Beer Pub Ishii starts with four beers, including Shiga Kogen's Mugamuchu
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, updated its Instagram tap list. The post features four starting beers, including Shiga Kogen Beer’s Mugamuchu and Hoppukotan Jozo’s Tanko Mosaic, and also announces the Izakaya AYAYA event on September 14 and 15.
Hop BroBeer Pub Ishii in Sendagi just kicked things off with four fresh taps. When Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'Muga Muchu' is in the opening lineup, that’s a strong start.
MugiWhoa! A strong opener makes it sound like a fighting game roster! So what are the four beers?
Hop BroThey’ve got Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'Muga Muchu,' Hop Kotan Brewing’s 'Tansho Mosaic,' Let's Beer Works’ 'Everyday Hue,' and Ushitora Brewery’s quirky four-pack of a lineup, including 'Looks Bitter but Isn’t, Slightly Bitter Schwarz.'
MugiThat last name has way too much going on! Also, what is Schwarz? Is it just super dark and super bitter?
Hop BroSchwarz means black in German, so it’s basically a dark beer style. It looks deep and serious, but the roasted malt can make it surprisingly smooth and gentle.
MugiNo way! Dark but soft is a wild gap. Then in 'Tansho Mosaic,' is Mosaic a hop name too?
Hop BroThat’s the key part. Mosaic is a hop variety known for tropical fruit-like aroma and citrus nuance, so if you like beers where the hop nose leads, that one should land hard.
MugiWhat! So the lineup really swings from light and hoppy to dark and calm? Pick by your mood is honestly the best kind of menu.
Hop BroExactly. And the waiting list is stacked too: Hansharo Beer’s 'Peach White IPA: Yumemizuki Ver.,' Shiga Kogen Beer’s 'Draft Pale Ale,' and Shingetsu Beer’s 'Double IPA.' That’s basically a preview of the next pour.
MugiHold on, even the teaser lineup is strong!? If 'Izakaya AYAYA' is happening on September 14 and 15 from 17:00 to 22:00, this is a Sendagi meetup mission.
Hop BroThat’s what makes Beer Pub Ishii good: in a quiet neighborhood, you can settle in with food and craft beer, and even the post’s little 'Aiko tomato' note somehow sticks with you. I’m already imagining my first glass.
MugiI’m way past imagining it, my mouth is fully on beer standby now! I want a pint now, and I genuinely can’t decide whether to start with Muga Muchu or finish with the Schwarz.
Beer Pub Ishii, located at 3-45-8 Sendagi in Bunkyo-ku, is known as a neighborhood beer pub where food and craft beer are enjoyed side by side. The latest Instagram post begins with "Aiko tomato" and then lays out the current starting lineup plus beers waiting to be tapped.
The starting beers are Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Mugamuchu," Hoppukotan Jozo’s "Tanko Mosaic," Let’s Beer Works’ "Everyday Hue," and Ushitora Brewery’s "Sour-looking but not bitter, a little bitter Schwarz." The range runs from hop-forward beers to a dark, quieter style, making it easy to choose either a lighter or fuller pint.
Waiting in the wings are Hansharo Beer’s "Peach White IPA ~Yumemizuki Ver.~," Shiga Kogen Beer’s "Draft Pale Ale," and Shingetsu Beer’s "Double IPA." It is a lineup that makes the next pour easy to imagine, from fruit-leaning IPA character to a classic pale ale and a more assertive double IPA.
The post also announces Izakaya AYAYA for September 14 and 15, 2026, from 17:00 to 22:00. It is a very Beer Pub Ishii-style update: a calm neighborhood setting, rotating taps, and an emphasis on pairing beer with food.
