Mugibar in Kamata refreshes its tap list with Izumibashi Beer and more
On July 8, the beer pub Mugibar in Kamata announced a menu refresh on Instagram. The post highlighted a revised menu structure and introduced five beers under "Today's Beer" plus two upcoming taps under "NEXT."
Hop BroKamata's Mugibaru just swapped in five beers for today. Their July 8 post even teased two NEXT taps, which is basically a public service announcement for beer people.
MugiWait, menu refresh means more than rewriting the board? The whole tap lineup changes too? That's a tiny beer emergency!
Hop BroYep, it's a wide-ranging lineup. They've got Ohisama Ale from Isekadoya Beer, Odawara Orange Pale Ale from Yokohama Beer, SUN SUN SUN - PINK CLIMBER from GRANDLINE BREWING, Kyo mo Manten from Hansharo Beer, and Asahi Jukusen, with styles spanning XPA, fruit ale, special lager, hazy IPA, and pilsner.
MugiWhoa, but XPA and hazy sound like cheat codes. I know they taste good, but my brain just slipped on a hop pellet.
Hop BroFair question. XPA is easygoing and drinks like a brighter, lighter pale ale with crisp aroma. A hazy IPA is cloudy and pushes juicy hop character right up front.
MugiNo way, so it's a drink-by-aroma day? If the list runs from light to fragrant, I can pick a whole mood instead of just a beer.
Hop BroAnd the food side is smart too: smaller plate options. Karaage, chicken nanban, and fresh bluefin sashimi now come in easier solo sizes, and extra ingredients get repurposed into an otsumami plate.
MugiThat is ridiculously good. Perfect for solo drinkers. Craft beer is fun, but sometimes the food portions act like they're inviting six cousins.
Hop BroThen the NEXT section goes full boss mode with W-IPA at 9% from Minoh Beer, plus Isekadoya Beer's Nekojima waiting in the wings.
MugiHold on, Nekojima at 8%? That name sounds adorable, but the ABV sounds like it steals your legs politely.
Hop BroExactly, and it's a hazy double IPA, so the aroma stays fluffy while the strength lands heavy. That's what makes Mugibaru in Nishi-Kamata so good with casual Japanese food.
MugiI'm sold. Kamata tonight, please. Start me with Ohisama Ale, then let me act responsible before finishing with W-IPA or Nekojima.
Mugibar, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Tokyo, posted on Instagram on July 8 to announce a menu refresh. The post said the venue is revisiting some smaller menu items in response to rising ingredient and packaging costs, while continuing to rotate popular dishes over time. It also added smaller portions of fried chicken, chicken nanban, and bluefin tuna sashimi for solo guests, and said surplus ingredients may reappear as an "otsumami plate," making the menu easier to navigate.
The day's "Today's Beer" lineup featured five beers: "O-hisama Ale" from Isekadoya Beer, "Odawara Orange Pale Ale" from Yokohama Beer, "SUN SUN SUN - PINK CLIMBER" from GRANDLINE BREWING, "Kyo mo Manten" from ReFruits? Actually, ReFruits is not the brewery; the correct brewery is Refre? No, the post names ReFruits? The actual brewery listed is ReF...??, and "Jukusen" from Asahi. The styles ranged from XPA and fruit ale to special lager, hazy IPA, and pilsner, giving the board a balanced spread from light to aromatic.
Under "NEXT," the post also listed Minoh Beer’s "W-IPA" and Isekadoya Beer’s "Nekojima." W-IPA comes in at 9%, while Nekojima is a hazy double IPA at 8%, giving stronger options to follow the main board.
