Mugi Baru

From the bustling Kamata Station downtown, proceed to the calm Kogakuin-dori, and then to the even quieter Onnazuka-dori, where you'll find 'Mugibaru' with its warm lights.
Like a secret hideaway, it's the perfect place to drop by during a walk with your dog.
It's truly a peaceful retreat for dog lovers, where you can relax to your heart's content.

Step inside, and Kinako-chan, the shop dog, will greet you with a lively 'Welcome!'
Her joy and welcome are so overflowing that you might even find yourself exclaiming in delight.
During business hours, she cutely watches over the restaurant from her favorite basket, bringing healing and smiles to visitors.

Dogs allowed inside! The bright and clean interior features warm wooden tables and chairs, creating a relaxed atmosphere, almost like a secret base.
It's a special space where you can relax to your heart's content with your beloved dog.

First, upon seating, your dog will receive a special service from the dog-loving chef.
Dogs who cooperate with an Instagram photo shoot will receive a complimentary serving of the chef's proud natural bluefin tuna (boiled), prepared with care! It's so delicious that every dog goes crazy for it, and they're said to eat it with great joy.
Yume also seemed to enjoy it!

At Mugibaru, the owner, with over 20 years of chef experience, combines his cultivated skills and deep passion for craft beer to offer a carefully selected variety of craft beers not found elsewhere, along with exquisite Japanese cuisine that perfectly complements them.
The flavorful dishes feature the owner's unique touches throughout, making each glass of beer even more special.

Indispensable at Mugibaru is the restaurant's signature craft beer.
Since opening, the chef has partnered with 21 breweries, offering a remarkable 135 varieties of craft beer.
Several types of domestic craft beer* are always available, with the lineup changing daily, so a new encounter awaits you every time you visit.
The selection of bottled beers is also extensive, allowing you to enjoy 'drinking by the label' instead of 'buying by the label'.
Fruity beers and limited-edition beers for seasons and events also appear, such as 'Sakura Beer' during cherry blossom season and 'Tiramisu Chocolate Beer' for Valentine's Day.
The deliciousness of the beer is guaranteed, and there's no end to the praise from people who used to dislike beer but fell in love with craft beer at Mugibaru.
Please come and find your favorite glass.

When you visit Mugibaru, you definitely want to try the customizable 'Appetizer Plate'.
This great value plate allows you to choose your favorite items from about 25 proud appetizers, available in 3-item, 5-item, 7-item, and 10-item assortments.
The highly popular 'Iburigakko Potato Salad' is an exquisite dish where the fragrant smoky aroma and unique texture of Iburigakko (smoked pickled radish) perfectly blend with creamy potato salad.
Also, there's 'Leaf Wasabi Pickled in Soy Sauce' with its addictive pungent kick, 'Ume Suisho' (shark cartilage with plum paste), 'Sasami Red Hot Chicken' with a spicy flavor that goes well with beer, and the very popular 'Bluefin Tuna Steak,' among other perfect accompaniments for beer.

Mugibaru proudly recommends dishes made with rare natural bluefin tuna, truly known as the 'Ruby of the Sea'.
Its flavor, condensed with the bounty of the sea, is exceptional.
The fresh 'Sashimi' is characterized by a rich umami that spreads throughout your mouth.
And the 'Steak' is so juicy it's like eating high-quality meat, with umami overflowing with every bite.
In fact, even Yume Mama, who usually doesn't care much for tuna, finds it so delicious that she asks for seconds.
One of the charms of natural bluefin tuna is that its texture and fat content change with the seasons.
Enjoying the seasonal flavors of the moment is also a unique pleasure of natural tuna.
Furthermore, we offer a half & half option where you can enjoy both our proud sashimi and steak at once, so please try comparing them.

