Hop BroMOONRISE KINGDOM in West Shinjuku just posted a summer-ready three-tap lineup for June 24. It has BLACK TIDE brewing's Tohoku Pride - IPL, Shiga Kogen Beer's Italian style pilsner, and Oni Densetsu's Kin Oni Pale Ale.
MugiWhat! In West Shinjuku? Those names already sound stacked, and the whole list feels like a direct attack on hot-weather self-control!
Hop BroThe nice part is that all three feel light but still distinct. Tohoku Pride - IPL brings hop aroma, the Italian style pilsner brings snap, and Kin Oni Pale Ale looks strong on drinking balance.
MugiHold on, what is IPL? Is that just IPA with one letter trying to be fancy? It sounds like a pop quiz!
Hop BroThat one letter matters. IPL means India Pale Lager: you get IPA-like hop aroma with a lager-like crisp finish, basically a hoppy lager hybrid.
MugiOhhh! So it's expressive but not heavy. Perfect for hot days. I would absolutely put that in the easy-drinking hall of fame!
Hop BroExactly, and Shiga Kogen's Italian style pilsner fits that mood too. It should have a clean bitter edge and lifted aroma, and with Kin Oni Pale Ale in the mix, you get a wide aroma range across the lineup.
MugiAnd the food list is birria tacos, fish tacos, the MOONRISE burrito, garlic shrimp, and arrabbiata? That's a full-on Mexican flavor festival. My stomach is now officially involved!
Hop BroThe post also leans into pairing them with spicy food, which is exactly right. At Tenku MURA 1F, it sounds like a place that works from lunch through dinner and still nails a post-work first pint.
MugiSo we're clearly going, right? I want a three-beer flight with tacos in one hand, and you definitely already picked your first pour.
Hop BroObviously. I'd start with Tohoku Pride - IPL, move to the Italian style pilsner, then finish on Kin Oni Pale Ale. That's a perfect drinking route.
MugiThat is way too convincing. Add birria tacos and I'm calling it tonight's winning plan.

In the post, the shop highlights a pairing of refreshing craft beer with spice-forward Mexican food, and also notes that the beers work well with IPA- and lager-style drinking. The selection leans toward crisp, easy-drinking options while still giving room for aroma and hop character.
Recommended food includes birria tacos, fish tacos, MOONRISE burrito, garlic shrimp, and arrabbiata. That makes the pub a good fit for diners who want to build a meal around beer rather than treat it as an afterthought.
MOONRISE KINGDOM is located on the first floor of Tenku MURA in Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo. The post also points to a wider bottle selection alongside the draft taps, making it a practical stop for both a quick pint and a longer meal with tacos or burritos.
