Hop BroThere’s a Hokkaido & Okinawa Fair happening at taki, the beer pub in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya. On June 5, they even tapped the final new keg for the event.
MugiWhat! Geography is chaos already. North and south Japan in one pub sounds way too fun.
Hop BroThe headline pour is Onuma Beer’s freshly tapped Kolsch from Hokkaido. The style is Kölsch, ABV is 5.0%, and it’s one of their standard beers.
MugiWait, what is Kolsch? It sounds less like beer and more like a stylish special attack.
Hop BroIn simple terms, it’s a clean, crisp ale from the Cologne region of Germany. It has proper craft-beer character, but the finish is light and snappy.
MugiThat’s wild! Complicated but easygoing is exactly the kind of beer trap I want to fall into.
Hop BroAnd the lineup that day is a three-tap flight: Onuma Beer’s Kolsch, Hoppkotan Brewery’s “kunne,” and Nagisa Beer’s “Yamamomo Ale.”
MugiThat’s basically compare-and-drink heaven. Calm and crisp on one side, fruity and flashy on the other.
Hop BroIt’s not just draft either. The fair also has canned beer and food, which makes the whole regional tasting setup feel even better.
MugiAnd it’s until it runs out, right? That is the most dangerous sentence in the beer world.
Hop BroWeekdays are 17:00 to 24:00, weekends and holidays are 16:00 to 24:00, so it’s perfect for a straight after-work stop. I really want to taste that Kolsch myself.
MugiThen it’s settled. I’m starting with Onuma Beer’s Kolsch, and if I’m feeling brave, I’m taking on all three taps.
Beer pub `taki` in Sakuraoka-cho, Shibuya, is currently hosting a Hokkaido & Okinawa fair. According to the post, Oonuma Beer’s flagship `Kölsch` was newly tapped on June 5 as the latest addition to the lineup.
`Kölsch` is listed at 5.0% ABV. The venue describes it as a beer from the Cologne region, with a crisp entry and a clean finish. It is the kind of beer that should appeal to drinkers who like a clear, refreshing profile without losing character.
The tap list for the day was:
- Oonuma Beer / Kölsch
- Hoppukotan Jozo / kunne-Kunne-
- Nagisa Beer / Yamamomo Ale
In addition to draft beer, the fair also features canned beers and food from Hokkaido and Okinawa. As a beer pub, `taki` is set up for tasting through different regional styles and producers rather than just chasing one headline release.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday from 17:00 to 24:00, and Saturday, Sunday, and holidays from 16:00 to 24:00. The fair runs until items sell out, so anyone interested in the featured taps should check in early.
