MugiPeach and IPA together? That sounds like a world tour in one night!
Hop BroThe highlight is Minoh Beer’s Japanese Peach Weizen, Shimizu Hakuto version. At 5.0%, it has juicy peach aromas and a dry finish.
MugiDoes Weizen taste like peach juice? And what exactly is a dry finish?
Hop BroDry means the sweetness does not linger; it finishes crisp. So it is peachy yet food-friendly—a very elegant trick.
MugiElegant peach magic, got it! I want to try bright aroma, crisp sip with dinner.
Hop BroFor hop fans, Ushitorа Brewery’s Old-School Hop Star IPA☆ is essential. It is 6.5% and celebrates a classic IPA-like hop character.
MugiA hop star sounds like a beer idol! “Nostalgic but new” makes me curious, even if IPA bitterness scares me a little.
Hop BroIPA puts hop aroma and bitterness center stage. Repubrew’s NO LEMON LAGER, meanwhile, uses lemongrass rather than lemon, giving it a spiced-tea-like note.
MugiNot lemon, but called NO LEMON LAGER? I love that! A lemongrass-scented lager is exactly the kind of surprise I would order.
Hop BroFor mellow sweetness and toastiness, try COEDO’s Beniaka sweet-potato beer at 7.0%. Then finish with Ise Kadoya’s 5.0% ESB, balancing depth and a clean snap.
MugiPeach, sweet potato, hops, lemongrass, and English-style maltiness—what a lineup! Large ¥1,300, small ¥1,000 means we should sample them all. Let’s toast at Marumugi after 6!
