Mukuraf Opens Two New Taps in Shin-Ohashi, Including Hansharo Beer's "Juicy Drop IPA"
Beer pub Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, announced in an Instagram post that it has opened two new taps. In addition to Hansharo Beer's "Juicy Drop IPA" and HUMANS BEER's "Yugawara Nekomikan Shonan Gold IPA," the lineup also includes bottles from Uchu Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and Collective Arts.
Hop BroAt Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, two new taps have just gone live. It's Hansharo Beer's "Juicy Drop IPA" and HUMANS BEER's "Yugawara Nekomikan Shonan Gold IPA," so today's lineup is pretty bold.
MugiWhoa! "Juicy Drop" already sounds delicious! And "Nekomikan Shonan Gold" has so much information in the name that my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroFirst, "Juicy Drop IPA" really puts the tropical hop aroma up front, and the oats and wheat give it a super smooth mouthfeel. Even though it's an IPA, it doesn't feel too sharp and goes down easily.
MugiDo oats and wheat really change the flavor that much? When you say soft, fluffy mouthfeel, it suddenly makes the beer sound like a blanket!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. Compared with an IPA made from malt alone, oats and wheat round out the body and make it easier to carry the hop juiciness. So even though the finish is softer, the aroma is still bright and expressive.
MugiI see! So HUMANS BEER's "Yugawara Nekomikan Shonan Gold IPA" is all about the citrus peel and juice character? It feels like a mikan is dancing in the beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's made with Shonan Gold from Yugawara, and the citrus aroma and crisp finish are highlighted. That means the citrus character really stands out, and it doesn't get too heavy even as an IPA.
MugiAnd it's not just the taps, either. They even have bottles from Uchu Brewing, West Coast Brewing, and Collective Arts. It feels like a tasting paradise!
Hop BroRight. Once you have Uchu's "KONBINI IPA," WCB's "FullHopAlchemist r8" and "Starwatcher," and Collective Arts' "GoodMonster" all lined up, you can really play with the range of IPA styles. From punchy bitterness to juicy styles to sour-leaning beers, it's all there.
MugiAnd if there are seats available, it's great that you can just drop by! If this much is lined up along Shin-Ohashi Street, isn't it too strong as a stop for tonight?
Hop BroThe food also makes it easy to build a meal around beer, with cocktail shrimp, tuna focaccia, quiche with whitebait and olives, and even summer vegetable curry. Having steak and Neapolitan spaghetti on the menu is reassuring too.
MugiI'm decided! I want to start with "Juicy Drop IPA" and then reset my palate with the Shonan Gold next! I'm already in the mood to toast right now!
Hop BroThen we agree on the ending. At Mukuraf, today's stars are the two new taps, and after that it's the kind of place where you want to sip through the bottles and have a proper drink.
