Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on May 27. For the first two hours after opening, it will run a happy hour with 100 yen off, and draft kegs of two Nagisa beers and Umenishiki Beer will be available.
Hop BroTaki〜AKANE〜 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, is open on 5/27. From 5:00 p.m. to midnight, it's a pretty perfect day to stop by after work.
MugiWow! From 5:00 p.m. to midnight means you can really drink into the night! And you said right after opening is the best time? Is it that good of a deal?
Hop BroExactly. For the first two hours after opening, there's a 100 yen off Happy Time. It's a pretty bold setup if you just want to casually try your first drink.
MugiWhat! Then I'm going to have trouble deciding what to order first! What do the two Nagisa Beers taste like?
Hop BroThe lineup is American Wheat and Mikan Ale. The former lets you enjoy the softness of wheat malt, while the latter brings out citrus notes, so the two are quite different in direction.
MugiHuh! But what exactly is wheat malt different from in a regular beer? This is suddenly starting to feel like science class!
Hop BroSimply put, it's an ingredient that makes the mouthfeel softer. That's why American Wheat tends to have a light, fluffy drinkability and goes down really smoothly.
MugiI see! Then Mikan Ale already sounds delicious just from the name, and I'm also curious about the Umenishiki Beer Pilsner!
Hop BroPilsner is a classic style that's crisp and easy to drink, so among the three it's likely to be the cleanest, sharpest pint. And the shop's appeal is that it makes Japanese craft beer and sake easy to enjoy.
MugiThat's awesome! If you can enjoy sake too, I want to snack on some fresh fish or Daisen chicken with it!
Hop BroOn top of that, the post says there are only four days left until the final business day, so it does feel a bit special. Go in right after opening, try all three, and really, this is one worth going for.
MugiYeah, this is totally a candidate for tonight's drink! Two Nagisa beers and Umenishiki Pilsner make me want to go drink too!
On May 27, Taki〜AKANE〜 in Shibuya is best visited right after opening
The beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight on Wednesday, May 27. In its post, the shop is promoting an "Akane Happy Time!" with 100 yen off for the first two hours after opening, making it an easy day to stop by for an early drink after work.
The draft lineup for the day consists of three beers in total: two from Wakayama's Nagisa Beer, plus Umenishiki Beer from Ehime. The lineup is:
- Nagisa Beer American Wheat
- Nagisa Beer Mikan Ale
- Umenishiki Beer Pilsner
From the soft character of wheat malt in the American Wheat, to the citrus-like notes you can imagine in the Mikan Ale, and the clean drinking profile of the Pilsner, the three beers offer distinctly different directions.
The shop's concept is to make it easy to enjoy Japanese craft beer and sake in Dogenzaka, Shibuya. In addition to draft beer, it often taps sake as well, which is part of what makes it unique: you can focus on beer while also pairing it with Japanese alcoholic drinks. The food menu also includes fresh fish, delicacies, and Daisen chicken snacks, making it easy to move from a light first drink into a meal.
In this post, the shop also says there are four days left until its final business day, which gives the occasion a sense of being a milestone. If you're drinking craft beer in Shibuya, it looks like the best move is to time your visit for the happy hour right after opening and compare the two Nagisa beers with Umenishiki Pilsner.
