Neko no Shukaijo Umegaoka Announces a Saturday Cafe Service, a 3rd Anniversary Event, and 6 Taps
Neko no Shukaijo, a craft beer and spice food spot in Umegaoka, announced its Saturday service details. In addition to six taps including Isekadoya Beer’s pilsner and Shiga Kogen Beer’s Hazy IPA, the lineup also includes cans and bottles, and the post also highlighted a 3rd anniversary event on April 18 and 19.
Hop BroNeko no Shukaijo in Umegaoka has put out a pretty interesting notice, and it includes Saturday cafe service too. It’s nice that they’re thinking carefully about how the place works in the daytime, not just as a beer spot.
MugiWait, you can do both beer and cafe!? One person craft beer, the other a cafe latte, that’s such a free-form way to use the place!
Hop BroExactly. And the tap list has six distinctive choices, including Mugi no Manimani from Isekadoya Beer, SNOW MONKEY IPA from Shiga Kogen Beer, and Starwatcher from West Coast Brewing.
MugiHold on, what even is a rauchbock? That name alone sounds like smoke is coming out of it. Is that a drink!?
Hop BroGood question. A rauchbock is known for the aroma of smoked malt, and a beer like Baeren Brewery’s Onmenburoi leans into roasty flavor and richness. It has a pretty strong sense of being gently fire-kissed.
MugiOhhh! So from a light pilsner to something aromatic like a Hazy IPA, it sounds fun that you can choose based on your mood!
Hop BroThat’s right. And since they also have SOUR hard cider and Pirono Beer’s saison, there’s a wide range of light acidity and aroma too. As a side-trip selection for beer fans, it’s a pretty strong lineup.
MugiAnd cans and bottles are okay too! If you can take home the ones you like, you can keep the experience going at home.
Hop BroExactly. They’ve also announced a 3rd anniversary event on April 18 and 19. Kiriwo Men is coming on the 18th, and masala jeico on the 19th, so it’s the kind of setup where noodles and spice curry keep the beer flowing.
MugiIt’s within walking distance of Umegaoka Station, and if the hours are 3:00 p.m. to midnight, it’s easy to drop by. I’m starting to want both a light Saturday cafe stop and a full anniversary-event drink!
The beer pub "Craft Beer & Spice Food Neko no Shukaijo Umegaoka," located in Umegaoka, Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, published a post expressing thanks for Saturday cafe use. Even in the daytime on a day off, you can enjoy not only craft beer but also cafe menu items together, which is very much this shop’s style.
In the post, the shop says that if two people visit, they can enjoy it like this: "one person has beer, the other has a cafe latte and a sandwich." While centered on spice food, it comes across as a place that works well both for people who want to focus on beer and for people who just want a light meal.
The tap list that day featured six beers. The lineup was as follows.
- Mugi no Manimani (German Pilsner) / Isekadoya Beer
- SOUR (Hard Cider) / Green Neighbours
- Pirono Saison (Saison) / Pirono Beer
- Onmenburoi (Rauchbock) / Baeren Brewery
- SNOW MONKEY IPA (Hazy IPA) / Shiga Kogen Beer
- Starwatcher (West Coast IPA) / West Coast Brewing
Looking at the lineup, it covers everything from pilsner, cider, and saison to rauchbock, Hazy IPA, and West Coast IPA, offering a wide range from a crisp pint to aromatic IPAs and roasted, lager-like beers. The shop also carries cans and bottles, so you can take home a beer you liked and keep enjoying it there.
The post also announced that a 3rd anniversary event will be held on April 18 and 19. On the 18th, phantom ramen "Kiriwo Men" will join as a food guest, and on the 19th, spice curry "masala jeico" will appear as a food guest, creating a menu that pairs well with beer. Conveniently located within walking distance of Umegaoka Station, it stands out as an easy place to enjoy craft beer and spice food, making it worth noting for anyone looking for a weekend drink spot.
Opening hours that day are 3:00 p.m. to midnight. It’s worth remembering as a place that can handle everything from a cafe stop to a full drinking session while letting you compare the character of each tap.