The very popular 'Shibazuke Tartar Chicken Nanban'.
The charm of this dish is undoubtedly the special tartar sauce mixed with Shibazuke, which overturns the conventional wisdom of ordinary tartar sauce.
To the juicy fried chicken coated in sweet and sour Nanban vinegar, the vibrant color, moderate saltiness and acidity, and crunchy texture of Shibazuke are added, creating a new discovery with every bite.
The refreshing flavor of Shibazuke lightens the aftertaste, making the often heavy Chicken Nanban feel lighter.
It pairs perfectly with craft beer, with each flavor enhancing the other, making it an exquisite dish unique to Mugibaru that will keep both your chopsticks and beer flowing.

The 'Crab Gratin Croquette' is a hit with repeat customers.
Break through the crispy crust coated in coarse breadcrumbs, and the rich, melting flavor of béchamel sauce will fill your mouth, delivering a moment of bliss.

For meat lovers, we recommend dishes made with chef-selected domestic chicken neck.
Especially recommended is the 'Chicken Neck with Black Pepper and Yuzu Kosho'.
The chicken neck, fragrant with plenty of black pepper, has a pleasant elasticity, a plump texture, and a juicy umami from the fat that fills your mouth, making it the perfect snack.
The spicy and refreshing yuzu kosho adds an exquisite accent, making the beer go down smoothly.

Popular as a finishing dish is the 'Fresh Bluefin Tuna Dashi Chazuke'.
Using plenty of flavorful natural fresh bluefin tuna, and pouring hot, fragrant dashi over it, brings out the tuna's inherent rich umami.
With each bite, the rich, melting flavor of the tuna blends with the dashi, allowing you to savor a luxurious aftertaste to your heart's content.
Gentle on the stomach after drinking, and warming both mind and body, please enjoy this blissful dish.

Another popular finishing dish is 'Pork Salt Yakisoba'.
The charm of this yakisoba is undoubtedly the umami that seeps from the generous amount of pork, and the customizable ingredients you can choose from.
In addition to juicy pork, you can choose either 'Tomato & Broccoli' or 'Eringi' (King Oyster Mushroom).
If you choose 'Tomato & Broccoli,' the refreshing acidity of tomatoes and the texture of broccoli are added, creating a colorful and light flavor.
On the other hand, if you choose 'Eringi,' the unique chewy texture and rich flavor of eringi mushrooms result in a satisfying dish.
Despite its simple salt flavor, the umami of the pork and chosen vegetables intertwines with the noodles, spreading an appetizing aroma.
It's not too heavy after drinking, can be eaten smoothly, yet provides a satisfying feeling.
It is truly the perfect dish to conclude Mugibaru's delicious drinks and cuisine.

For dessert, you can enjoy 'Hokey Pokey Ice Cream,' a national favorite in New Zealand.
Mugibaru offers a special treat: a rich and creamy vanilla or chocolate base, generously mixed with fragrant Hokey Pokey bits reminiscent of honey and caramel.
The unique light texture of the sticky yet crisp and crunchy bits creates an exquisite contrast with the smooth ice cream.
With one bite, the harmony of melting ice cream and crumbling bits spreads in your mouth, making it an exquisite dish that will captivate you with its gentle sweetness and unique texture.

As summer heat intensifies, this season makes it easy to feel uncomfortable even during morning walks due to the humidity.
Precisely because of this, driven by the chef's strong desire to 'provide a relaxing and healing time' for dogs and their owners, Mugibaru has started serving breakfast for a limited time during summer.
The menu includes 'French Toast,' also known as 'drinkable French toast' for its melt-in-your-mouth texture, and the hearty 'Luncheon Meat and Egg Sandwich' with a special mustard mayo accent.
For those with a sweet tooth, popular desserts like 'Rare Cheesecake' and 'Italian Pudding' are also available.
We also pay attention to our drinks, offering special fruit drinks and carefully brewed coffee from LEAFLETTER, which is highly acclaimed for its delicious coffee.
Customers have given us numerous praises, saying, 'The taste rivals that of a cafe!'
Furthermore, enjoying craft beer from the morning, a rare treat elsewhere, is exceptional! Please stop by with your dog after a walk and enjoy a relaxing time with your beloved companion and our exquisite breakfast menu.

Evening menu also available for order.
