Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Tokyo updates its taps with Minamichita Blood Orange IPA and Wolf Chop now on tap
The tap list at Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, has been refreshed. Y.MARKET BREWING's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" and BREW CLASSIC's "Wolf Chop" are newly on tap, creating a lineup that lets you enjoy fruit-forward IPAs and hazy styles widely on draft and in bottles.
Hop BroThe taps at Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Tokyo, have been updated. This time, Minamichita Blood Orange IPA and Wolf Chop have just been opened, and the lineup is seriously tempting.
MugiWhoa! Blood Orange IPA already sounds delicious! And Wolf Chop sounds kind of like a meat-eater's beer, so intense!
Hop BroMinamichita Blood Orange IPA is a fruit-forward American IPA with Y.MARKET BREWING's playful style. The aroma of blood orange and the bitterness of the hops really work together.
MugiWork together with hops!? Wait, are hops difficult to get along with? Hearing American IPA suddenly makes it sound like a textbook term!
Hop BroSimply put, American-style IPAs tend to put hop aroma front and center. When you add blood orange to that, the citrus outline becomes much clearer.
MugiI see! So what kind of beer is Wolf Chop? The name sounds fierce, but the description says it's soft and mellow, which is such a gap!
Hop BroBREW CLASSIC's Wolf Chop is a Wheat IPA, and the key point is the way the softness of wheat malt and yeast is layered with citrus notes that evoke lychee and pink grapefruit.
MugiLychee and pink grapefruit!? It already wins on aroma before you even drink it. And Mukuraf's tap range is seriously broad, isn't it?
Hop BroThat's the good part. They have everything from Sankt Gallen's Whey Sour Strawberry to Shiga Kogen Beer’s SNOW MONKEY IPA and TWO RABBITS’ Sagi HOPJUICE, so it's a lineup that makes side-by-side tasting fun.
MugiAnd they even have West Coast Brewing and Sierra Nevada on bottles! I'm in the mood for IPA today, but maybe a plan to take a break with a pils halfway through is a good idea!
Hop BroExactly. And since they also have meatballs with mashed potatoes and mentaiko and rock nori spaghetti, the fun of eating while drinking is huge too. This is definitely a place to compare beers in Shin-Ohashi.
MugiIt's settled! Today at Mukuraf, let's start with the Blood Orange IPA, then Wolf Chop, and then the food too, on the way to one more drink!
Tap Update
At Mukuraf, the beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto-ku, Tokyo, the tap list has been updated. In the post, two new beers on tap were introduced: Y.MARKET BREWING's "Minamichita Blood Orange IPA" and BREW CLASSIC's "Wolf Chop." The former is presented as an American IPA that brings out blood orange character to the fullest, while the latter is introduced as a Wheat IPA that layers citrus notes reminiscent of lychee and pink grapefruit over the softness of wheat malt and yeast.
What You Can Drink Now
On draft that day were Sankt Gallen's "Whey Sour Strawberry," Iwate Kura Beer’s "Sakura Arashi IPA," Minoh Beer’s "Blooming IPA," Shiga Kogen Beer’s "SNOW MONKEY IPA," and TWO RABBITS’ "Sagi HOPJUICE." The lineup ranges from sour beers to IPAs and hop-juice-style beers, making it easy to compare each glass's character.
On the bottle side, West Coast Brewing's "FullHopAlchemistv29," "Hop Fua," "Time Slip," "Starwatcher," "Alive," and "Slow Motion," as well as Sierra Nevada's "Cosmic Little Thing" and "Pils," were also confirmed. It works well both for people who want to enjoy the strong aroma of West Coast-style beers and for those who want to slot in a light pilsner along the way.
Pairing With Food
In addition to beer, Mukuraf also offers a solid food menu, including meatballs with mashed potatoes, mentaiko and rock nori spaghetti, and corn mousse. From hop-forward IPAs to fruit-driven sours and West Coast-style bottles, it is easy to keep drinking while pairing with food, which is one of this shop's strengths. It is a good place for a relaxed tasting session in Tokyo during cherry blossom season, with the updated taps as the centerpiece.
