P-144×Citraba in Ikebukuro lists six craft beers, adds a seasonal eggplant snack
On July 5, Ikebukuro beer pub P-144×Citraba shared its tap lineup featuring six craft beers, led by Sierra Nevada. The post also introduced a new seasonal dish with Japanese eggplant, cured ham, and cottage cheese.
Hop BroThe spot catching my eye in Ikebukuro today is P-144 x Citra Bar, and they’ve got six craft beers on, including Sierra Nevada.
MugiWhat! Sierra Nevada on tap already sounds serious, and there are six of them? I’m ready to kneel in front of the taps.
Hop BroThe best part is the easy side-by-side lineup: from PILS by Sierra Nevada, an American Pilsner, all the way to Kyoto Brewing’s 'Natsu no Kimagure 2026,' a Session IPA.
MugiWhoa, but Session IPA means what exactly? It sounds less like beer and more like mandatory club practice.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a lighter IPA: you still get the hoppy aroma, but at ABV 4.5% it goes down nice and easy.
MugiHold on, you dropped ABV 4.5% like that was normal, but that acronym just sprinted past me!
Hop BroABV just means alcohol content, and as it climbs you get into the serious hop zone like Shiga Kogen IPA at 6.0% and Minoh Beer’s W-IPA at 8.0%.
MugiNo way, and Shekina Kome Be is such a name. Since it’s a Japanese Rice Lager, is it the crisp-and-clean type? I might order it just for the title.
Hop BroExactly, it makes you expect that Japanese Rice Lager crispness, and they’ve also got Citras on the Rock, a lager from CRAFTROCK BREWING. Then they bring out mizunasu and nama nam with cottage cheese.
MugiI’m done for. Once you say cottage cheese pairing, I fully want a drink. If they’re open from 11:30 to 23:30, I want to get to Ikebukuro before the July 6 day off.
Hop BroThen we start with Sierra Nevada’s PILS to wake up the palate and finish with the W-IPA. That’s how you use a place that runs from lunch to late night.
MugiThat plan is perfect! I want to conquer all six taps, but first somebody hand me beer number one immediately!
