Nekonoshuukaijo in Umegaoka runs Saturday guest café service, with a June tap list
At Nekonoshuukaijo, a craft-beer-and-spice-food pub in Umegaoka, @guuucafe.20 runs a Saturday guest café. From 11:00, the space serves rice-flour sweets, coffee, and lunch, and from 15:00 the bar and café overlap in the same room. The June tap list spans lager, sour beer, pilsner, and IPA styles across six pours.
Hop BroUmegaoka’s craft beer and spice food spot Neko no Shukaijo has a great Saturday setup: cafe from 11, beer from 3, which is basically irresistible for anyone who likes a long easy drinking day.
MugiWhat! It’s like two businesses in one? You can start with rice-flour sweets and then roll straight into craft beer? That feels unfairly strong.
Hop BroExactly. @guuucafe.20 runs the pop-up with coffee and lunch, then after 3 p.m. the beer pub overlap kicks in, so the room shifts naturally from cafe mode to pint mode.
MugiNice! And June has six taps lined up, right? Is it actually a full range, or just six versions of intense hop chaos?
Hop BroIt’s a real spread: CRAFTROCK’s RiCE LAGER, BAEREN’s Tsunagu Beer, AJB’s Foeder Sour Vintage 2024, Shiga Kogen’s Italian Style Pils!?, WCB x Oni Densetsu’s HOP LEGENDS, and NOMCRAFT’s Moon Calendar, so it really runs from lager to IPA.
MugiHold on, Hazy DIPA sounds like a spell. And what’s a foeder? This cat hangout suddenly feels like a barrel council meeting.
Hop BroHazy DIPA means a cloudy, extra-aromatic double IPA, and Foeder Sour means beer aged in giant wooden vats that add more depth to the acidity. So basically: one is aroma boss, one is tart-and-fancy.
MugiThat’s amazing, the flavor team balance is too good. Pilsner with spice food, sour after lunch, then a West Coast IPA later... I could accidentally spend the whole day there.
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Monday to Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. there’s happy hour 10% off. They also serve cans and bottles on site and sell them to-go, which makes impulse purchases dangerously easy.
MugiSo it’s basically the cafe-to-beer full course. I’m already picturing a rice-flour snack for takeoff and RiCE LAGER as the first drink at 3.
Hop BroStarting with the cafe and finishing with a HOP LEGENDS toast sounds perfect. At this point both of us clearly want to head to Umegaoka and drink immediately.
Saturday café, then beer service from 3 p.m.
At Nekonoshuukaijo near Umegaoka Station, @guuucafe.20 takes over the space for a Saturday guest café. From 11:00, visitors can order rice-flour sweets, coffee, and lunch. From 15:00 onward, the café and the beer bar run side by side, making it a place where beer and café culture share the same room.
The featured tap list covers a broad range of styles, from crisp lager and session lager to sour beer, Italian pilsner, Hazy DIPA, and West Coast IPA. That kind of lineup works well whether you want a clean pint before a meal or something more aromatic and layered afterward. Canned and bottled beers are also available to drink on site or buy to take home.
