The beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Friday, May 22. For the first two hours after opening, it will run a happy hour with 100 yen off, making it easy to stop by after work and enjoy an IPA from Tokyo's Augus Beer as well as a commemorative collaboration beer.
Hop BroThe Dogenzaka beer pub in Shibuya, Taki〜AKANE〜, is open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Friday, May 22. And with 100 yen off for the first two hours after opening, that's a pretty strong reason to stop by after work.
MugiWait, a 100-yen-off happy hour is secretly way more welcome than you’d expect, right? That’s the kind of deal that gives your first drink a gentle shove!
Hop BroThe draft beers on tap that day are Augs IPA and Tambaji Brewery × VALLE SAGRADO's 8th anniversary beer. One has hop aroma and bitterness, and the other has that special celebratory feel, which is great.
MugiWhat, exactly, is so different about IPA? I see the name all the time, but it just sounds like some kind of intimidating spell!
Hop BroThink of IPA as a hop-forward beer and it makes sense. The aroma stands out and the bitterness is easy to enjoy, so if you compare them, each beer's personality shows up right away.
MugiI see, so it’s a night where tasting side by side is the fun part! With two kinds, it suddenly feels like you can start pretending to be a beer expert!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is strong too, with a solid bar-snack selection. Potato fries, iburi-gakko, spicy potato fries, salmon in sake lees, and ume suishin are all there, so no matter where you start, you can't go wrong.
MugiWait, iburi-gakko plus sake lees is already a winner, isn't it? The snacks might make the drinks go down so fast I'm worried the beer won't be able to keep up!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that the shop is centered on Japanese craft beer and sake. In Shibuya, you can come for a beer-forward drink or settle in for a meal, and that's very much Taki〜AKANE〜's style.
MugiThen I'll start with a drink after work and before I know it, I'll be on the second-round course! Shibuya nights feel like they could be dangerously delicious!
Hop BroExactly, it's the perfect day to check out the current keg lineup. Lean into the hop aroma, finish with the anniversary beer, and by the end you'll probably want one more plate of snacks.
On Friday, May 22, "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight. For the first two hours after opening, happy hour will take 100 yen off, making it an easy place to stop in after work.
The draft beers on tap that day are Tokyo's Augus Beer "Augs IPA" and Hyogo's Tambaji Brewery × VALLE SAGRADO "8th Anniversary Beer". In addition to the IPA, which makes it easy to enjoy hop aroma and bitterness, there is a special anniversary beer on the lineup, so it is easy to structure a tasting comparison. While beer is the focus, the shop also highlights sake, which is part of its appeal, along with a wide range of food pairings.
The food menu includes the "Kita Kanto Gourmet Potato Fries" shown in the images, as well as classics that pair well with beer, such as "Iburi-gakko and sake lees cream cheese," "Spicy potato fries," "Salmon marinated in sake lees (using Kagiyama sake lees)," and "Ume suishin." It's a lineup that suits starting lightly with fried items and then moving on to fermented snacks as you keep drinking.
The shop's concept, as the second location in Shibuya, is "Japanese craft beer and sake." In a corner of Dogenzaka, it lets you enjoy beer as the main attraction while pairing it with a meal, so it's convenient for anything from a single drink to a long night out. As a late-May business update, it's worth keeping track of the current keg lineup.
