Mukuraf highlights bottle beers and seven taps on June 24
Mukuraf in Morishita, Koto-ku, Tokyo posted its June 24 service note with no new tap openings, but a full bottle lineup and seven draft beers. The bar also welcomes bottle-only visits and has plenty of seating.
Hop BroMukuraf in Morishita put out a June 24 service update, and it has a great low-key feel. No new taps today, but that just means it's a day to really enjoy what's already there.
MugiWait, no new keg and it's still news? But that ominously dim Wednesday vibe sounds like the trailer for a very drinkable movie!
Hop BroThat's exactly why it's good. There are seven taps in play, ranging from Asahi Jukusen Pilsner to Shiga Kogen's Yuru Blue Spelt Hazy Wheat IPA, Hansharo's Kyo mo Manten Hazy IPA, and Nomcraft's Solar Phantom.
MugiHold on, Hazy Wheat IPA is a real thing? Hazy, wheat, and IPA all in one sounds like a beer with way too many job titles!
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. It's an IPA with haze and the softness of wheat, so the shortcut is soft and juicy. Big aroma, gentler bitterness, and easier for newer craft beer drinkers to get into.
MugiOhhh, that actually sounds great! And Hansharo's Kyo mo Manten already has peak happiness energy just from the name alone.
Hop BroThe bottle list is strong too. VERTERE brings Passiflora#48 Hazy IPA, Achillea#1 West Coast IPA, Galanthus#3 Dark Ale, Benitoa#8 Belgian Blonde Ale, and Vespa Mango Sour. That's a five-beer VERTERE run.
MugiWhat is this lineup, an all-star roster? If GOODHOPS also has Do Good IPA, Ginga no Hoppubatake Saison, and Tono Belgian IPA, then the bottle shelf is a festival.
Hop BroAnd then you add West Coast Brewing's The Lupulin Tree Hazy DIPA and Passion Wizard, plus Green Neighbor Hard Cider's CITRUS with CALAMANSI and LA FRANCE. That's serious fridge range right there.
MugiAnd you can drop in just for bottles too, right? Even with a typhoon creeping closer, that's dangerously convenient for a quick stop.
Hop BroThen throw in gyujiru, grilled zucchini, and smoked salmon butter mousse, and my thirst is fully open for business. I'd start with Yuru Blue Spelt.
MugiI'm going Suika Wheat first, then VERTERE's Vespa after that! With taps and bottles this strong at Mukuraf, let's go drink right now!
Beer lineup
Mukuraf’s June 24 post frames the day as a quiet, slightly gloomy Wednesday, but the beer list is anything but sparse.
On tap, the lineup includes Asahi’s “Jukusen” Pilsner, Sanktgallen’s “Suika Wheat” Fruits WheatAle, Shiga Kogen Beer’s “Yuru Blue Spelt” Hazy Wheat IPA, Hansharo Beer’s “Kyo mo Manten” Hazy IPA, KaruizawaQ’s “Shako” American IPA, TAROS BREWING’s “ONENESS-DOLCITA,” and Nomcraft’s “Solar Phantom” Hazy IPA.
The bottle selection is broad as well: VERTERE’s “Passiflora#48” Hazy IPA, “Achillea#1” West Coast IPA, “Galanthus#3” Dark Ale, “Benitoa#8” Belgian Blonde Ale, and “Vespa” Mango Sour; GOODHOPS’ “Do Good” IPA, “Gin no Hop Batake” Saison, “Tono Belgian IPA,” “Tasogare no Cascade” IPA, and “Tono no Kaze” IPA; plus WestCoastBrewing’s “The Lupulin Tree” Hazy DIPA and “PassionWizard,” and GreenNeighborHardCider’s “CITRUSwithCALAMANSI” and “LA FRANCE.”
The appeal here is straightforward: a beer-first pub with room to sit, a bottle list you can browse, and food such as beef soup, grilled zucchini, and smoked salmon butter mousse that naturally fits the pours. For drinkers who want to spend some time comparing tap beer with bottle releases, Mukuraf is an easy stop.
