Neko no Shuukaijo in Umegaoka lists six draft beers, including CRAFTROCK's Drink All Day
The Umegaoka beer pub “Craft Beer & Spice Food Neko no Shuukaijo” has posted its latest tap list. The lineup includes six drafts from CRAFTROCK, Nara Brewing, Brasserie Knot, Left Hand, and Tsugaru Brewing.
Hop BroNeko no Shuukaijo in Umegaoka just revealed a six-tap lineup. From CRAFTROCK’s Drink All Day to Left Hand, this is the kind of board that makes daytime plans disappear.
MugiWait, the name is adorable and the taps are serious? Six beers on draft sounds less like a cat meetup and more like a beer fan emergency.
Hop BroThe spread is wide, too. Drink All Day is a Kölsch, Nara Brewing’s TIMMUR is an amber lager with Himalayan sansho, Brasserie Knot brought both BIRD and JIRI, and then you’ve got Left Hand’s Peanut Butter Milk Stout plus Tsugaru Brewing’s Arigato! IPA.
MugiWhat even is that? Kölsch and Hazy sound like trendy cafe drinks. I’m sure they’re good, but what do they actually taste like?
Hop BroVery roughly, Kölsch is light and crisp, while Hazy IPA is a cloudy, juicy IPA with soft texture and big aroma. The nerd version involves fermentation and hop design, but ‘refreshing’ versus ‘juicy’ is enough to start.
MugiOoh, so I start with Drink All Day and move to JIRI later, and suddenly I’ve built a full tasting route like some kind of beer strategist.
Hop BroExactly, and the pub pours draft in three serving sizes with takeaway cups too. That makes it easy to test a little, then commit when one really clicks.
MugiThat is dangerously beginner-friendly. And they also have house-made Hong Kong-style char siu, right? Pair that with the sansho lager and my brain might start applauding.
Hop BroThat’s where this place gets sharp. It’s a spice-food pub, so dishes can catch the aromatic finish of something like TIMMUR or the roasty sweetness of Peanut Butter Milk Stout.
MugiAnd in June there’s a happy hour from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Monday to Friday with 10% off draft? My wallet is the only one in this conversation asking for moderation.
Hop BroThey also stock cans and bottles for drinking in or taking home, so the escape route is gone. I’d open with Drink All Day, detour through BIRD or JIRI, and close with the stout.
MugiI want the char siu with Arigato! IPA, and I still can’t stop thinking about that peanut butter stout. Meeting adjourned, let’s go drink in Umegaoka.
At the Umegaoka branch of Craft Beer & Spice Food Neko no Shuukaijo in Setagaya, Tokyo, the shop has shared a new draft lineup built around six taps. Draft beer is served in three sizes, and cups are available for takeout, so the bar works both for a quick stop and a longer tasting session.
The current tap list is:
- Drink All Day (Kölsch) / CRAFTROCK
- TIMMUR (Amber Lager w/ Himalayan sansho) / Nara Brewing
- BIRD (Pale Ale) / Brasserie Knot
- Peanut Butter Milk Stout (Milk Stout w/ Peanut) / Left Hand
- JIRI (Hazy IPA) / Brasserie Knot
- Arigato! IPA (IPA) / Tsugaru Brewing
The range is broad: a Kölsch, an amber lager with Himalayan sansho, a pale ale, a peanut stout, a hazy IPA, and a classic IPA. That mix makes the bar useful for drinkers who want to compare styles side by side, or simply match a food order with something brighter, maltier, or more hop-forward.
Food is part of the draw as well. The shop highlights its Hong Kong-style homemade char siu, served freshly roasted, and notes that it pairs well with craft beer. Neko no Shuukaijo also runs a June-only happy hour from Monday to Friday, 15:00 to 19:00, with draft beer at 10% off. Beyond draft, the shop also sells cans and bottles for on-site drinking or takeaway, adding another layer of flexibility for beer fans visiting Umegaoka.
