Shibuya's Taki〜AKANE〜 will be closed on April 1; three draft beers including COEDO Shibunama
The beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, announced that it will be closed on Wednesday, April 1. In addition to its April business schedule, the post also highlighted three draft beers and a spring-inspired food lineup, making it the kind of content that makes you want to imagine the next day's drink.
Hop BroSo the word is that Taki〜AKANE〜 in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be closed on April 1. And on the 2nd, it's open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, with ¥100 off for the first two hours after opening. That's the kind of thing that makes your throat start craving a drink before you even go, right?
MugiWait, what!? Even a notice about a closed day makes you want to go out for a drink that much!? And a beer pub in Shibuya already sounds strong on its own!
Hop BroThe draft lineup is the real draw. There's COEDO Shibunama-SHIBUNAMA-, White Ale, and Osaru IPA - three styles ranging from light and easygoing to firmly hop-forward.
MugiHold on, is White Ale actually a white beer? The name alone makes it sound fluffy, and it already sounds tasty just from the title!
Hop BroIt's not really white in appearance so much as gentle in its malt color and yeast-derived aroma. Hitachino Nest's version has a light, easy-drinking character, which makes it a great first beer.
MugiI see! Then Osaru IPA sounds like the one that's going to run wild, right!? Your Hop Bro face is totally saying you want to talk about it!
Hop BroYou caught me. IPA is a style you enjoy for the hop aroma and bitterness, and Osaru IPA really brings that side out. If you pair it with food, snacks with plenty of umami won't get overpowered.
MugiThe food sounds really tempting too! Firefly squid tempura and all that spring feeling - it's like not just the beer, but my stomach is getting called over too!
Hop BroThat's one of this place's strengths. There's assorted fresh sashimi, iburigakko, and even pork nikudofu, so you can also branch out into sake and shochu. In other words, there are more excuses to drink.
MugiNot excuses, happy forks in the road! If it's closed on April 1, that just means I should go on the 2nd, and I can already see a future of taking it easy in Dogenzaka!
Hop BroExactly. Part of the fun of craft beer is imagining the next day's drink while you wait. Taste the feel of the city with Shibunama, unwind with White Ale, and finish with Osaru IPA. That's hard to beat.
MugiYeah, I'm already in full drinking mode! On April 2 at 5:00 p.m., let's start with a first beer in Shibuya, then nibble on some food, and before we know it we'll be the kind of people laughing all evening!
Closed on April 1, regular business resumes on the 2nd

Three draft beers on tap
The draft beers confirmed in this post are three labels, each with a distinct character.
- COEDO SHIBUNAMA-SHIBUNAMA-
- Hitachino Nest Beer White Ale
- Minoh Beer Osaru IPA
COEDO's Shibunama is a bottle that feels fitting for Shibuya, which is also in the store's name, while Hitachino Nest's White Ale is appealing for its light, easygoing character. Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA is the kind of option you want when you're in the mood for a solid hop experience. For craft beer fans, it's a lineup that naturally invites a tasting comparison.
Dishes to pair with the beer
The food menu features pub-style snacks such as assorted fresh sashimi, black soybeans, iburigakko with sake-kasu cream cheese, fried oysters, and pork nikudofu. Seasonal spring dishes that stand out include Toyama-grown firefly squid and Fukuoka-grown bamboo shoot tempura, grilled bamboo shoot with sansho flavor, water-boiled oysters and seri, and Toyama-grown live firefly squid shabu-shabu.
One of this place's strengths is that, while beer is at the center, you can also widen the evening to include sake and shochu depending on your mood. April 1 is a day off, but on the following day's business hours, it looks like a place where you can relax over three draft beers and seasonal dishes in Dogenzaka.
