Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi posts no new taps on Aug. 29, but keeps a deep bottle lineup
On a rainy Saturday at the end of August, Mukuraf said there were no new tap openings, but the beer list stayed fully stocked. The Shin-Ohashi beer pub is still offering a broad mix of bottles, draft beer, and food pairings.
Hop BroMukuraf's August 29 update has a nice vibe to it. They straight-up said no new taps today, but it still feels like the perfect rainy-day stop in Shinohashi.
MugiWait, what! Zero fresh kegs and we're still excited? Isn't that usually beer-lover code for 'pack it up and go home'?!
Hop BroThat's the trick with Mukuraf. The bottle lineup is stacked with GROUND TAP BREWING's HIMAWARI, UCHIWA, and IKAKU, plus VERTERE bottles like Passiflora#49, Casimiroa#41, and Fabiana#1.
MugiWhoa, VERTERE on bottles is fancy. Those names are so stylish I'd probably freeze in front of the menu for three whole minutes.
Hop BroAnd NOMCRAFT brought the space-cop energy with Jochaku IPA and Sekisha Lager, plus Shoketsu Sour. Then you've got West Coast Brewing's Starwatcher, Chill Pils, Triple Cone, Instant Classic, and the collab Game Night with Kyoto Brewing.
MugiHold on, what even is IPA? That name sounds less like a beer and more like a finishing move.
Hop BroBasically, IPA means hoppy and bitter-ish. Lager is lighter and crisper, sour has tang, and that's why the draft list works so well: Jukusen, Yawatahama Mikan Ale, Vacation Mind, HOP BIDDY BYE BYE, SHAKUNAGE, and CLOSE TO ME2 all cover different moods.
MugiNo way, the draft range too? I could go bright and easy with the mikan ale, or get absolutely smacked by hops with HOP BIDDY BYE BYE. My brain is already holding a tasting committee.
Hop BroThe food makes it even better. Lamb stew with couscous, porchetta, and an appetizer plate mean this is the kind of place where you settle in and pair things properly on a rainy day.
Hop BroThe service setup is thoughtful too, with last entry at 8 PM. Even without a new keg, Mukuraf still built a full evening around bottles, draft, and food.
MugiI'm starting with Yawatahama Mikan Ale for sure! If I jump into the space-cop series after that, I'm basically transforming at the table.
Hop BroThen it's settled: a drink in Shinohashi. VERTERE by bottle, IPA on draft, something hearty to eat, and suddenly this sounds like a stop I want to make right now.
On Saturday, August 29, Mukuraf shared a low-key update that fit the weather: no new tap openings for the day, but plenty to drink. The Shin-Ohashi beer pub also noted there was plenty of seating available, with last orders and final entry at 8 p.m.
The bottle lineup includes GROUND TAP BREWING’s `HIMAWARI`, `UCHIWA`, and `IKAKU`; NOMCRAFT’s Space Sheriff series `Jocho IPA`, `Seksha Lager`, and `Shoketsu Sour`; West Coast Brewing’s `Starwatcher`, `Chill Pils`, `Triple Cone`, and `Instant Classic`; the West Coast × Kyoto Brewing collab `Game Night`; and VERTERE’s `Passiflora#49`, `Casimiroa#41`, and `Fabiana#1`.
Draft beer still covers a wide range: `Jukusen`, `Yahatahama Mikan Ale`, NOMCRAFT × OpenAir’s `Vacation Mind`, TWO RABBITS’ `HOP BIDDY BYE BYE`, GROUND TAP BREWING’s `SHAKUNAGE`, and TAROS BREWING’s `CLOSE TO ME2`. The lineup moves from crisp lager territory to hop-forward IPA and collab releases, so there is enough variety to build a session around.
Food is equally beer-friendly, with dishes such as lamb stew with couscous, porchetta, and assorted starters. It is the kind of update that makes Mukuraf feel like a dependable stop for drinking and eating through a rainy late-summer weekend.
