Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open on Saturday, March 28, from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. On weekends and holidays, the shop opens in the daytime, and it also offers a 100-yen-off Happy Time for the first two hours after opening. It is planning conger eel rice bowls for a late lunch, so it looks like an easy place to stop by not only for beer but also for a meal.

Newly tapped: Minoh Beer 'Osaru IPA'

The highlight of the day is Minoh Beer Osaru IPA from Osaka, announced as the newly tapped draft keg. The description says it is an IPA that uses five kinds of American hops generously, with a vivid orange color, aromas reminiscent of pear, white peach, and mango, and a firm bitterness. Its appeal also lies in a slightly sweet flavor with a sweet note, making it a beer suited for people who want to enjoy both fruitiness and hop character.

Three draft beers on the day

The draft beer lineup includes COEDO 'Shibunama-SHIBUNAMA-', Hitachino Nest Beer 'White Ale', and the newly tapped Minoh Beer 'Osaru IPA'. From easy-drinking classics to an IPA with a pronounced hop character, the selection offers a wide range of flavors.

A place to enjoy sake and food as well

As the name suggests, AKANE is a beer pub centered on Japanese craft beer and sake. Its sake list includes Ryujin from Gunma, Kawanakajima Genbu from Nagano, Amabuki from Saga, and Yamanokotobuki and Mitsui no Kotobuki from Fukuoka, making it a place where you can enjoy both beer and sake. It also has plenty of fresh fish, fried dishes, and snacks, making it a convenient spot for a relaxed evening of drinking in a corner of Dogenzaka.

March 28 is a day to go after the daytime opening, Happy Time, and the newly tapped IPA all at once. For beer lovers, starting with a glass of Minoh Beer 'Osaru IPA' seems like the way to go.
