Marumugi in Shinjuku lists five craft beers for July 18
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, has posted its craft beer lineup for July 18. The list features five beers from Shiga Kogen, Ise Kadoya, Romantchic Mura, and OGA Brewing, ranging from hop-forward IPA to malt-driven lager and brown ale.
Hop BroToday’s Marumugi tap list for July 18 in Arakicho, Shinjuku is so well balanced that it really deserves attention.
MugiWait, a tap list is basically the day’s draft menu, right? And just five beers on tap can get you this hyped!?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Shiga Kogen Beer’s Africa Pale Ale is 5.0%, light on its feet, but the hop character still stands out clearly.
Mugi“Hop character stands out” suddenly sounds super expert-level! What does stands out clearly actually mean?
Hop BroIt means the aroma floats up first, then the bitterness draws a clean outline when you sip. In plain terms, it has a clear aroma-bitter balance that you can really feel.
MugiOhhh! Then Ise Kadoya Brewery’s Lush Hop IPA must hit even harder with the hops, right?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a 6.0% classic American IPA with bursting citrus aroma. But it’s not just loud, the bitterness is polished really neatly.
MugiWow, hop fans must be cheering already! But for me, Ritsunosuke Monogatari Bakushu already sounds delicious just from the name.
Hop BroGood instinct. It’s a German lager from Romantic Village Craft Brewery, and the star is the barley from Tochigi. Then the Ise Kadoya Brown Ale adds that toasty malt lane too.
MugiHold on, there’s also OGA BREWING’s Akapost IPA!? An IPA like sunset glow is just unfairly appealing!
Hop BroIt’s a gentle, nuanced IPA, so the whole lineup really works for both hop lovers and malt lovers. And large 1200 yen plus or small 900 yen plus makes it easy to explore.
MugiThree minutes from Yotsuya-sanchome and you can pick by mood? That’s perfect. I just need to remember the closed Tuesdays and holidays part, and I want a small pour flight today!
Hop BroThat’s the move. They’ve been carefully sharing daily taps since 2011, and this set of five is strong. First, a pint at Marumugi and then we decide the winner of the day.

The shop also notes that Tuesdays and public holidays have been regular closing days since December 5, 2024. For beer drinkers in Tokyo looking for a reliable stop in the evening, this is the kind of daily tap list worth checking first.
