Mugibaru, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Ota-ku, Tokyo, announced on Instagram that it will raise prices again starting in October. In the post, the shop also discussed the realities of running a small venue, including higher container costs and the difficulty of adding takeout-focused service.

On tap now is Isekadoya Beer’s `Sakekasu HAZY IPA`, paired with a food item called `engawa yukke`. The lineup suggests a pub that keeps things casual while still giving drinkers a reason to linger over the glass.

Current taps


- Mugamuchu / Shiga Kogen Beer (Hazy IPA, 7.5%)
- Project DIPA / Y.Market Brewing (w-IPA, 8%)
- Karan Hyuganatsu Fruit Ale / Hime Beer (Fruit Ale, 2%)
- Marika / COEDO (Session IPA, 4.5%)
- Jukusen / Asahi (Pilsner, 5.5%)

Next up


- Hysteric IPA / Y.Market Brewing (American IPA, 7%)
- Mata Ashita Hazy IPA / Y.Market Brewing (Hazy IPA, 6%)
- I.P.A / North Island Beer (IPA, 6.5%)

Even with a price-increase notice, the tap list remains broad and beer-focused. For drinkers in Kamata looking for everything from classic pilsner to hazy and fruit-driven styles, Mugibaru is still worth noting.
