MugiWait, there's a place that interesting just 3 minutes away!
Hop BroExactly. It's a small, counter-centered place where you can enjoy how the beers pair with the food. This time, the lineup is from CYCAD Brewing, Minamiaizu MountainBrewing, and Mojiko Beer.
MugiHey, what's honey essence? That's not the same as honey itself, right? I'm a little confused!
Hop BroCYCAD Brewing's Buzz Honey is ABV 4.5%, made with barley and wheat in a 50:50 ratio, then honey essence and lactose are added to create a silky sweetness.
MugiWow, so it's basically a dessert-like beer!? That's less a drink and more a snack!
Hop BroExactly. Next up is Minamiaizu MountainBrewing's OLLIE, ABV 5.0%, a Hazy-leaning Sour IPA with aromas of grapefruit and pineapple, plus a refreshing lemon-like acidity.
MugiHazy, Sour IPA... those fancy English terms are intense! But I do like sour things.
Hop BroTo put it simply, it has a cloudy feel, lots of fruit character, and it's easy to drink without getting tired of it. Mojiko Beer's Pilsner is a strong contender that won first place in the pale lager category at the JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2026, and its crisp golden color and moderate bitterness are its appeal.
MugiWow, now I don't know which one to pick! If I stop by in Mitaka after work, I'll want to drink the sweet one, the sour one, and the super crisp one too!

The aroma brings to mind grapefruit, pineapple, and stone fruit, while the taste centers on a refreshing acidity reminiscent of lemon and citrus peel. It is easy to drink without fatigue and suits moments when you want a fruit-forward pour.
Mojiko Beer "Pilsner"
ABV 5.0%. A skilled Pilsner that was selected as the No. 1 beer in the pale lager category at the JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2026. Its clear golden color is joined by the aroma of fresh hops and a moderate bitterness, making its crisp finish stand out. It is a type that also works well as a beer with meals.
