Mugisaya Pogology pairs chilled Manganji ramen with 14 taps on Tuesday
In a July 21 Instagram post, the Osaka beer pub Mugisaya Pogology highlighted its Tuesday-only *Menjiro* special. The limited bowl was chilled Manganji pepper ramen, alongside a tap list featuring CRAFTBANK, Minoh Beer, Kyoto Brewing, Yorocco Beer, and Guinness Nitro.
Hop BroThere’s a great story out of Mugishuya Pogology in Osaka today: on Tuesdays they pair Menjiro with 14 taps.
MugiWhat! A beer pub with ramen too? And this week it’s chilled Manganji ramen? That’s way too tempting.
Hop BroAnd the tap list is stacked: CRAFTBANK’s 88★PUNCH and Coffee IPA, plus even GUINNESS NITRO ver.
MugiWait, what is GUINNESS NITRO ver supposed to mean? That sounds like a spell, not a beer.
Hop BroNitro means it’s poured with nitrogen, which gives you super-fine creamy bubbles and a really smooth texture.
MugiOh wow! Then what on earth is Coffee IPA exactly? My brain can’t decide if it wants beans or hops.
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it: roasted coffee-like aroma layered over hop bitterness, basically a double-hit of aroma.
MugiAnd it’s not just local craft beer either, right? You’ve got overseas breweries and cider too, which makes it a wildly broad lineup.
Hop BroExactly, with beers like Kyoto Brewing’s Lactose Dependency and a hard cider in the mix, plus the Pogojiro set for 1500 yen on weekdays.
MugiThat settles it, then: Tuesday means cold ramen first and then pick today’s perfect pour from the taps.
Hop BroThat’s the ideal move, honestly: slurp the noodles, then work through the taps on the best Osaka detour imaginable.
Tuesday’s Menjiro
Mugisaya Pogology, a beer pub in Osaka’s Chuo Ward, used its Instagram post to promote the shop’s Tuesday-only Menjiro special. This time, the limited ramen was chilled Manganji pepper ramen, introduced as an unusual style of ramen. It is the kind of seasonal bowl that makes sense when the weather turns hot.
What is on tap
The day’s tap list covered a wide range of beer and cider styles. The lineup included CRAFTBANK’s 88★PUNCH, Minoh Beer’s Coffee IPA and Haikara Pils, Hop Butcher For The World’s FINGER FOOD, Kyoto Brewing’s 乳糖依存性, Onidensetsu’s 西鬼東鬼 IPA, REC CIDER BEER WORKS’ ゆらゆらハードサイダー アップルバース, Shima Brewing’s はっさくエール, BLADE FACTORY BREWING’s GOLDEN SLICE, Yorocco Beer’s Coastal Echo, Ushitora Brewery’s 千の酒になって and ダブル風鈴, plus GUINNESS NITRO ver / Diageo.
Why it works
The pub also offers a weekday Pogojiro Set: one regular-size craft beer plus three daily side dishes for 1,500 yen. The formula is simple, and that is the appeal. On Tuesday, you can come for the ramen; on other weekdays, you can come for the set; and at any time, the rotating tap list gives you a reason to stay for another glass.
