Mukuraf in Tokyo adds Shiga Kogen’s Muga Mucchu and two more fresh taps
Mukuraf, a beer pub in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo, posted a tap update on August 19 and highlighted three new draft beers for the day. The lineup features Shiga Kogen Beer, Nomcraft and KaruizawaQ, alongside a broader bottle selection and takeout options.
Hop BroMukuraf has a strong update today, with three fresh taps landing at once and a lineup that feels built for summer.
MugiWhat! And Mukuraf is the kind of place with plenty of open seats, right? Three new beers and room to settle in sounds dangerous.
Hop BroFirst up is Shiga Kogen Beer’s Mugamuchu Hazy IIPA, with grapefruit and hassaku citrus layered over peach and pineapple-like tropical notes.
MugiHold on, what even is a Hazy IIPA? That name alone sounds like it could knock my socks off.
Hop BroHazy means cloudy and juicy, and IIPA means a bigger IPA, so basically you get more aroma, more body in the glass.
MugiOoh! Then what kind of spell is Nomcraft’s Green Magic? Does it make two extra versions of you appear behind the bar?
Hop BroThat would be operationally bad. Green Magic uses Mosaic, Citra, and Cascade hops, so the core is juicy citrus with a piney edge.
MugiNo way, that sounds like a list of hop spells! So it blasts citrus first, then sneaks in that foresty aroma after?
Hop BroExactly. Then KaruizawaQ’s Ann Fruit Ale uses Harcot apricots from Chikuma in Nagano, giving it a soft mouthfeel and bright, refreshing acidity.
MugiApricot beer too? The second I heard soft mouthfeel, my brain started taking imaginary first sips.
Hop BroAnd Mukuraf also has takeout and bottle options, plus food like zucchini quiche, basashi, and roasted magret de canard, so I already want a pint.
MugiSame here, I’m fully convinced. Put Mugamuchu and Ann side by side and I’m ready to drink the heat away.
Mukuraf in Shin-Ohashi, Koto Ward, Tokyo shared a Wednesday update on Instagram, saying service was back after a long break and that seats were plentiful. The post centers on three newly connected draft beers and a tap board built for warm weather.
New drafts
- Shiga Kogen Beer: Muga Mucchu Hazy IIPA
- Nomcraft: Green Magic Hazy IPA
- KaruizawaQ: Ann Fruit Ale with apricot
Muga Mucchu is described as a juicy Hazy IIPA with grapefruit, hassaku citrus, peach and pineapple notes. Green Magic leans into Mosaic, Citra and Cascade hops for bright citrus, tropical fruit and pine. Ann uses apricot from Chikuma, Nagano, and brings a soft body with a crisp, refreshing acidity.
What else is pouring
- Asahi Breweries: Jukusen Pilsner
- Hansharo Beer: Peach White IPA Yume Mizuki
- Oni Densetsu: Shin Oni Gunso IPA
- Bottle beers from VERTERE, West Coast Brewing and GOODHOPS
Mukuraf also notes bottle-only sales and keg takeout, so it works both as a stop-in pub and a place to grab beer to go. The food list is equally beer-friendly, with zucchini quiche, a chilled wakame-and-cucumber soup, horse sashimi and roast goose among the day’s dishes.
