Taki in Shibuya taps Blue Magic’s Buchigire Saison4 and two other drafts
Taki, a beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka area, shared its August 9 Sunday draft lineup alongside opening-hours details. The list includes Blue Magic’s Buchigire Saison4, Isekadoya Beer’s Neko Nihiki, and Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN’s Pilsner.
Hop BroShibuya’s taki is pouring three fresh taps tomorrow, August 9. It’s BLUE MAGIC’s "Buchigire Saison 4," Isekadoya Beer’s "Neko ni Hiki," and Yatsugatake Beer TOUCHDOWN’s "Pilsner."
MugiWhat! Those names go hard! "Buchigire Saison 4" sounds like it already has more energy than I do.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. This lineup is three totally different personalities: a saison-type beer, a popular label, and a classic pilsner, so the tasting flow basically builds itself.
MugiHuh, nice! But wait, what even is saison? I hear the word all the time, but my brain still just goes, “summer?”
Hop BroVery roughly, saison is a style with expressive aroma and an easy, lively finish. "Buchigire Saison 4" makes me expect dry and breezy vibes right away.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about the TOUCHDOWN pilsner? The article says ABV 5.5% and IBU 21, but what is IBU 21 supposed to mean?
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness guide, and 21 means crisp but not aggressive. On top of that, this pilsner uses traditional decoction brewing, which is the real geek hook here.
MugiThere it is again, that wizard-sounding method! “Decoction” sounds less like beer and more like I’m summoning a final boss.
Hop BroBasically, part of the mash gets boiled to deepen the malt character and definition. That’s why this pilsner should have clear malt structure, clean bitterness, and a refreshing aroma that works really well with food.
MugiThat actually sounds amazing. Then "Neko ni Hiki" can slide right into the middle. Time for the cat beer feels like a very real plan.
Hop BroExactly. That’s what makes this taki lineup strong: the tasting order writes itself. If you want a proper first drink in Shibuya, this is easy to say yes to. They’re open 16:00 to 24:00, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks at 23:30.
MugiThen it’s settled. Tomorrow in Shibuya, I’m starting at taki and giving that first pour my full attention. I want a pint now!
Taki, a beer pub on the third floor in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka district, will open on Sunday, August 9 from 4:00 p.m. to midnight. Last order is 11:00 p.m. for food and 11:30 p.m. for drinks. The bar posted a “New” draft-beer update, with three beers on the tap list.
Tap List
- `BLUE MAGIC` / `ぶちギレせぞん4`
- `伊勢角屋麦酒` / `ねこにひき`
- `八ヶ岳ビール TOUCHDOWN` / `ピルスナー`
The standout detail is TOUCHDOWN’s `Pilsner`, listed at 5.5% ABV and 21 IBU. Taki describes it as a standard lager built on 100% malt and a traditional decoction process, with clear bitterness and a fresh aroma. The lineup spans a saison, a popular Japanese craft staple, and a classic pilsner, making it an easy bar to work through from the first glass onward.
Taki brands itself as a Japanese Beer & Sake Dining spot, so this kind of mixed draft list fits the room well: beer-forward, food-friendly, and broad enough for a tasting pace instead of a one-note pour.
