Marumugi in Arakicho posts its July 3 tap list with four taps in service
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its beer lineup for July 3. The list features COEDO, TWO RABBITS BREWING, Mojiko Retro Beer, and Shonan Beer, while a next-day event for an original beer unveiling is also announced.
Hop BroToday, Jibeer Bar Marumugi in Arakicho, Shinjuku dropped its July 3 tap list, and for a 4-tap night, it is surprisingly stacked.
MugiWait, 4 taps only and you are calling it stacked? That sounds like a speedrun for indecisive people!
Hop BroThey are prepping for an event, so it is a four-beer showdown, and COEDO’s Aoheki -AO- is a 5.5% Cold IPA with crisp bite and popping hops.
MugiHold on, Cold IPA sounds like iced-noodle logic. What does that even mean?
Hop BroIt is basically an IPA built for a lighter finish, so you still get hop punch but the aftertaste snaps off clean, which is perfect for summer.
MugiOoh! Then TWO RABBITS BREWING’s KIWI IPA... is that actually kiwi fruit, or is the name trolling me?
Hop BroNo trolling, that means full NZ hop tropicals; at 6.0% it pushes those juicy southern-fruit aromas right to the front.
MugiWhat is this lineup! Amakusa Shiranui Weizen is in there too, so now citrus and wheat are stampeding through my brain.
Hop BroAnd Shonan Beer’s Alt 5.0% is the anchor, with elegant malt depth that pairs with food and settles your palate after the hop fireworks.
MugiThat balance is ridiculous! And July 4 has an original beer debut plus a Kodan performance of Yotsuya Kaidan? That is not a bar stop, that is a full plan!
Hop BroExactly, and even the crossed-out THUNDERSTRUCK IPA matters, because that sansho-and-hop concept sounds wild enough to make lineup changes part of the fun.
MugiThen it is settled: let’s start with today’s four taps at Marumugi and warm up properly for tomorrow’s spooky beer night!
Today’s lineup
Marumugi, the small beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, posted its beer menu for July 3. Pricing is listed at JPY 1,200+ for a large pour and JPY 900+ for a small pour. Because the team is preparing for an event, the bar says it is operating with four taps today.
The lineup includes COEDO’s "Ao-AO" from Saitama at 5.5% ABV with a JPY 100 surcharge, TWO RABBITS BREWING’s "KIWI IPA" from Shiga at 6.0% ABV with a JPY 100 surcharge, Mojiko Retro Beer’s "Amakusa Shiranui Weizen" from Fukuoka at 5.0% ABV with a JPY 100 surcharge, and Shonan Beer’s "Alt" from Kanagawa at 5.0% ABV. Each beer is described on the post: Ao-AO is a crisp cold IPA with lively hop character, KIWI IPA leans into tropical New Zealand hops, the Shiranui Weizen is bright and citrusy, and Alt is presented as a food-friendly beer with a refined malt richness.
The post also mentions "THUNDERSTRUCK IPA" by Repubrew × open air brewing from Shizuoka at 5.5% ABV, although it appears struck through in the menu. With its peppery and hop-driven concept, it stands out as the most distinctive beer on the list, even if it is not part of the active tap setup.
Marumugi opened in 2011 and sits in Arakicho, about a three-minute walk from Yotsuya-Sanchome Station. As a compact neighborhood beer bar, it offers a range that moves comfortably from hop-forward IPAs to a malt-driven Alt, making it a place where drinkers can match the beer to the mood or the meal.
Next-day event
The bar also announces an event for July 4: an original beer unveiling produced by rakugo storyteller Kanda Yonomaru, paired with a performance of "Yotsuya Kaidan." The venue is Marumugi itself. With the next day's program in view, July 3 is a good time to focus on the current taps first and then look ahead to what comes next.
