A collaborative hazy pale ale in Hatagaya
Yakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi is featuring “Guruguru Meguru” from AMAKUSA SONAR BEER. The beer is part of a triple collaboration involving Totopia Brewery and the PYRAMID GARDEN SIDE BAR at FUJI ROCK FESTIVAL ’26. Each brewery brewed the same recipe, with this pour representing the AMAKUSA version.
Classified as a DDH Hazy Pale Ale, “Guruguru Meguru” is built around layered hop aroma while keeping the palate relatively dry and easy to drink. It is described as having a grapefruit-like bitterness and a silky mouthfeel, offering hop character without becoming excessively heavy.
That balance makes the beer a natural candidate for yakiniku. Its bitterness and dry finish can refresh the palate between bites, while the soft texture should sit comfortably alongside grilled meat. It may appeal to drinkers looking for the aromatic character of a hazy beer with enough crispness for a meal.
Located in Shibuya’s Hatagaya neighborhood, Yakiniku Stand Niku to Mugi operates as a beer pub serving Japanese yakiniku alongside craft beer and natural wine. The venue also features guest beers from a range of breweries, making it a useful stop for drinkers who enjoy exploring different brewery profiles with food.
