Mugibaru in Kamata pours Ise Kadoya's Meyer Lemon Radler, with Shiga Kogen IPA on tap
Mugibaru, a beer pub in Kamata, Tokyo, has posted its latest tap list on Instagram. The lineup includes Ise Kadoya's Meyer Lemon Radler, Shiga Kogen Beer, Y.Market Brewing, and other Japanese craft labels.
Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata just posted a stacked tap update. The star is ISEKADOYA Brewery’s Meyer Lemon Radler, and they’ve even got Shiga Kogen Beer’s Mugamuchu on.
MugiWait, Meyer Lemon Radler already sounds like summer in a glass. Is a radler beer or lemonade?
Hop BroThat’s the fun of it, it’s basically a beer-with-citrus mix. This ISEKADOYA one is 4%, bright and lemony, so it’s perfect for the first pint.
MugiNo way, 4% sounds safe and then the name walks in dressed fancier than every lemon sour I’ve ever met.
Hop BroThen there’s Shiga Kogen’s Mugamuchu, a Hazy IPA at 7.5%. Cloudy look, big hop aroma, very much a go-for-it beer.
MugiHold on, what even is hazy? It sounds less like beer and more like a weather report!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s a cloudy-looking IPA. Less about sharp bitterness, more about soft texture and juicy hop aroma.
MugiOkay, then Y.MARKET Brewing’s Project DIPA with w-IPA at 8% is the final boss version?
Hop BroThat’s basically right. A double-strength IPA hits harder on both aroma and alcohol, and the NEXT list with Hysteric IPA, Mata Ashita Hazy IPA, and North Island’s I.P.A. is just unfair.
MugiAnd they even have a four-snack plate plus dog-friendly seating? That’s not a pub, that’s training camp for drinkers.
Hop BroExactly, and with COEDO’s Marihana and Asahi Jukusen there too, it’s easy for mixed tastes. You can start light and still slide straight into hop territory.
MugiThe banana to yellow to lemon to radler intro is so goofy I love it. Tonight I’m ready for a first round in Kamata that turns into the whole night at Mugibaru.

Mugibaru positions itself as a relaxed beer pub where a wide range of styles can be enjoyed in one stop. The post also notes that dogs are welcome, and an assorted four-item snack plate appears alongside the beers. That makes the bar easy to use for both a first pint and a tasting session across styles, from citrusy radler to hop-forward IPA and easy-drinking pilsner.
The playful Instagram caption uses a banana-to-lemon chain of associations to introduce the Meyer Lemon Radler, but the tap list itself is serious business: a strong mix of hazy, West Coast-leaning, citrus-forward, and classic lager options.
