Shibuya's Dogenzaka beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Friday, April 10, and will run a "Happy Time" with 100 yen off for the first two hours after opening. The draft beer lineup features three kegs: Locobia, Minoh Beer, and Hitachino Nest Beer.
Hop BroShibuya's Dogenzaka Taki〜AKANE〜 opens at 5 p.m. on 4/10 and stays open until midnight. And the first two hours are 100 yen off, which is perfect for an after-work drink.
MugiWait, there's Happy Time!? That makes my feet want to head straight for Dogenzaka!
Hop BroThere are three draft kegs that day: Locobia, Minoh, and Hitachino. A lineup that lets you compare Japanese breweries side by side is pretty thoughtful.
MugiWhat is that, a three-keg tasting? That's not a meeting, it's an all-out banquet strategy session! But which one should I start with?
Hop BroIf you want to start light, I'd go with Locobia's Sakura, Fragrant Draft. A Kölsch goes down cleanly, and it still has a gentle malty character, so it's a strong first drink.
MugiKölsch sounds like some kind of spell! But when you call it a light, brisk mouthfeel, it does sound delicious from the first sip!
Hop BroAnd the star of the show is Minoh Beer's Weizen. It has that wheat-derived haze, a creamy texture, and aromas like clove and banana, so anyone who loves aroma is going to grin.
MugiWait, clove and banana!? That sounds like it starts out looking like fruit milk and suddenly gets stylish!
Hop BroLast is Hitachino Nest Beer's Daidai Ale. It has a solid citrus character in classic IPA fashion, and the more you drink, the more its edges come into focus.
MugiSo it's a flow for enjoying the differences in aroma. Brisk, mellow, citrusy - just the order alone feels like a little trip!
Hop BroAnd since they also have fresh fish, firefly squid, bamboo shoots, fried oysters, and more, the Japanese snack side is strong too. With sake and shochu as well, it's a place where groups can come without having to compromise.
MugiIt's basically a candidate for tonight's drink! On April 10, head to Dogenzaka and start with beer, then beer again, and probably beer at the end too!
Shibuya's Dogenzaka beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" will be open on Friday, April 10, from 5 p.m. to midnight. For the first two hours after opening, guests can enjoy drinks for 100 yen off as the "Akane Happy Time." The shop bills itself as a place for "Japanese craft beer and sake," and its after-work-friendly hours are part of the appeal.
The draft beer lineup for the day will be the following three kegs:
- Chiba: Locobia "Sakura, Fragrant Draft (Kölsch)"
- Osaka: Minoh Beer "Weizen"
- Ibaraki: Hitachino Nest Beer "Daidai Ale (IPA)"
Among them, Minoh Beer's Weizen is said to have a cloudy, creamy mouthfeel thanks to the wheat used in the ingredients, along with aromas reminiscent of clove and banana. The lineup pairs the briskness of a Kölsch, the aroma of a Weizen, and the citrus character of an IPA, making it a set that clearly invites side-by-side tasting.
The food centers on pub-style Japanese snacks such as fresh fish including yellowtail and red sea bream, firefly squid, bamboo shoots, fried oysters, and smoked daikon pickles with sake lees cream cheese. The shop also serves sake and shochu in addition to beer, so it is easy for groups to choose according to preference. Located on the fourth floor of a building up Dogenzaka from Shibuya Station, it is a convenient place to drop in casually for anything from the first drink to a full meal.
