MugiWhat! Eight kinds all the time? So that means eight chances to hesitate every time? That's nice, but also the kind of place where I won't be able to choose!
Hop BroExactly. And the key point is that it's not just a lot of beers, but freshly poured draft beer. It has that guest-beer feel, so the lineup changes and it's fun every time you go.
MugiGuest beer? What even is that! I get the changing-every-day part, but if it's different every day, I have to keep going or I'll never catch up!
Hop BroBasically, it's about enjoying the labels that are on tap that day rather than a regular house beer. The public information doesn't list specific beer names or styles, but the fun is comparing the character of breweries from Japan and overseas.

MugiAnd on weekdays it's at night, but on weekends and holidays it opens at 3 p.m.! Having a drink in daylight feels a little dangerously indulgent when you're traveling!
Hop BroSince it's in Katamachi, it's easy to get to, and the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere is great too. Being easy to enter whether you're drinking alone or with a small group is a pretty important appeal.
MugiYeah, if I go to Kanazawa, I want to stop here first! The feeling of going to see what's on tap today is exciting, and now my throat is already in beer mode!
Hop BroIn the end, it's all about having a drink in Kanazawa. If you snack on dumplings while drinking draft beer, it's the kind of place you won't want to leave.
