Hop Brotaki, the beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka area, is celebrating with a 15th anniversary event. Three distinctive taps are ready for a toast!
MugiWow, taki has been around for 15 years? It’s close to Shibuya Station, so I could pop in after work!
Hop BroThe star is Matsue Beer Hearn’s 6.0% Weizen. It’s a wheat beer brewed entirely with German ingredients.
MugiWhat even is a Weizen? What is wheat beer? Does it taste like drinking bread?
Hop BroWheat gives it a soft mouthfeel, while the yeast can create a banana-like aroma. Don’t worry—you won’t be drinking liquid toast!
MugiPhew, no liquid bread! And with IBU 8, that gentle bitterness sounds friendly for a craft-beer newcomer like me.
Hop BroExactly. It also pairs nicely with Japanese food. Then there’s LEMENBRAU on tap, a collaboration from HIGHBURY and BAEREN.
MugiA collaboration beer too! And T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY has Sansho Jasmine on tap—that name already sounds wildly aromatic!
Hop BroIt suggests the crisp character of sansho pepper and jasmine-like notes, totally different from the Weizen. That makes it fun to compare all three pours.
MugiSoft wheat beer, a collaboration, then sansho and jasmine… I want a tasting flight! Let’s check the current tap list and toast taki’s 15th anniversary!
Three distinctive beers at Taki
Taki, located on the third floor of Shibuya Johnson Building in Sakuragaoka, Tokyo, is currently holding a 15th-anniversary event. The pub is known for pairing Japanese craft beer and sake with seasonal ingredients, fresh fish, and dishes designed to complement drinks.
The featured lineup includes three beers. The main attraction is Matsue Beer Herun’s Weizen, brewed exclusively with German ingredients. At 6.0% ABV and 8 IBU, it offers banana-like aromas, gentle bitterness, and a soft wheat-beer body. Its restrained bitterness makes it an appealing choice alongside Japanese food.
Also available is LEMENBRAU, a collaboration between HIGHBURY and BAEREN. The third tap is Sansho Jasmine from T.Y.HARBOR Brewery, offering a more distinctive aromatic profile shaped by sansho pepper and jasmine. Together, the three beers provide a broad tasting flight, moving from a smooth wheat beer to a collaborative release and a spice- and floral-accented beer.
Taki maintains three rotating taps and places importance on its relationships with brewers. Its relaxed setting makes it suitable for enjoying beer with food, while the sake selection gives guests another way to explore Japan’s drinks culture.
Tap availability may change, so guests should check the latest list when visiting. The anniversary event offers a timely opportunity to try several contrasting beers at one of Shibuya’s established beer-and-sake pubs.
