Mukuraf Newly Taps Minoh Beer’s “Blooming IPA”; Sakura Arashi IPA and Nue HOPJUICE on Tap
The beer pub Mukuraf in Morishita, Tokyo announced in an Instagram post on April 1 that it had newly tapped Minoh Beer’s “Blooming IPA.” The taps also feature Sanktgallen, Iwate Kura Beer, Shiga Kogen Beer, and TWO RABBITS, while the refrigerator is well stocked with bottles from WCB and VERTERE.
Hop BroThe spring tap lineup at Mukuraf, a beer pub in Morishita, Tokyo, changed all at once with the April 1 post. The new tap is Minoh Beer’s Blooming IPA, a beer that feels perfect for cherry blossom season.
MugiWhoa! Just the name Blooming IPA already sounds spring-like! And it’s still open even though it’s raining? That makes me want to go even more!
Hop BroExactly. And it’s a Belgian IPA, too. It’s a pretty expressive beer, with the spiciness and elegant aroma from Belgian yeast layered together with citrus and tropical hop notes.
MugiBelgian yeast? Wait, you mean the yeast tastes spicy? Beer turning a little peppery sounds way too strange!
Hop BroPut simply, the yeast brings out its own aromatic character during fermentation. So it’s not just bitterness; it has both brightness and spice, making it the kind of flavor you’d want with spring flower-viewing.
MugiI get it! And they’ve got Sakura Arashi IPA and even Nue HOPJUICE on tap, too? The names alone are exciting!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong, too. Starting with the sweet-and-tart Whey Sour Strawberry, then enjoying hops with SNOW MONKEY IPA and Blooming IPA makes for a really good flow.
MugiAnd the third tap is listed as being prepared, so there’s day-of change too? A place that shows a different face every time you go makes me want to keep coming back.
Hop BroAnd the refrigerator selection is amazing, too, with WCB and VERTERE well represented. New releases on tap, broader choices in bottles, all the fun of a beer pub packed into one place.
MugiEven if it’s raining or the cherry blossoms are blooming, it’s reassuring to know there are plenty of seats available. I’d probably start with Blooming IPA and end up going for bottles, too!
Hop BroIn the end, you just want to toast with a spring beer, right? At Mukuraf, both the taps and the fridge are fun, and this is definitely the kind of place that makes you want to go drink there right now.
