Mukuraf adds three new beers, including KaruizawaQ's "Along the Way," to its rainy-day tap list
The beer pub Mukuraf in Morishita, Tokyo, updated its tap list to suit a rainy day. The three new taps are KaruizawaQ's "Along the Way," Y.MARKET BREWING's "BEER-TEX#1.3 RainyJacket," and Nomcraft's "7thRevolution WCIPA." The bottle beer selection is also well stocked.
Hop BroTokyo's Morishita beer pub Mukuraf's rainy-day update really hits the spot. Today the taps have KaruizawaQ's "Along the Way," Y.MARKET's "RainyJacket," and Nomcraft's "7thRevolution WCIPA," and just the names make you want to drink them.
MugiWait, they change the beer to match the rain!? A rainy-day lineup sounds way too stylish!
Hop BroWhat catches my eye first is KaruizawaQ's "Along the Way," and this is all about the softness of an Irish Red. The biscuit-like malt is layered with hints of caramel and dried fruit, so it's not flashy, but it's genuinely good.
MugiBiscuit and dried fruit? You can really taste that in beer!? What does malt character even mean? This sounds like you're talking about snacks!
Hop BroMalt is the malted grain, and that's where the sweetness and toasty aroma come from. It has this calm red-beer feel, so drinking it slowly on a rainy day makes the mood just loosen up.
MugiI get it! So what about Y.MARKET's "BEER-TEX#1.3 RainyJacket"? The name alone is strong, and it makes me want to drink it while holding an umbrella!
Hop BroIt's an American IPA, but the bitterness doesn't run wild, and what comes forward is the berry and white-peach aroma. It's juicy and light, so it instantly clears out that damp, rainy feeling.
MugiWait, an IPA with a clean finish? That's almost unfair! Berry and white peach? It's basically a fruit shop!
Hop BroAnd Nomcraft's "7thRevolution WCIPA" is one for hop fans. FreshCryoHop's vivid punch gives it a green aroma and firm bitterness, so it's like a monument to their seventh anniversary.
MugiWhoa, the taps are already a lot, and the bottles are amazing too! It feels like a treasure trove of limited bottles, the kind that's fun just to choose from!
Hop BroAnd they even have cheese pork piccata and galette complète, so there are too many reasons to drink. That they take food and beer pairings seriously is so Mukuraf, and it makes me want to settle in and drink there on a rainy day.
MugiI can't resist, I want to go today! The answer to a rainy day is to have a drink at Mukuraf!
At the beer pub Mukuraf in Shino-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, a lineup suited to rainy days appeared.
Three new taps
There were three new taps that day. First to catch the eye was KaruizawaQ's "Along the Way" Irish Red. It's a softly textured pour with gentle biscuit-like malt character layered with notes of caramel and dried fruit.
Next was Y.MARKET BREWING's "BEER-TEX#1.3 RainyJacket" American IPA. Bright aromas reminiscent of berries and white peach open into juicy notes like pineapple and marmalade, while the bitterness stays restrained and the finish is clean. True to a beer named for a rainy day, its lightness stands out.
The third is Nomcraft's "7thRevolution WCIPA" West Coast IPA. Made with NuvoHops FreshCryoHop, it offers vivid hop aroma from hops frozen immediately after harvest, along with a fresh green character and firm bitterness. The post also mentions Nomcraft's seventh anniversary, positioning it as a beer to celebrate the milestone.
Bottle beer, too, is available in a broad range
Beyond the taps, bottle beer continues to be sold as well. Uchu Brewing's "KONBINI IPA", GROUND TAP BREWING's "TSURUGI" American IPA, "TSUTSUJI" Hazy IPA, "TARUMONJI" Hazy IPA, "BAKENEKO" Hazy IPA, plus West Coast Brewing's "FullHopAlchemist r8" Hazy DIPA, "PassionWizard", "Hop Fua" Hazy IPA, "Starwatcher" West Coast IPA, "No Ketchup" Hazy DIPA, and "Triple Cone" Hazy IPA, among others, are on offer.
As a beer pub
Mukuraf is a beer pub in Tokyo's Morishita area that is easy to drop into casually. The shop also offers food that pairs easily with beer; the post highlighted cheese pork piccata, galette complète, and summer vegetable and beef keema curry rice. It's a setup that works whether you want to spend time savoring beer on tap or pick up bottles to take home.
Even on a day when the rain makes getting around a hassle, it's appealing to have everything from hop-forward IPAs with a strong aroma, to mellow red beers with a calm malt character, to limited-edition bottles. It's a lineup that feels distinctly Mukuraf, tying food and beer together without forcing the match.
