus and mango notes. At 8.0% ABV and 35 IBU, it is described as soft, complex, and slightly lighter in drinkability than a typical Hazy Double IPA.
- Alpine "Duet"
A signature West Coast IPA built on Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Expect grapefruit and orange peel on the nose, with a firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish. It comes in at 7.0% ABV and 41 IBU.
The day’s tap list also includes HEARTLAND, London Pride, No.06 MINAZUKI IPA, Analog Glow, Mosh Pit Hazy IPA, and pFreal West Coast IPA, giving the bar a mix of familiar names and hop-forward styles. Takeout is available as well, so the beers can be enjoyed on the spot or carried out.
The post also notes an upcoming "Shimai Eigyo no Hi, Cafe Edition" event on July 25, along with 4th-anniversary T-shirt preorders running through July 24. For beer drinkers in Makuhari, it is a useful update: fresh taps, a broad draft selection, and a venue that keeps its beer program active beyond the glass.
