P-144×Citraba Serves 8 Craft Beers in Step with the Okinawa Event
The beer pub P-144×Citraba in Ikebukuro and Higashi-Ikebukuro revealed eight craft beers for today in a May 28 post. Centered on Okinawa-related labels, the lineup ranges widely from classic lager to IPA, stout, and sour.
Hop BroIkebukuro and Higashi-Ikebukuro's P-144×Citraba posted an eight-tap lineup today, and the Okinawa-event tie-in selection is pretty aggressive.
MugiWhoa, eight kinds!? That's a tasting paradise. That sounds so exciting!
Hop BroAnd it starts with Orion's easy-drinking lager, so the entry point is really gentle. What’s interesting is that it then leaps all the way to IPA, stout, and sour.
MugiI've heard of IPA, but aren't sours and stouts suddenly a bit difficult? My brain is already fizzing!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, IPA puts the hop aroma front and center, stout has a stronger roasted character, and sour finishes with a crisp acidity. P-144×Citraba is good at lining them up so broadly.
MugiI get it! Then that one called Cheat Day is the kind of beer my heart would order on its own!
Hop BroAgarihama Brewery's Cheat Day #It's okay today, right? already sounds like it's waiting for a toast. And there's AGARIHAMA IPA too, so you can enjoy the range within the same brewery.
MugiWait, what is Papapapa Pineapple!? Just the name made a tropical breeze blow through my head!
Hop BroThat one from Fill Brewing Okinawa is going full-on tropical. They also have Firestone Walker's blood-orange beer and Kaigan Brewery's raspberry chocolate stout, so sweetness, acidity, and richness are all covered.
MugiWhoa, having a raspberry stout too is unfair! If I drank that after a meal, it would totally become dessert.
Hop BroExactly, and with Black Tide Brewing's #487 Mystery IPA too, it's nice that you can end by playing the 'what will come next?' game. They also have small-plate Italian dishes, so today isn't just a detour, it's serious drinking.
MugiIf Ikebukuro has this much in one place, tonight's drink is decided here. I'm curious about the snacks too, and now I'm getting thirsty!
Hop BroThen the final unanimous call is to start the tasting flight, right? Start with Orion, move through the Okinawan specialties, and finish with Mystery IPA!
Enjoy a daily eight-tap pour in Ikebukuro
P-144×Citraba, operating in PAPILLON BLDG. at 1-4-4 Higashi-Ikebukuro, is a beer pub in the Ikebukuro Station east exit area. In an Instagram post on May 28, it said the shop opens at 11:30 and stays open until 23:30, and noted that calling ahead is smoother for parties of three or more. The post also mentioned that the Okinawa event will continue through this weekend, making this a good time to enjoy it along with the limited food menu.
The tap list for the day features eight beers in total. From Orion lager to distinctive brews from Okinawa breweries, and even labels from the United States as well as Chiba and Miyagi, the range of styles is clear. Beer fans will likely be drawn to a lineup where familiar names sit alongside beers they are encountering for the first time.

While Okinawa-origin labels line the board, names like Firestone Walker and Black Tide Brewing are also included, balancing a local event feel with wide-ranging beer variety.
