MugiWait, Kyoto x Totopia already sounds overpowered. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt's an Oat Cream IPA. Oats soften the mouthfeel, and the whole thing aims for that dessert-like satisfaction without losing the IPA edge.
MugiWhat is that even! What do oats do in beer? Breakfast just kicked the door open.
Hop BroBasically, they add a gentle creamy body. Not thick like soup, just soft and smooth in a really easy-drinking way.
MugiOhhh, so this is dessert-beer energy? That sounds dangerously easy to love.
Hop BroExactly, and with Dolcita hops they push an orange creamsicle vibe. Think bright citrus aroma with a mellow, rounded finish.
MugiHold on, fancy! When you say citrus aroma, you just mean it smells orangey and drinks smooth, right?
Hop BroThat's it. And there's only 15 liters available, so this is a go-early situation. Blink too slowly and the keg wins.
MugiNo pressure at all! And Sakura Taps has eight draft lines that day, right? I'd get distracted by the whole board immediately.
Hop BroYep, and they still have peach compote too. I'd happily drink Lactophilia, grab something sweet, and camp there from 3:00 to 11:30.
MugiThen it's settled: let's go drink. I need to test that orange-creamsicle thing and finish with peach compote.
On June 30, Sakura Taps opens from 15:00 until 23:30. The day’s single new tap is Lactophilia from Kyoto Brewing × Totopia Brewery, an Oat Cream IPA that continues Totopia’s earlier collaboration "Lactose Fear Syndrome" and pushes deeper into a lactose-driven theme. Brewed with Dolcita hops and inspired by orange cream ice cream, it is described as a rich, mellow beer with bright citrus aromatics. The pub says only 15L is available, so it sounds worth checking early.
The draft lineup for the day totals eight beers:
- All you need is Flower / Yorocco Beer
- 吉田町へレス 2026 / Sakura Taps × 沼津クラフト
- Missing Panda / しろすずめ
- Oaxaca / Cycad Brewing
- Erykah / Barbaric Works
- Unexpected / Sakura 燻製工房 × 254 BeeR
- TIMMUR / 奈良醸造 × OLD NEPAL TOKYO
- Lactophilia / Kyoto Brewing × Totopia Brewery
Located on the second floor along Noge’s Noraneko Street in Yokohama, Sakura Taps operates as a beer pub where craft beer, coffee, and seasonal food can be enjoyed at an unhurried pace.
