MugiWait, and they even have plenty of seats! Being able to drop in and compare pours is amazing!
Hop BroThe highlight is GOODHOPS's MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA/LAGER, two special beers made with the hop variety Murakami Seven developed by Mr. Murakami.
MugiWhat is that! Even with the same hop, do IPA and lager really taste that different when you compare them side by side?
Hop BroThey do - IPAs tend to bring the aroma forward, and lagers tend to come through with a cleaner outline, so it's interesting to compare how the Japanese citrus aroma comes across.
MugiWow! It says there are labels lined up all over the place, and having GOODHOPS, Brasserie Knot, and GreenNeighbors all there is amazing!
Hop BroExactly. With Brasserie Knot's TIP and MOON and even GreenNeighbors' apple-based beers, the lineup lets you move back and forth between fruitiness and hop character.
MugiAnd the draft list is strong too - KaruizawaQ's Kaze Tooshi Session IPA and HUMANS BEER's guava-and-mango beer are enough to make you lose track of everything!
Hop BroAnd the food is lamb stew and raw-shirasu focaccia, so it's very Mukuraf to have a proper beer-friendly dish lineup.
MugiAt this point, I want to start with MURAKAMI SEVEN and then work through the taps! I'm getting the urge to drink right now!
Hop BroAll right, then today let's spend the night at Mukuraf moving back and forth between bottles and drafts, and finish with a toast for the two of us.
At Mukuraf, the beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, today's post said there were no new draft beers tapped, while announcing new bottled-beer arrivals. The shop says there are 'plenty of seats,' making it easy to drop in and enjoy a tasting.
The highlight is GOODHOPS's 'MURAKAMI SEVEN IPA' and 'MURAKAMI SEVEN LAGER.' The post introduces them as two special beers made with the hop variety 'Murakami Seven,' developed earlier by GOODHOPS's brewing chief, Mr. Murakami. They are said to have an aroma reminiscent of Japanese citrus, and it should be interesting to compare how that character comes through in both the IPA and the lager.
Other bottles include GOODHOPS's 'Tohno no Kaze' IPA, 'Tasogare no Cascade' IPA, 'Yoki na Nectaron' IPA, 'HAZYGOOD1' Hazy Pale Ale, and 'HAZYGOOD1' Hazy IPA. From Brasserie Knot come 'TIP' NZ IPA, 'MOON' Double IPA, 'NoMaps' West Coast IPA, 'YAMASACHI' Fruits Ale, and 'NORA' Rye IPA. GreenNeighbors adds 'ALL. 18 kinds of apples,' 'FUJI SINGLE,' 'LA FRANCE,' 'KYOUKA,' 'SOUR TOKI ver,' and 'KOGYOKU SINGLE,' so the fruit-forward options are also plentiful.
The draft lineup is broad as well. KaruizawaQ's 'Kaze Tooshi' Session IPA, HUMANS BEER's 'GUAVA and MANGO' Wheat Ale, Kyoto Brewing's 'HOP IDOL-STRATA' IPA, Nomcraft's 'Moonbow Sheep' WCIPA, Kakegawa Farm Brewing's 'Forever Love' Hazy IPA, and FLORA FERMENTATION's 'Raven' West Coast IPA are on tap, making for a lineup centered on IPAs but with fruit-driven and hoppy options too.
The food menu includes lamb stew with couscous, house-made focaccia topped with raw shirasu, fried conger eel, meatballs and mashed potatoes, and seared bonito. It's a lineup that suits people who want a solid meal with their beer, and lets you pair dishes one by one while moving between bottles and draft pours.
