Hop BroSakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama has no new taps on April 21, but the eight-tap lineup is seriously strong.
MugiWait, no new taps and it's still that fun? And keeping eight taps going? That's the kind of day that really tests the owner's skill!
Hop BroExactly. It starts with TOBIUO Saison 2026, then there are helles, IPA, and porter, so it's interesting if you drink through it in order.
MugiWhat's a saison?! When I hear light, fragrant fermentation notes, beer suddenly feels fancy!
Hop BroSaison was originally a style people drank during farm work. It's aromatic and crisp, so it has a light, refreshing finish that's perfect for a first glass.
MugiI see, so Yoshida Town Helles 2026 is the one that keeps things balanced? Helles just sounds gentle!
Hop BroExactly. Helles is known for its malt sweetness and clean character, and Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft's Yoshida Town Helles 2026 plays the role of bridging you to the next beer without pushing bitterness too hard.
MugiAnd they even have pork heart and celery arrabbiata? Wow, they're really going all in on beer pairing, and my stomach is reacting already!
Hop BroThat heat and richness is the appeal. Start lightly with TOBIUO Saison 2026, play around with bitterness and hop aroma in THE American IPA and Mystic Tiger, then finish slowly with Ogawa Porter and ONMEN BRÄU. That's a really clean flow.
MugiOhh, so it's designed for drinking your way through the lineup. And with the Tuesday one-person operation, even the quiet atmosphere of layering one glass after another becomes part of the flavor.
Hop BroExactly. Since it also includes distinctive beers like UTSUROI and Unexpected, it looks standard at first glance, but still has that playful edge that's so Sakura Taps.
MugiThen that's basically a Tuesday treat. I want to lounge in Hanasakicho, Yokohama with a glass in hand too!
Hop BroThen today feels like a day to go from saison to porter in order. Just reading it makes my throat react.
On April 21, Sakura Taps, true to its identity as a beer pub in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, offered a calm setting for enjoying a few glasses. There were no new kegs tapped that day, but the familiar eight taps were firmly in place, and the kitchen prepared "Pork Heart and Celery Arrabbiata with Melba Toast." As a beer companion, it was a dish with just the right amount of heat and richness.
The taps that day featured Yorocco Beer's "TOBIUO Saison 2026," Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft's "Yoshida Town Helles 2026," Nomcraft Brewing's "Mystic Tiger," Shiokaze Blue Lab Brewery's "THE American IPA," Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's "Ogawa Porter," Baeren x Highbury's "ONMEN BRÄU," Yellow Monkey Brewing's "UTSUROI," and Sakura Smoking Workshop x 254 Beer"Unexpected." The lineup was broad in style, ranging from saison, helles, and hazy IPA to American IPA, porter, rauchbier-style bock, characterful fermentation-driven beers, and even collaboration brews.
Even on a day without any new taps, the lineup tells you plenty about the bar's direction. Start with a light saison, settle into a helles, enjoy the bitterness of an IPA, and finish with a porter or a collaboration beer. It felt like a day made for people who want to carefully follow the different expressions of each beer style, just as at Sakura Taps. Since it's also a one-person operation every Tuesday, the atmosphere of the place itself is part of the appeal.
