Sakura Taps releases June 28 tap list with eight draft beers
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Hanasaki-cho, Yokohama, released its June 28 tap list. The lineup includes eight drafts, with beers from Kamado Brewery, Shiga Kogen Beer, and several collaborative labels.
Hop BroToday’s fresh Sakura Taps lineup is worth talking about. On June 28, they open at 1:00 p.m. and close at 11:30 p.m., with eight beers on draft including a cherry-themed one.
MugiWait, eight taps at once? That’s the kind of menu that makes me panic in a good way! And cherry-themed too?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. You’ve got Kamado Brewery’s Bon Voyage! Bonsai Pale Ale, Shiokaze Blue Lab Brewery’s Keiyo Kolsch, and Shiga Kogen Beer’s Indian Summer Saison, so the range is really solid.
MugiWow! But Kolsch and Saison still sound a little mysterious to me. Beer spells, basically.
Hop BroFair question. Kolsch is clean and light-bodied, really crisp to drink. Saison often has a drier finish with spicy or fruity notes from the yeast.
MugiHold on, notes from the yeast? What does that even mean? I thought yeast just did the background paperwork!
Hop BroHere’s the thing: during fermentation, yeast creates fruity aromatic character. Sometimes it feels banana-like, sometimes peppery, and that helps define the beer’s personality.
MugiThat’s actually so cool! Then the easy side-by-side tasting part makes total sense. Pale ale, Kolsch, Saison, and collabs all on one list sounds dangerously fun.
Hop BroAnd there’s more: Break Edge Beer Works’ Right, Barbaric Works x Aun’s Aun Bakushu, Inkhorn Brewing x Vertere’s Bulbul, plus Sankt Gallen’s Sakura on the board. It’s a smart mix of classics and playful picks.
MugiThen it’s settled, first round at Sakura Taps. If they do craft beer and coffee, I’m fully ready to sit down and drink my way through this list.
