Mugibal in Kamata hints at extending its summer salt-dare pork kimchi and lists eight drafts
Mugibal, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Tokyo, says its summer-only salt-dare pork kimchi may continue beyond the season. The post also highlights eight draft beers from Japanese craft breweries and Asahi.
Hop BroMugibaru in Kamata has a good update today. Summer special may stay on the menu, and they’re also pouring eight draft beers.
MugiWait, a seasonal dish that might stick around? Salt-sauce pork kimchi sounds like it already earned a permanent contract!
Hop BroThe featured pairing is the fun part. They’re matching Isekadoya Bakushu Anti-Gravity with that pork kimchi, building a proper food-and-beer combo.
MugiAnti-Gravity is such a dramatic name! But what is this layering beer with food thing? Are we doing physics now?
Hop BroIt sounds fancy, but it just means beer as a meal partner. The salt and spice from the dish get lifted by aroma, bitterness, and carbonation.
MugiOhhh, so the eight taps are part of the plan. Mata Ashita Hazy IPA already sounds soft, juicy, and a little dangerous!
Hop BroExactly. On now are Y.Market’s hazy IPA, North Island’s I.P.A, Isekadoya’s Meyer Lemon Radler, COEDO’s Marihana, and Asahi’s Jukusen, so the range goes from easygoing to firmly bitter.
MugiHold on, what is a radler? Please tell me it’s a beer style and not some weird bike equipment.
Hop BroIt’s a lighter, citrusy direction for beer, and this one leans on Meyer lemon. Then there’s the NEXT lineup with Hysteric IPA and friends, plus Nbanana! Honey Golden Ale and FRESH HOP IPA, so the variety stays wide.
MugiHaving that near Kamata West Exit is just unfair. I want a pint now, and I want the pork kimchi beside it for the full tasting mission!
Mugibal, a beer pub in Nishi-Kamata, Ota City, Tokyo, posted on August 30 that its summer-only salt-dare pork kimchi has been so well received that it may stay on after summer. The post also notes a common restaurant challenge: if a dish stays on the menu, sales can sometimes drop.
The pairing for the day was Anti-Gravity from Ise Kadoya Beer with the pork kimchi. It is a straightforward, beer-friendly food and drink setup that fits the pub’s casual craft-beer style. The shop sits in the Kamata West Exit area, making it an easy stop for a local beer break.
Mugibal also shared a concrete draft lineup. The current taps include Mata Ashita Hazy IPA (Y Market Brewing), I.P.A (North Island Beer), Meyer Lemon Radler (Ise Kadoya Beer), Marihana (COEDO), and Jukusen (Asahi). The next beers up are Hysteric IPA (Y Market Brewing), Nbanana! Honey Golden Ale (Hansharo Beer), and FRESH HOP IPA (Sankt Gallen). The range spans hazy IPA, radler, golden ale, and more, giving the pub a broad Japanese craft-beer lineup.
