Hop BroMarumugi Craft Beer Bar in Arakicho has released its November 1 tap list. Five distinctive pours for an autumn night—choosing will be hard!
MugiWhat, five different beers? There’s not only IPA but peach beer too? I’m getting tipsy just deciding!
Hop BroThe headliner is Minami Shinshu Beer’s MOONLIGHT IPA. At 7.0% ABV, it’s made for savoring floral aromas and a long finish.
MugiI hear IPA everywhere, but what is it? Is it like the boss of bitter beer?
Hop BroClose, but “boss” is a bit dramatic! IPA is a style that highlights hop aroma and bitterness; this one feels like a fragrant IPA for nighttime.
MugiGot it! Then is Mojiko Retro Beer’s Oktoberfest Bier the kind of beer that makes you want to toast at an autumn festival?
Hop BroExactly. This 6.0% lager is defined by its deep flavor from long aging. It’s not merely crisp—it has mellow autumnal depth.
MugiBeer gets aged too? And Shima Brewing’s Brown IPA sounds brown and bitter… but if it’s toasty, I want it!
Hop BroThe 6.5% Brown IPA combines toasty malt with fragrant hops. Malt means brewed grain, so think bread-like roasted notes alongside the hop aroma.
MugiThen I’ll have Isekado Brewery’s Classic Pale Ale with food and conversation, then finish with Minoh Beer’s peach weissbier. Starting at ¥1,000 for a small—I want to go to Arakicho now!
The November 1 tap list
Located on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho, Shinjuku, Marumugi is a beer pub specializing in craft beer from breweries across Japan. Its November 1 lineup features five beers. Large pours are priced at ¥1,300, while small pours are ¥1,000.
From Nagano, Minami-Shinshu Beer’s 7.0% MOONLIGHT IPA is described as an IPA with floral aromas and a lingering finish. Its aromatic profile and higher strength make it a fitting choice for a leisurely autumn evening.
Mojiko Retro Beer from Fukuoka contributes the 6.0% Oktoberfest Bier. Long maturation brings depth to this seasonal lager, making it a slower, richer option than a purely light and crisp lager.
Mie’s Shima Brewing offers Brown IPA, at 6.5% ABV. Toasted malt and expressive hops combine in a beer with notable depth, placing equal emphasis on malt character and hop aroma.
Also from Mie, Ise Kadoya Beer’s 5.0% Classic Pale Ale is presented as a fragrant, full-flavored pale ale. Its balanced profile should work well alongside food or as an approachable choice for an extended session.
The fruit-forward option is Minoh Beer’s Domestic Peach Weizen – Kawanakajima White Peach Version, brewed in Osaka at 5.0% ABV. The beer is positioned as a chance to enjoy the final peaches of the year, with an aromatic peach character.
Together, the list covers mature lager flavors, hop-led beers, malt-driven complexity, and seasonal fruit character. For beer drinkers spending an autumn evening in Arakicho, Marumugi offers a compact but varied selection for tasting across styles. The pub is closed on Tuesdays and public holidays, and its current standard pricing is ¥1,300 for a large pour and ¥1,000 for a small pour.
