Mukuraf Taps KaruizawaQ's "Kazetōshi," Plus Brasserie Knot and VERTERE
The beer pub Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, updated today’s beer lineup. In addition to the newly tapped KaruizawaQ "Kazetōshi" Session IPA, taps from TAROS BREWING, Minoh Beer, Nomcraft, and BREW CLASSIC are on offer, along with a wide selection of bottles.
Hop BroToday, the beer pub Mukuraf’s new lineup in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo is hot. The star is KaruizawaQ’s "Kazetōshi," a Session IPA that goes down light and easy.
MugiWhoa, "Kazetōshi" sounds cute! But Session IPA is one of those things you’d probably say fast, right?
Hop BroThat’s a great reaction. A Session IPA is basically an IPA that’s easy to drink and lower in alcohol, and this one has grapefruit-like citrus plus tropical and pine notes.
MugiPine notes? So it’s like a forest-bath beer? Wait, are you supposed to take a deep breath while drinking beer?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close. When hop aromas layer grapefruit, tropical fruit, and resinous notes, it comes together as a dry, refreshing finish.
MugiGot it! And the tap list is huge, with TAROS BREWING, Minoh Beer, Nomcraft, and BREW CLASSIC too. Isn’t the tap lineup totally jammed?
Hop BroThat’s exactly Mukuraf’s strength. For example, TAROS’s "As You Feel 2" TDH Hazy IPA, Minoh’s "Blooming IPA" Belgian IPA, Nomcraft’s "Moonbow Sheep" WCIPA, and BREW CLASSIC’s "Wolf Chop" Wheat IPA make for an all-star cast of distinct IPA styles.
MugiThey even have bottles? Brasserie Knot, West Coast Brewing, VERTERE... I’m already getting tipsy just from the names!
Hop BroAnd the contents are strong too. Brasserie Knot has NZ IPA "TIP" and Double IPA "MOON," West Coast Brewing has "Full Hop Alchemist v29" and "Starwatcher," and VERTERE ranges from Hazy IPA to Imperial Stout and Belgian Quad, giving it an extremely wide range.
MugiThe food is wild too, from focaccia topped with raw whitebait and beef shank curry to a final matcha parfait. Looks like a guaranteed long stay from lunchtime.
Hop BroExactly. With that beer character and that much food variety, it’s perfect for a slow session in the Morishita area. Today, let’s start with a glass of Kazetōshi and then head straight into the deep end.
