Mukuraf Keeps West Coast Brewing and GOODHOPS Bottles on Offer
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, reported no new taps in its latest post and highlighted its bottle-beer selection instead. The lineup also included six draft beers, ranging from pilsner to hazy IPA, alongside a food menu built for a relaxed beer session.
Hop BroLet me bring up Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, because the headline is no new taps today, yet somehow that makes the whole lineup more fun to dig into.
MugiWhat? No fresh keg sounds like disappointing news, so how is this getting better instead?
Hop BroBecause West Coast Brewing showed up with a killer bottle lineup. Freestyle Sandbox8 is a Hazy DIPA, Triple Cone a Hazy IPA, Analog Glow a West Coast IPA, and Instant Classic an American Pale Ale.
MugiThose names already sound delicious, but Hazy DIPA feels like a final boss. What am I actually getting in the glass?
Hop BroThink juicy cloudy aroma for the hazy part, and DIPA means stronger alcohol. A West Coast IPA is clearer, snappier, more bitter, and finishes dry.
MugiOkay, so GOODHOPS and that Xroad Session IPA are the easier-going side? Summer Grow and Tono IBUKI IPA sound tempting too.
Hop BroExactly. A Session IPA is built for longer sipping, so it stays lighter and easier to keep drinking. GOODHOPS really knows how to line up IPA choices.
MugiAnd there are still six taps in the house? That is not a slow day. TAROS BREWING even has a TDH Hazy IPA. Is that a beer or a Wi-Fi password?
Hop BroTDH means triple dry hopped. You add layers of hops after fermentation to push the aroma way up. With something like ACRUX #2, your nose starts drinking first.
MugiYour nose starts drinking first is incredible. And with Jukusen Pilsner, Natsuzora sansho ale, Minawa, fireworks, and Scheme, the style range is huge.
Hop BroAt that point I already want a first glass. They also have nori-tarako pasta, house mortadella, peach burrata, plus bottle sales and even keg beer takeaway.
MugiSame, I want a slow round at Mukuraf right now. Start with Freestyle Sandbox8, finish with Summer Grow, and let the whole afternoon disappear.
Bottle-focused update
In this post, Mukuraf notes that there are no new tap additions today and that bottle beers remain very much available. The tone matches the day itself: hot, a bit cloudy, and the kind of Saturday where the sun can catch you off guard.
What is on offer
The bottle list includes West Coast Brewing's 'Freestyle Sandbox8' Hazy DIPA, 'Triple Cone' Hazy IPA, 'Analog Glow' West Coast IPA, and 'Instant Classic' American Pale Ale. GOODHOPS adds 'Summer Grow' IPA, 'Tono IBUKI IPA', 'Pacific Lines' IPA, and 'Xroad' Session IPA.
The draft lineup also features Asahi's 'Jukusen' Pilsner, Kamado Brewery's 'Natsuzora' sansho ale, TAROS BREWING's 'ACRUX #2' TDH Hazy IPA, KaruizawaQ's 'Minawa' Juicy IPA, Open Air Brewing's 'fireworks' IPA, and BREW CLASSIC's 'Scheme' Hazy IPA. The range runs from crisp lager territory to hop-forward hazy styles.
Pairings and atmosphere
Food options lean seasonal and substantial, including tarako pasta with rock seaweed, house-made mortadella, boiled mackerel from Maizuru, and the peach-and-burrata plate called 'Peachlata'. Mukuraf also accepts bottle purchases and keg takeout, so the pub works both as a sit-down stop and as a place to bring beer home. It remains a practical choice for drinkers who want to pair a broad beer selection with a proper meal in Shin-Ohashi.
