Shibuya's taki lists three taps, led by Isekadoya Beer
The Shibuya beer pub taki shared its July 14 tap list alongside opening hours. The lineup features three beers from Isekadoya Beer, Iwate Kura Beer, and Ushitora Brewery, including a sansho-based release.
Hop BroShibuya looks good tonight because taki’s three taps are a pretty fun lineup. On Tuesday, July 14, they’ve got Ise Kadoya Beer, Iwate Kura Beer, and Ushitora Brewery, and they’re open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.
MugiWhat! Those three breweries in Shibuya at once? That’s stacked. And being open late makes it way too easy to stop by after work!
Hop BroThe tap list is Ohisama Ale, Iwate Kura Beer’s Japanese Spice Ale Sansho, and Ushitora Brewery’s Kome PA. It’s a nice mix of familiar and unexpected, which I love.
MugiHold on, a sansho beer? What is that supposed to be? Is my drink about to show up acting like spicy tofu stew?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a Japanese Herb Ale made with sansho berries from Ichinoseki. They replace part of the hop character with sansho to bring out spice and a citrusy freshness.
MugiWait, replace the hops? What does that even mean? Your beer talk just turned into a chemistry class!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a new aroma role in the lineup. Instead of letting hops do all the aromatic work, sansho joins in and adds a crisp, peppery, very Japanese kind of lift. And at 5.0% ABV, it sounds pretty approachable.
MugiOoh, nice! So you could start classic with Ohisama Ale, get surprised by the sansho one, and then finish with the rice-based PA. That sounds like a very busy and very happy mouth.
Hop BroThat order makes sense. The rice-based PA should bring its own personality too, and at a place like taki where you can pair beer with food, this three-beer lineup really stands out.
MugiNow I’m stuck choosing tonight’s first pint between the safe route and the sansho surprise. Either way, I absolutely want to drink at taki now.
