Mugibaru in Kamata Shares a Tap List Led by DD4D HAZY IPA
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Nishikamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, shared its tap list in a post that also noted how welcome the first walk-in guests are on a quiet reservation day. The lineup features Japanese craft beers from DD4D, Minoh Beer, Sankt Gallen, COEDO, and Asahi.
Hop BroKamata's Mugibaru tap list is looking strong today. They're even welcoming the first group in on a slow reservation day, and the domestic craft lineup is stacked.
MugiWhat! first group welcome means you walk in and instantly become the main character? Okay, what’s pouring?
Hop BroLeading the board is DD4D HAZY IPA, plus Minoh Beer W-IPA, Sankt Gallen Pineapple Ale, COEDO Kyara, and Asahi Jukusen. That spread is seriously nice.
MugiHold on, HAZY IPA and W-IPA sounds like the beer menu turned into a password screen. Which one makes me look like I know what I’m doing?
Hop BroHAZY IPA is all about that cloudy, juicy vibe with soft texture and big hop aroma. W-IPA means Double IPA, so the bitterness, aroma, and alcohol all hit a level higher.
MugiNo way, a juicy comic-book sound is now an official tasting note? Pineapple Ale sounds way less scary for a beginner like me.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it. It’s an easy mood-based lineup: go IPA if you want hop punch, or go cleaner with pilsner-leaning options like Kyara and Jukusen, especially with Japanese food.
MugiAnd they’ve got salt yakisoba with pork and king oyster mushrooms, right? That dish name alone just ordered me a second beer.
Hop BroExactly, the yakisoba pairing makes sense right away. The oil and salt meet the beer’s bitterness and aroma perfectly. Plus Mugibaru is in the Kamata Station area and allows dogs too.
MugiWait, a dog-friendly taproom with a lineup like this? The owners are living the dream while the dogs just watch in silence. Also, what’s coming on next?
Hop BroNext up is Barrel Aged Imperial IPA from Yellow Monkey Brewing and Sankt Gallen Cho Shonan Gold. Barrel-aged means it picked up wood character and extra depth, so there’s a real reason to come back.
MugiWhoa, Cho Shonan Gold is waiting in the wings too? Then I want to attack the IPAs today and come back for the citrusy round next time. I’m ready to head to Kamata.
Hop BroThat plan checks out. Chasing the first pour privilege and deciding between DD4D’s HAZY IPA or starting lighter with Kyara for the yakisoba is exactly the kind of problem I want.
MugiSettled, I want a pint now. Let’s become Mugibaru’s first guests, I’ll grab the Pineapple Ale, and you can take the HAZY IPA for the toast!
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Nishikamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, shared a tap list alongside a post about how much the shop appreciates its first customers on a low-reservation day. The pub is known for rotating Japanese craft beer taps and pairing them with casual Japanese dishes.
The lineup for the day included DD4D's "HAZY IPA", Minoh Beer's "W-IPA", Sankt Gallen's "Pineapple Ale", COEDO's "Kyara", and Asahi's "Jukusen". The range runs from hop-forward IPA styles to a lighter pilsner, giving guests several different directions to choose from.
The food pairing highlighted in the post was pork and eringi mushroom salt yakisoba, a dish that should sit comfortably alongside the bitterness and aroma of the beers. The next kegs were also announced: Yellow Monkey Brewing's "Barrel Aged Imperial IPA" and Sankt Gallen's "Super Shonan Gold". In Kamata, Mugibaru looks like the kind of place where you check the tap list first and then decide what to eat.
