Hop BroBEER HUNTING URAWA in Kita-Urawa tapped four fresh kegs on July 10. They're open from 5:00 to 11:30 p.m., and this lineup is perfect for a post-work pint.
MugiWhat! On the second floor in Kita-Urawa? And they brought in Karuizawa Q plus two Shiga Kogen beers? That's way too tempting for a detour!
Hop BroFirst up, Lazy Afternoon from Karuizawa Q is a 5.5% saison, light on its feet and easy to pair with food.
MugiWhoa, but what even is saison? It sounds like a fancy candle brand!
Hop BroIn simple terms, saison is light and dry, with a crisp finish and a little spicy character, so it's super easy to drink.
MugiOkay, that sounds like a great opener! And KOURO with its gentle 3.5% feels very kind to my liver today.
Hop BroKOURO from Brasserie Knot is an English mild ale, so think calm malt flavor and soft sweetness instead of big hop fireworks.
MugiHold on, Yuru Blue spelt is a hazy wheat IPA? That is way too many descriptors for one glass!
Hop BroHazy means cloudy, wheat brings softness, and spelt is an old grain, so the short version is soft and juicy IPA energy.
MugiGot it! Then Shiga Kogen's Sono Ju is a 7.5% imperial IPA, basically the final boss of the lineup!
Hop BroExactly. Start with the saison, move into the hoppier beers, and slide in some fried food for a perfect drinking arc. Food last call is 10:00 p.m., drinks are 10:30, and honestly I'm thirsty already.
MugiI'm done for, I want a pint now. This BEER HUNTING URAWA lineup goes from easygoing to full boss battle, and I want the whole run!
On Thursday, July 10, BEER HUNTING URAWA operated from 17:00 to 23:30, with food last orders at 22:00 and drinks last orders at 22:30. As a second-floor beer pub in Kita-Urawa, it is the kind of place that works both for a quick stop after work and for a longer meal-focused session.
The shop introduced four new taps for the day:
- Lazy Afternoon / Karuizawa Q (Nagano)
Saison / ABV 5.5%
- KOURO / Brasserie Knot (Hokkaido)
English mild ale / ABV 3.5%
- Yuru-Buru spelt / Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano)
Hazy wheat IPA / ABV 4.5%
- Sono Juu / Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano)
Imperial IPA / ABV 7.5%
The appeal of this lineup is its range. "Lazy Afternoon" offers a lighter saison option, "KOURO" brings a malt-driven mild ale, "Yuru-Buru spelt" adds a hazy wheat IPA, and "Sono Juu" gives the list a stronger imperial IPA finish. The post also suggested fried dishes as a good match for the day’s beers, so starting with something easy-drinking like a pilsner or golden ale before moving into hop-forward options would make sense.
For drinkers tracking the day-to-day rotation of taps, this was a balanced and beer-geek-friendly update from a neighborhood pub with a clear focus on freshness and variety.
