A new beer tap announcement has arrived from the beer pub "Neko no Shukaijo" in Umegaoka.

Both draft and canned or bottled options can be enjoyed in the shop.
Hop BroAt Neko no Shukaijo in Umegaoka, another interesting tap drop has arrived. Led by TOTOPIA's "Boxphobia," six beers are lined up all at once.
MugiWhat, six kinds? So you can taste them all side by side? That alone gets me excited!
Hop BroThe main attraction this time is the West Coast DIPA Boxphobia. The hop bitterness is sharply defined, with citrus, dank, and pine aromas hitting hard.
MugiDank? What does that even mean? Is it like the beer smells like a damp forest? Beer descriptions are suddenly getting difficult!
Hop BroIn simple terms, it means a green, hop-forward character. It can come across as grassy or resinous, and Boxphobia also has a bright citrus edge, so hop-bitterness fans will love it.
MugiI see! Then I might be interested in Drink All Day. With a name like that, it sounds like you could keep drinking happily forever!
Hop BroThat's a good choice. There are also the hard cider SOUR, Saruyama Shikao, which gets its character from yeast rather than sake lees, and My Bock, which lets you enjoy rich malt body.
MugiSaruyama Shikao? That name already wins! What does a Japanese-style saison taste like?
Hop BroA saison originally had the role of a farmhouse beer, and its appeal is the aroma that comes from fermentation. If you're looking for a beer with a vivid aroma, NOMCRAFT's Hazy IPA "Mistic Tiger" is also one you shouldn't miss.
MugiBeing able to enjoy both draft beer and cans in the shop, plus spice food too, is amazing! There are only reasons to drink.
Hop BroAnd it's open from 15:00 to 24:00, so you can go for an early drink or a night of tasting. Today in Umegaoka, it makes you want to go open a hop-forward beer.
MugiI'm going! First Boxphobia, then the cider, and finally the Hazy IPA. I want to go with three rounds based on my mood!
At "Neko no Shukaijo," a craft beer and spice food shop at 1-22-12 Umegaoka, Setagaya-ku, near Umegaoka Station, six new beers have been tapped. True to its beer-pub style, the latest tap update brings together a wide range of styles worth drinking.
This Round's Tap List
- `Drink All Day` / `CRAFTROCK`
- `SOUR` (Hard Cider) / `Green Neighbours`
- `Saruyama Shikao` (Sake Yeast Saison) / `MINOH`
- `My Bock` (Bock) / `BAEREN`
- `Mistic Tiger` (Hazy IPA) / `NOMCRAFT`
- `Boxphobia` (West Coast DIPA) / `TOTOPIA`
The standout is TOTOPIA's `Boxphobia`. In the post, it is introduced as an IPA called "box phobia," and it is described as a beer that combines crisp hop character with citrus, dank, and pine notes. For anyone looking for a sharply defined bitterness typical of a West Coast DIPA, this will likely be the tap to watch.
On the other hand, if you want something easygoing, `Drink All Day` fits the mood; if you're in the mood for something tart, the hard cider `SOUR` is the pick; and if you want something with a Japanese twist, `Saruyama Shikao` is the one to choose. `My Bock` is for when you want to taste malt depth, while `Mistic Tiger` suits those looking for an aromatic Hazy IPA.
"Neko no Shukaijo" is also appealing because you can enjoy craft beer alongside spice food. In addition to drinking on-site, canned and bottled beers can be taken home, and draft beer is available in three sizes. With hours from 15:00 to 24:00, it is easy to use whether you're in the mood for an early drink or a night of tasting. If you're looking for a hop-forward IPA or a cider to change things up in Umegaoka, this lineup is worth checking out.
