Marumugi lists five craft beers on tap for June 14
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 14 tap list. The lineup includes Mojiko Retro Beer’s pilsner, Shiga Kogen’s No. 10 IPA, and three more beers spanning wheat, pale ale, and porter styles.
Hop BroMarumugi in Arakicho has a June 14 tap list that looks seriously good. It lines up five distinct beers, from Mojiko Retro Beer to Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhat! Five different pours already sounds exciting! If it goes from bitter stuff to dark beer, that feels perfect for a tasting run!
Hop BroFirst up is Mojiko Retro Beer’s crisp bitter pilsner, the kind of refreshing pour you want when you need to wake up your palate.
MugiOoh, a palate wake-up is such a good phrase. It’s beer, but it sounds like an alarm clock with foam!
Hop BroThen there’s Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Sono Ju / NO.10 IPA," a 7.5% imperial IPA with bright hop aroma and a real punch of bitterness.
MugiWait, imperial IPA sounds like the final boss of the beer menu. So what does that actually mean?
Hop BroBasically, it means higher alcohol, bigger hops. But this one also gets some lightness from sake rice, so it hits hard without feeling too heavy.
MugiSo it’s strong but easygoing? That is dangerous behavior. Sneaky final boss energy, and now I want it.
Hop BroThe rest are strong too. Minoh Beer’s Hoppy Weizen brings fruity aroma, Ushitora Brewery’s "Mayoutara Kono Pale!" is an easy-pick pale ale, and VECTOR BEER’s "Third Wave Porter" lands as a refreshing dark beer.
MugiA refreshing porter feels unfair, honestly. I can already imagine those coffee-like notes, and even the name sounds stylish.
Hop BroIt’s also easy to drop by, on the second floor in Arakicho near Yotsuya-Sanchome, and the sizes are large 1200 yen, small 900 yen plus tax. It’s built for either one quick pint or a full comparison flight, and now I want to go.
MugiI’m starting with the pilsner, grabbing the Hoppy Weizen in the middle, and finishing with the porter. Tonight means Marumugi for me, because now I absolutely need a drink!
On June 14, Marumugi offered five draft beers, ranging from a crisp pilsner to hop-forward and dark styles. Sizes were listed as large 1,200 yen plus tax/extra and small 900 yen plus tax/extra, making it a practical list for both a quick stop and a more deliberate tasting session.

Also on tap were "Hoppy Weizen" from Minoh Beer, presented as a fragrant, fruit-forward wheat beer; "Mayo ttaracono Pale!" from Ushitora Brewery, an easy pick when you want a pale ale; and "Third Wave Porter" from VECTOR BEER, a porter that is dark yet described as surprisingly fresh.
