Mugibal in Kamata announces 14 seats remaining and a 10-beer lineup
Mugibal, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, noted 14 seats remaining and one private-booking slot in its July 26 Instagram post. The update also highlighted a rotating tap list featuring Hokkaido Beer, Ise Kadoya Beer, Sankt Gallen, DD4D, and other Japanese breweries.
Hop BroKamata has a good one today: Mugibaru just posted 14 seats left along with a fresh tap update, and that is very hard to ignore.
MugiWhat! And there’s one private-booking slot too? That escalated from quiet pint to full party mode really fast!
Hop BroThe headliner is Hokkaido Bakushu’s Pear Lager pairing, matched with chopped grilled eel. That’s a pretty smart move.
MugiWait, so it’s a pear-flavored lager? My brain just merged a fruit stand with a beer bar!
Hop BroExactly, think of it as a lager with pear aroma. It stays light and easy to drink, with soft fruit notes that don’t fight the sweet-savory eel glaze.
MugiAnd what was that mysterious bottom fermentation thing? It sounds like the beer trained in a basement dojo!
Hop BroNot a basement dojo, but I respect the image. It means slow fermentation at low temperature, which usually gives you a cleaner, crisper taste.
MugiOhhh, got it! And Isekadoya’s Ohisama Ale and Nekojima already sound like beers I’d order just from the names.
Hop BroThen add Minoh Beer’s W-IPA on deck, plus Sankt Gallen Pineapple Ale and Asahi Jukusen. It leans IPA, but you can still wander into fruit beer or pilsner territory.
MugiHold on, what even is W-IPA? That sounds less like beer and more like a boss battle!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s an extra-hop loaded IPA. And the NEXT list is wild too: COEDO Kyara, DD4D Hazy IPA, Yellow Monkey Brewing Barrel Aged Imperial IPA, and Cho Shonan Gold.
MugiYeah, that is a full-on drinking lineup. Dog-friendly vibes, rotating domestic craft taps, and a cozy Kamata pub? Now I really want a glass.
