Hop BroCraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity in Hanasaki-cho, Yokohama, was open on April 4 from 14:00 to 23:30. And on top of that, the day had a nine-tap lineup, which makes it perfect for a slow tasting session.
MugiWhoa, nine taps is a lot! Having that much on one day is basically a total tap-list festival!
Hop BroAnd the headline beer was SABER ESB from BLADE FACTORY BREWING. ESB is in the English bitter style, so it brings out gentle bitterness and malty sweetness, which makes it a really solid first pour.
MugiWait, what even is ESB? It sounds like a spell, but hearing "malty sweetness" makes me want to try it!
Hop BroESB stands for Extra Special Bitter. It doesn’t mean super bitter; it’s a style for enjoying the savory character of English pub beers, and it often brings out a toffee-like toastiness.
MugiOhhh! So it’s not just ESB, right? If Oni Densetsu is there too, that lineup is basically a traffic jam of character!
Hop BroExactly. There’s Oni Ripi Hoppy Saison, Kinki Pale Ale, and then Makikaze IPA and Mr.Green Tackle/IPA too. With saison, pale ale, and IPA all lined up, it’s fun to track how the hop character changes one by one.
MugiWhat? Same bar, but it feels like traveling from saison to IPA!
Hop BroAnd there’s also Sorachi Pilsner, Sakurayu Gose, and As You Feel #2, so the range goes from light and crisp to full-on hop intensity. With beers from Hokkaido to Kyushu and Shizuoka all on the list, Synchronicity really feels like a map of Japan drawn in beer.
MugiWait, that wide? And it’s not just beer, they even have fresh fruit cocktails? That’s kind of unfair!
Hop BroThey’ve got things like a blood orange Spumoni, a kumquat gin and tonic, and strawberry sparkling wine, so it’s strong as a place to branch out between beers. Keeping beer at the center while switching drinks based on your mood is what makes it great.
MugiThen it’s decided! If I’m drinking in Yokohama, I want to start with SABER ESB and finish with a fruit cocktail!
Hop BroThat’s a good call. Tasting limited beers little by little and then saying you want just one more drink is the magic of a beer pub. Yeah, this is definitely one of those days that makes both of us want to go out for a drink.
Synchronicity in Yokohama Opens with 9 Taps
At CraftBeer Cafe & Bar Synchronicity, the shop will be open on April 4, 2026 from 14:00 to 23:30. According to the Instagram announcement, the day featured a lineup of nine taps, with one new tap being opened. The bar is located in Hanasaki-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, near the Noge area, and it is a place that works well when you want to slowly compare craft beers.
Beers on the Day
The featured beer was SABER ESB / BLADE FACTORY BREWING. It is an ESB that lets you enjoy gentle bitterness and malty sweetness, in a direction reminiscent of English pub bitters and toffee. Alongside it are beers from a wide range of breweries, from Hokkaido to Kyushu and Shizuoka.
- Oni Ripi Hoppy Saison / Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu
- Chakabuki / Yamorido
- Makikaze IPA / ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS
- Kinki Pale Ale "Krush Single Ver." / Noboribetsu Jibeer Oni Densetsu
- Sorachi Pilsner / Takikawa Craft Beer Kobo
- Sakurayu Gose / Beppu Brewery
- As You Feel #2 / TDH Hazy IPA / TAROS BREWING
- Mr.Green Tackle / IPA / Repubrew
The styles also cover a wide range, from saison and ESB to IPA, pilsner, gose, and Hazy IPA, so this lineup lets you follow everything from a light, easy-drinking profile to a more assertive hop character within the same bar. In particular, the two Oni Densetsu beers, Makikaze IPA, and Mr.Green Tackle/IPA should make the differences in hop character easier to spot as you keep drinking.
More Than Beer
The bar also announced a reputation for fresh fruit cocktails, with options such as a blood orange Spumoni, a pistachio frozen cocktail, a kumquat gin and tonic, strawberry sparkling wine, a kiwi mojito, and a Japanese chestnut and black honey frozen drink, all of which are the kind of drinks you might want to slip in between beers. The charm of this place is that, while the craft beer tap list remains the focus, you can still wander over to a different glass whenever the mood changes.
It was a business setup well suited to a day in Yokohama for sampling limited beers a little at a time. From ESB as the starting point, you can also explore seasonal saisons, fruit-forward beers, and hop-heavy IPAs, making it a day you can enjoy in the classic beer-pub style.
