Mukuraf in Morishita Adds Three New Drafts as Tokyo Enters Rainy Season
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, updated its tap list for Tokyo’s rainy season. Three new draft beers are now on tap from Outsider Brewing, CRAFTROCK, and Nomcraft, alongside Asahi draft beer Maruef.
Hop BroMukuraf in Morishita just refreshed the taps, and three new pours landed right as Tokyo entered the rainy season. Outsider Brewing, CRAFTROCK, and Nomcraft are on, and even Maruefu joined the lineup.
MugiWhat! A seven-tap lineup already sounds dangerous for my decision-making, and now Maruefu is hanging out with the craft stuff too? That's like a classic lager crashing a hop party!
Hop BroThe first one I'd point to is Outsider Brewing's `BOUQUET`, a Belgian Wit. It uses a yeast derived from Yamanashi peaches, so the soft wheat base gets a really distinctive twist.
MugiHold on, peach-derived yeast? What is that! Are peaches clocking in at the brewery and supervising fermentation now?
Hop BroLet's calm that mental image down, but it's basically the microbe for fermentation coming from that peach-related source. Then it layers in notes of juniper berry, elderflower, and chamomile, so it sounds perfect for a rainy day.
MugiOoh, so it's a floral white beer? Suddenly the rainy season feels a lot more charming. What about CRAFTROCK's `AlternativeIPA`?
Hop BroThat one is an American IPA with grapefruit, tropical fruit, and a grassy bitterness that really pops. And CRAFTROCK is making its first appearance at Mukuraf, which is a nice little flex for the tap list.
MugiNo way, and Nomcraft's `Soloist:Azacca` sounds wild too. Also, Azacca hops sounds less like an ingredient and more like a finishing move!
Hop BroAzacca is a hop variety, and this one is a proper Hazy IPA with mango and pineapple-like fruit up front. The regular taps are strong too: `Trail Current`, `Sweet Strawberry`, and `HOP NYA` DDH Hazy IPA, and DDH just means extra dry hopping for more aroma.
MugiI'm done for, because once you add domestic beef steak and that tomato nikujaga omelet, my stomach and my beer brain are both booking a table. And takeout bottles too? That's dangerous.
Hop BroWhether you sit in and take it slow or grab bottles to go, this feels like a perfect rainy-season stop. I'd start with `BOUQUET` and probably close with Maruefu.
MugiThen it's settled, we're doing a tasting run immediately. Rain soundtrack, `AlternativeIPA`, `Soloist:Azacca`, and zero self-control!
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, shared its latest lineup on a day shaped by the rainy season in Tokyo. The post also notes that there are plenty of seats available, making it an easy stop for a relaxed beer session.
Three new drafts were added: Outsider Brewing's `BOUQUET` Belgian Wit, CRAFTROCK's `AlternativeIPA` American IPA, and Nomcraft's `Soloist:Azacca` Hazy IPA. `BOUQUET` uses yeast derived from Yamanashi peaches and layers sweet fruit with juniper berry, elderflower, and chamomile. `AlternativeIPA` is described as a grapefruit-forward beer with tropical notes, grassy character, and a pleasant bitterness, and it is introduced as CRAFTROCK's first appearance at Mukuraf. `Soloist:Azacca` leans into mango- and pineapple-like juiciness. Asahi draft beer `マルエフ` Pilsner is also on tap.
The rest of the tap list includes Y.MARKET BREWING's `Trail Current` NZ-Style IPA, Oni Densetsu's `スイートストロベリー` Fruits Ale, and HUMANS BEER's `HOP NYA` DDH Hazy IPA. Bottle stock is broad as well: GOODHOPS labels such as `Do Good` IPA, `銀河のホップ畑` Saison, `Tono Belgian IPA` Belgian IPA, `The Classic Hops` Lager, `黄昏のカスケード` IPA, and `遠野の風` IPA; collaborative bottles like WestCoast×鬼伝説 `Hop Legends` Hazy DIPA and WestCoast×Inkhorn `Super Fresh` Hazy DIPA; and WestCoastBrewing titles including `The Lupulin Tree` Hazy DIPA, `Dr.Dankness` Hazy DIPA, `PassionWizard`, `Hop Fua` Hazy IPA, and `Starwatcher` WestCoast IPA.
Food options include beef thigh steak, tomato nikujaga omelet, and soup de poisson, giving the pub a solid food side to match the beer list. Takeout is also available, so Mukuraf works both as a place to settle in and as a spot to pick up bottles.
