Today's lineup

Marumugi, a beer pub on the second floor in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its craft beer menu for September 5. The pricing is listed as JPY 1,200+ tax for a large pour and JPY 900+ tax for a small pour, making it easy to choose the size that fits the moment.

- English Golden Summer / Reputsuro Beer (Shizuoka): 5.0%. A summer ale with a bright, elegant profile and lemon-like aromatics.
- Hysteric IPA / Y.MARKET BREWING (Aichi): 7.0%. An IPA built around layered hop aroma and firm bitterness.
- Summer Orange Ale / Shonan Beer (Kanagawa): 5.0%. A refreshing ale with a distinct fruity character.
- Sakura Beer / Mojiko Retro Beer (Fukuoka): 5.5%. A classic beer with a nostalgic, Taisho-era feel.
- EVERYDAY IPA / Great Dane Brewing (Miyagi): 4.7%. A light, hoppy session IPA that lives up to its name.

The lineup spans summer ales, IPAs, and a classic-style beer, so it works both for a quick pint and for a small tasting session. It is a varied list without feeling overly busy.

Marumugi is the kind of pub where drinkers can settle in and focus on the beer itself. Its Arakicho location makes it an easy stop after work, and the shop notes that it is open as usual on this date, with Tuesdays and public holidays closed. For anyone looking for a straightforward tap list with character, this is a solid daily update to note.
