Marumugi in Shinjuku posts its June 22 tap lineup
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 22 craft beer lineup. The list spans Y.MARKET, Shiga Kogen, fruit-driven wheat beers, and a malt-forward altbier, giving regulars a compact but varied set of choices.
Hop BroArakicho looks especially good today. On the June 22 taps, Marumugi has five beers lined up, with Y.MARKET and Shiga Kogen in the mix.
MugiWhat! Just hearing five pours at Marumugi already hooks me, and those names sound like an all-star roster!
Hop BroThe opener I'd watch is Y.MARKET BREWING's 12 DA CAPO. At 4.5%, it's light and easy, the kind of beer that smoothly leads you into the next glass.
MugiWait, leads into the next? Is this beer running a relay? Because my throat did not train for that!
Hop BroNot a relay, but kind of the same idea. It isn't heavy and it won't tire your palate, so it drinks like a session-leaning beer.
MugiNo way, session-leaning makes it sound like the beer showed up carrying a guitar and joined a band!
Hop BroThen Shiga Kogen Beer's No.10 IPA steps in. It's 7.5% and definitely strong, but it still feels brisk, which is the fun part.
MugiStrong but brisk? That's all power, all speed. IPAs keep acting fresh while secretly being gym monsters!
Hop BroIf you want citrus, you've got Mojiko Retro Beer's Shiranui Weizen and Baird's Shizuoka Summer Mikan Ale. The Shiranui brings soft citrus and wheaty depth together.
MugiHold on, what is Weizen? It sounds like a spell, but if it's a tasty spell I'm listening!
Hop BroWeizen is a wheat-beer style, so it tends to feel soft and fluffy on the palate. Add Shonan Beer's elegant Alt richness, and the food-pairing setup gets really solid.
MugiOhhh, I get it now. Whether you want bright citrus or mellow malt, that's a proper meal-beer lineup right there!
Hop BroAnd it's only three minutes from Yotsuya-sanchome, open 6 p.m. to midnight. The July 4 storytelling event is booked out, but tonight's list still screams first drink tonight.
MugiThat's it, I'm sold! With citrus to rich malt all lined up, I want to wake up with 12 DA CAPO and finish slow with the Alt!
Today's lineup
Marumugi, a beer pub in Arakicho, Shinjuku, published its June 22 tap list. The pricing is set at ¥1,200+ for large pours and ¥900+ for small pours, with a lineup of five beers that each bring a distinct profile.
The beers on tap are "12 DA CAPO" from Y.MARKET BREWING (Aichi), "其の十 / NO.10 IPA" from Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano), "天草 不知火ヴァイツェン" from Mojiko Retro Beer (Fukuoka), "静岡サマーみかんエール" from Baird Brewing (Shizuoka), and "アルト" from Shonan Beer (Kanagawa).
"12 DA CAPO" is a 4.5% beer that reads as an easygoing opener, the sort of pint that naturally leads to another round. "其の十 / NO.10 IPA" is a stronger 7.5% IPA, but the shop describes it as powerful and light at the same time.
For bright citrus notes, the fruit wheat beer "天草 不知火ヴァイツェン" and the summer-themed "静岡サマーみかんエール" are the clearest picks. The former leans on the gentle aroma of Japanese dekopon and soft wheat character, while the latter pushes a lively summer-mikan freshness. "アルト" rounds out the list with a refined malt profile that should work well with food.
Marumugi is a small beer bar on the second floor of Ichibankan Building in Arakicho, Shinjuku. It is a short walk from Yotsuya-Sanchome Station and is open from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. Since December 5, 2024, it has been closed on Tuesdays and public holidays.
