Marumugi posts a five-beer tap lineup for June 26
Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 26 draft lineup. The list brings together five beers from Y.MARKET BREWING, TWO RABBITS BREWING, Mojiko Retro Beer, Repubrew x open air brewing, and Shonan Beer, spanning IPA, weizen, and altbier styles.
Hop BroShinjuku has a good one today: Marumugi's tap list for June 26. It is five beers total, and the range from Y.MARKET to Shonan Beer is nicely balanced.
MugiWait, five beers, five moods? Aichi, Shiga, Fukuoka, Shizuoka, Kanagawa... that is basically a road trip inside a glass!
Hop BroFirst up is Y.MARKET BREWING's 12 DA CAPO. At 4.5% ABV, it is built to go down easy, the kind that quietly makes you want another.
MugiThat sounds dangerous! The sneaky second pint strikes again! Light on paper, suspiciously powerful in real life!
Hop BroThen we have TWO RABBITS BREWING's KIWI IPA. It uses NZ hops, so the tropical aroma jumps forward like a properly flashy IPA.
MugiHold on, what are NZ hops? Are the hops flying in from New Zealand with tiny passports?
Hop BroThat just means hops grown in New Zealand. Tropical hop aroma usually gives notes like passion fruit or white grape, so it feels bright and expressive.
MugiOoh! Then what about Mojiko Retro Beer's Shiranui Weizen? That name already sounds like citrus bursting through the door!
Hop BroExactly, and a weizen also brings soft wheat character underneath. Then THUNDERSTRUCK IPA goes rogue by combining hops with Japanese sansho pepper.
MugiSansho?! Pepper in beer sounds like the tap list decided to start a rock band with dinner!
Hop BroThat is why the finish matters: Shonan Beer's elegant Alt richness pulls everything together. After all that aroma, it makes me want food and a full pour immediately.
MugiThis is perfect. I want the tasting run where we sample all five and argue over our favorite until last call. Tonight at Marumugi, right?

About the bar
Marumugi is closed on Tuesdays and public holidays. In a quiet corner of Arakicho, the pub keeps the focus on straightforward draft beer drinking rather than flash, and this lineup reflects that approach: hop-forward IPA, citrusy weizen, and a food-friendly altbier all appear on the same board.
For drinkers who like to compare styles glass by glass, the June 26 selection offers a clear snapshot of the bar's range.
