Mugibaru in Kamata Serves Six Beers from Hokkaido to Shizuoka
Beer pub Mugibaru in Nishi-Kamata, Tokyo, has announced a six-beer lineup featuring breweries from Hokkaido, Shizuoka, Saitama, Aichi, and beyond. The selection ranges from juicy IPAs to a golden ale, session IPA, and pilsner.
Hop BroKamata’s beer pub Mugi Bar has today’s six-beer lineup, with distinctive pours from Hokkaido to Shizuoka.
MugiWhat? We can do a nationwide craft-beer tour without leaving Kamata?
Hop BroFirst up is NORTH ISLAND BEER’s Lush Line from Hokkaido: a 6.5% juicy IPA with plenty of hop aroma and body.
MugiNo way! Does juicy IPA mean they squeeze fruit juice into the beer?
Hop BroNot necessarily. It describes hop aromas that suggest citrus and tropical fruit—basically a juicy fruit-like impression in the glass.
MugiOhhh! Then what is Hokkaido brewery Hopkotan’s epitta, this Sorachi Ace IPA thing?
Hop BroIt’s a 7% American IPA brewed with Sorachi Ace, a Hokkaido-grown hop. Its distinctive aroma makes it a hop-geek conversation starter.
MugiBefore you go full beer professor, I want the sweet-sounding one! Hansharo Beer’s Honey Golden Ale sounds like banana and honey notes in a glass!
Hop BroIt’s a 5% golden ale. There’s also COEDO’s 4.5% session IPA Marihana and Asahi Jukusen, so it works for friends with different tastes too.
MugiAnd Y.Market Brewing’s Hysteric IPA is coming next, right? At dog-friendly Mugi Bar, I want a meal and a toast immediately!
Hop BroDone. We’ll warm up with Marihana, then take on Lush Line and epitta—a hop trip in Kamata. Cheers!
Mugibaru’s Current Beer Selection

Two beers come from Hokkaido. NORTH ISLAND BEER’s “Lush Line” is a 6.5% juicy IPA, offering a hop-forward option with a fuller impression. Hop Kotan’s “epitta -Sorachi Ace IPA-” is a 7% American IPA brewed with Sorachi Ace, a hop variety closely associated with Hokkaido.
From Shizuoka, Hansharo Beer contributes “Nbanana! Honey Golden Ale,” a 5% golden ale whose name suggests banana-like and honeyed nuances. COEDO’s “Marihana” from Saitama is a 4.5% session IPA, making it a lighter choice for food pairing or an easy second pint.
The selection also includes Asahi’s “Jukusen,” a 5.5% pilsner. Its inclusion gives guests a crisp lager option alongside the more hop-driven craft beers.
