Mugibal in Kamata posts takeaway note and current tap list
Mugibal, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, said in a July 13 Instagram post that some menu items can be taken out and that unfinished food can also be brought home. The current taps include beers from Ise Kadoya Beer, Yokohama Beer, and other Japanese breweries.
Hop BroThat Mugibaru post from Kamata really stood out to me. Today’s taps include Isekadoya Beer and Yokohama Beer, and some menu items can even be taken to go.
MugiWait, takeout from a beer pub? That’s seriously useful! And they’ll even talk with you about taking home unfinished food too?
Hop BroThat’s the smart part. Since they do things in small batches, takeout can sell out before dine-in service is covered, so that flexible house policy feels very real-world and thoughtful.
MugiAnd that shibazuke tartar chicken nanban in the photo already sounds like a winner! Pairing it with Uchu Brewing’s Summoning the Void is just outrageously good.
Hop BroThey’re clearly good at matching Japanese-style snacks with craft beer. For example, Isekadoya’s Ohisama Ale is an XPA at 5.5%: light on its feet, but still nicely expressive with hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what is XPA? The moment you add another letter, it starts sounding like a special attack name!
Hop BroIt means Extra Pale Ale, basically an aromatic easy-drinker. You get bright hop character without too much bitterness, so it works great as a first pint.
MugiOhhh! Then Yokohama Beer’s Odawara Orange Pale Ale sounds super tempting too. If it’s a fruit ale, I could absolutely crush that on a hot day.
Hop BroAnd the range keeps going. Hansharo Beer’s Kyo mo Manten is a hazy IPA, and the NEXT list includes Minoh’s W-IPA, Isekadoya’s Nekojima, COEDO’s Kyara IPL, and Yellow Monkey Brewing’s Barrel Aged Imperial IPA.
MugiThat is way too many next pint options for one stomach and one schedule! I’d totally split it into one visit for drinking in and another for takeout snacks.
Hop BroExactly, and that’s the appeal here: drink-in or take-home both work. If I’m heading to Kamata, I already want to build the night around a pint and that chicken nanban.
MugiI’m fully in Kamata right now mode. Starting with Ohisama Ale or going straight for Nekojima... either way, I’m thirsty already!
Mugibal in Kamata, Tokyo, posted on July 13 that some menu items can be taken out and that unfinished food can also be taken home. The shop said it does not aggressively promote takeaway because it prepares food in small batches and does not want to run out of items for dine-in guests, but it invites customers to ask.
The post also paired Uchu Brewing Summoning the Void with shibazuke tartar chicken nanban, which highlights the kitchen's beer-friendly, Japanese-leaning approach.
The current taps listed in the post were:
- Ohisama Ale / 伊勢角屋麦酒: XPA, 5.5%
- Odawara Orange Pale Ale / 横浜ビール: fruit ale, 5.5%
- SUN SUN SUN - PINK CLIMBER / GRANDLINE BREWING: special lager, 5.5%
- Kyoumo Manten / 反射炉ビヤ: hazy IPA, 5.5%
- Jukusen / アサヒ: pilsner, 5.5%
The "NEXT" lineup included:
- W-IPA / 箕面ビール: w-IPA, 9%
- Nekojima / 伊勢角屋麦酒: hazy double IPA, 8%
- Kyara / COEDO: IPL, 5.5%
- Barrel Aged Imperial IPA / Yellow Monkey Brewing: barrel-aged IPA, 9.5%
