Mugishima-omotecho- introduces wagyu roast beef, a beer pub with more than 10 draft beers on tap
The beer pub Mugishima-omotecho- in Omotecho, Okayama City, announced on Instagram that it has wagyu roast beef available. At the shop, where more than 10 kinds of craft beer are always on tap and rotate weekly, you can enjoy food and beer together.
Hop BroThe beer pub Mugishima-omotecho- in Omotecho, Okayama City, is interesting. They're announcing wagyu roast beef, and the way they go all in on pairing food with draft beer is excellent.
MugiWait, wagyu roast beef with beer!? It looks like a side dish, but suddenly it's too much of the main character, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the best part. They always have more than 10 draft beers on a weekly rotation, and the owner has a beer sommelier qualification, so the drinking lineup is well thought out.
MugiA beer sommelier? What's that, someone who picks beer like a teacher?
Hop BroBasically, yes. For example, the menu has distinctive choices like Neko ni Hiki and BIG BANG IPA, and they match food by looking at aroma and bitterness.
MugiI see! But just from the names, IPA, weizen, and all that, what's the difference?
Hop BroGood question. The sharpness of an IPA means the bitterness and hop aroma stand out, the softness of a weizen is the mellow character from wheat, and porter has the richness of roasted malt.
MugiI get it! So a porter with roast character seems like it would get along well with roast beef!
Hop BroExactly. They also have fried chicken marinated in craft beer and beef tendon baked curry doria, so it's not just about drinking, but also about the food.
MugiWhoa, a tasting set too? That's almost unfair! It makes you want to try a bunch and find your favorite of the day.
Hop BroWhat’s nice is that in the shopping arcade in Omotecho, you can create a time for eating and drinking while music and conversation flow. Mugi-chan, this is definitely the kind of place where we’d go together and debate the first drink.
MugiI want to go! Let's start with wagyu roast beef and then spend the night comparing IPA and porter!
An evening pairing wagyu roast beef with draft beer
“Mugishima-omotecho-,” located on the first floor of Hibari Terasu inside the shopping arcade in Omotecho, Kita Ward, Okayama City, is a beer pub serving craft beer on draft selected by the owner, who holds a beer sommelier qualification. In the latest Instagram post, the shop announced, “We have wagyu roast beef available,” signaling that another centerpiece dish has been added to the menu.
The shop's strength is its draft lineup, which always features more than 10 beers and changes weekly. The menu includes:
- Neko ni Hiki / Isekadoya Beer (Mie)
- BIG BANG IPA / Uchu Brewing (Yamanashi)
- Momo Weizen / Minoh Beer (Osaka)
- PORTER / Voyager Brewing (Wakayama)
- Indian Blue Demon / Yo-Ho Brewing (Nagano)
There is a wide range, from the sharp bitterness of an IPA to the gentle smoothness of a weizen and the roasted character of a porter, making it fun to think about how each one pairs with the flavor of roast beef.
The food menu is also built with beer pairings in mind, with items such as fried chicken marinated in craft beer, an exquisite baked curry doria with beef tendon and raw egg, and a craft beer tasting set featuring four varieties. Combined with the atmosphere of a street-facing first-floor shop where music and conversation mingle, it is the kind of place that makes you want to eat well and then choose your next drink.
Starting with wagyu roast beef and combining it with everything from standard IPAs to a tasting set makes it easy to build the kind of “eat and drink” time that defines Mugishima. If you're looking for craft beer in Omotecho, this is one place to check first.
