Sakura Taps lines up eight beers for June 14, with Taco Rice Sunday
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Yokohama’s Hanasakicho district, opens from 13:00 on Sunday, June 14. The day features Taco Rice Sunday and an eight-beer draft lineup spanning saisons, Helles, dark beers, and a red ale.
Hop BroToday’s Sakura Taps Sunday looks seriously good. On June 14 they open at 1:00 p.m., close at 11:30 p.m., and they’ve got eight beers on draft.
MugiWhoa! An eight-tap lineup already sounds impossible to choose from, and now it’s a Sunday thing too?
Hop BroAnd there’s also Taco Rice Sunday. Lots of veggies, coarse-ground meat, and a full meal that lets each beer show off a little better.
MugiWhat is that! Beer and taco rice sounds like winning at lunchtime. So what’s actually on tap?
Hop BroFor the first pour, Yoshidacho Helles 2026 stands out right away. It’s a Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft beer, and together with Arigato Saison it gives the lineup a really easy, bright start.
MugiHelles? What even is Helles? That sounds more like a final boss than something I casually drink.
Hop BroSimple version: a pale German lager. Gentle bitterness, bready malt, and a smooth drinkability that makes it very easy to keep going.
MugiOhh, so it’s a smooth easy-drinker. Then Schwarz, Back to Black, and Cleopatra sound like the dark-side lineup with extra drama.
Hop BroExactly, and that three-dark-beer run is a big part of the fun. You’ve got Harvest Moon’s Schwarz, Brewccoly’s Back to Black, and Cleopatra from MAHOWBREW × Beer Bomb, so you can compare how each roasted profile lands.
MugiWait, roasted? Roasted flavor in beer? My brain just mixed up coffee beans, toast, and a bar stool.
Hop BroIt means the malt leaves a toasty lingering finish. And with AKA, Shakunage from Groundtap Brewery, and Noroshi American Red Ale in there too, you can build a whole tasting order from light to red to dark.
MugiThat sounds like Sunday tasting heaven. I want to hit Sakura Taps at 1:00, start with Yoshidacho Helles 2026, and dive straight into taco rice.
Sakura Taps on June 14
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Yokohama’s Hanasakicho area, will open on Sunday, June 14 at 13:00 and close at 23:30. The post also highlights its Sunday-only menu, Taco Rice Sunday, featuring taco rice with plenty of vegetables and coarse-ground meat. It is the kind of food pairing that makes a tap list easier to explore, one beer at a time.
The draft lineup for the day is:
- Arigatou Saison / Tsugaru Brewing
- Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft
- AKA / Shikibia
- Shakunage / Groundtap Brewery
- Schwarz / Harvest Moon
- Back to Black / Brewccoly
- Cleopatra / MAHOWBREW × Beer Bomb
- Noroshi American Red Ale / Noroshi Brewing
The selection moves from lighter styles such as saison and Helles into darker territory with Schwarz, Back to Black, and Cleopatra. That range makes the lineup well suited for a relaxed tasting session, especially with food on the table. A red ale adds another bridge between the brighter and roastier ends of the spectrum.
Two beers stand out as collaborative or house-linked releases: “Yoshidamachi Helles 2026,” brewed with Numazu Craft, and “Cleopatra,” a MAHOWBREW × Beer Bomb collaboration. Together they show the mix of local identity and outside brewery connections that often makes a tap list at Sakura Taps worth checking closely. It is a Sunday lineup built for drinking with food, comparing styles, and taking time with each glass.
