Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara updates its June 8 tap list with three new Yatsugatake beers
Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara, a beer pub in Taito, Tokyo, published its tap list for June 8, 2026. The lineup includes three new Yatsugatake Brewery beers alongside releases from Repubrew, Nara Brewing, Swan Lake Beer and other Japanese craft brewers.
Hop BroAkihabara just got more dangerous in the best way: Craft Beer Scissors Akihabara refreshed its 15-tap lineup on June 8, with three new beers from Yatsugatake Brewery.
MugiWait, three new ones? That trio of fresh arrivals already sounds like a trap for my wallet!
Hop BroThe Yatsugatake set is Kohachi Beer collab, Dunkel, and Rock Bock, and Kohachi Beer is even back in bottles as a collab with Taihu Brewing.
MugiDunkel and Rock Bock? That sounds illegal to say before my first drink. Are those beers or boss battles?
Hop BroDunkel is a German amber lager with toasty depth and an easy finish, while Rock Bock is a 7.0% lager that really shows off the malt.
MugiOhhh, so Dunkel is cozy-toast vibes, and Rock Bock is basically a malt blanket for chaotic weather? I am listening.
Hop BroAnd the side cast is stacked too: Repubrew's AGE AGE SAME AGE, Nara Brewing x VERTERE's Typhina, Swan Lake's Album, and Island Brewery's Shine Muscat Ale make it a tasting playground.
MugiThose names have too much power. MU, Bud Bunny, Nothing Special... this is point-and-order territory for me.
Hop BroFair, but Scissors Akihabara also does growler takeaway, so you can sample at the pub and carry round two home.
MugiHold on, what is a growler? A cute monster? A stainless-steel beer guardian?
Hop BroBasically it's a take-home beer bottle. They also do plastic cups, and they take cash, PayPay, cards, and transit IC. Closed Tuesdays, and on this rainy-day notice they were open until 11 p.m.
MugiThat rules. I want an Akihabara crawl, a compare-and-contrast session, and then all three Yatsugatake beers as the grand finale.
Hop BroStart with Kohachi Beer, finish on Shine Muscat Ale, and call it a night. One drink in Akihabara suddenly doesn't sound like enough.
