Neko no Shukaijo in Umegaoka highlights ru rou noodles and six draft beers
Craft beer and spice-food bar Neko no Shukaijo in Setagaya’s Umegaoka has brought back its ru rou noodles and published today’s six-beer tap list. The station-adjacent spot pairs food-friendly dishes with a broad draft lineup.
Hop BroNeko no Shuukaijo in Umegaoka just announced lu rou noodles are back along with six beers on tap, and that kind of news hits hard.
MugiWait, 30 seconds from the station and you can get beer and noodles? That's so close I could still hear the train doors closing!
Hop BroExactly. It's a beer pub setup right by Umegaoka Station, with draft pours plus cans and bottles you can drink there or buy to go.
MugiAnd six taps today? My brain already started building a tasting flight. What's on the list?
Hop BroCRAFTROCK has Drink All Day as a Kolsch, Nara Brewing brought TIMMUR as an Amber Lager with Himalayan sansho, Brasserie Knot has BIRD as a Pale Ale and JIRI as a Hazy IPA, and then there's Left Hand's Peanut Butter Milk Stout plus Tsugaru Brewing's Arigato! IPA.
MugiHold on, Kolsch and hazy sound like magic words. Am I ordering beer or opening a portal?
Hop BroKolsch is a top-fermented ale, but it drinks light and crisp, almost like a lager. A Hazy IPA is a cloudy, juicy IPA that leans into hop aroma more than sharp bitterness.
MugiWhat even is a Himalayan sansho lager? Did the beer just cannonball into a spice rack?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. TIMMUR layers that cool sansho lift onto amber malt, and the Peanut Butter Milk Stout brings full dessert energy. The whole lineup jumps from crisp to rich.
MugiAnd on top of that, the noodles are ready again? I can practically smell the article already. What's in the bowl?
Hop BroIt's a simple pork broth with kombu as a hidden accent, rice noodles like the ones used for pho, and plenty of braised pork belly, finished with cilantro and green onion. It's a perfect late-night bowl that works with beer or after beer.
MugiI'm sold. I'll compare JIRI and TIMMUR, then dive straight into the noodles. If there are three draft sizes, this works for a first stop or the grand finale!
Hop BroI'm starting with Drink All Day, following it with noodles, and maybe finishing on Arigato! IPA. With to-go draft cups available too, I already want to head to Umegaoka and drink.
