TOWA in Ueno taps Nomcraft’s Wonder Mosaic and Hideji Stout
TOWA, a beer pub in Ueno, Tokyo, posted its August 17 update while open for service. The lineup includes Nomcraft’s Wonder Mosaic and a stout from Miyazaki Hideji Beer, with happy hour running until 7 p.m.
Hop BroUeno TOWA has a seriously good August 17 tap list today. They’ve got Nomcraft Brewing’s Wonder Mosaic and a stout from Miyazaki Hideji Beer pouring at the same time.
MugiWhat, an IPA and a stout on the same lineup? On a Monday? My self-control just left the building!
Hop BroExactly. Tap six is Wonder Mosaic from Nomcraft Brewing. It’s a West Coast IPA built around Mosaic hops, with a sweet aroma, firm bitterness, and a clean finish.
MugiHold on, Mosaic hops sounds powerful. Is it called that because the flavors are stacked like tiles, or am I inventing beer architecture?
Hop BroBeer architecture is a new one. West Coast IPA usually means crisp bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish, which is perfect for sticky summer weather.
MugiOhhh, clean but bitter sounds like a grown-up citrus soda. I could actually see myself starting there!
Hop BroThen tap ten brings a roasty stout from Miyazaki Hideji Beer. Dark malt, deep flavor, and that toasted character make it great for a slow sip.
MugiNo way, so roasted malt is what that means! I heard roast and immediately imagined my mouth turning into a barbecue pit!
Hop BroNo barbecue emergency today. TOWA is on the second floor in Ueno, and there’s happy hour until 7 p.m., so one quick drink can very realistically become two.
MugiThat settles it! Start with Wonder Mosaic, finish with the stout, and call it the perfect Monday route. Now I really want a glass!

- ⑥ Wonder Mosaic / Nomcraft Brewing
A West Coast IPA that the post describes as bringing out the Mosaic hop character directly. It is noted for a sweet aroma, firm bitterness, and a clean finish, which makes it a good fit for hot, humid weather.
