Hop BroTaki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya is reopening on April 18 at 2:00 p.m. It’s nice that they’re tapping two kegs on the day they restart.
MugiWhoa, two beers right on the reopening day!? And it's Yokohama Bay Brewing and Minoh Beer - just the names sound delicious!
Hop BroThe taps are Beer Terrace and Pale Ale. The former is a German Style Pilsner, and the latter is an American Pale Ale, so they’re two beers with very different personalities.
MugiGerman Style Pilsner sounds like suddenly we’re in a teacher’s lecture! What does a "crisp drinking feel" actually mean?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it means it’s clean and finishes sharply. It pairs easily with food, so it’s a great first pint.
MugiI see! So Minoh Beer’s Pale Ale is more beer-forward? I’m curious about that hop aroma!
Hop BroExactly. This one’s appealing for its balance of moderate bitterness and aroma. It has a solid craft-beer character, and it’s a fun pair to compare.
MugiAnd Taki〜AKANE〜 is centered on Japanese craft beer and Japanese sake, right? That’s basically the champion spot for drinking!
Hop BroIt’s nice that it’s easygoing even in Dogenzaka. Plus, for the first two hours after opening, there’s 100 yen off, so there’s a strong reason to start your first drink while it’s still light out.
MugiIf it’s open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., you can go early and compare the beers! A first drink on reopening day feels extra special.
Hop BroThen today, the right move is to start with Beer Terrace for a crisp opening and enjoy the aroma with the Pale Ale. Pilsner and Pale Ale - that’s definitely the kind of lineup that makes you want to go out for a drink.
On April 18, doors open at 2:00 p.m., and the shop restarts after a temporary closure
The beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Shibuya's Dogenzaka will be open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 18. In a post, the shop said, "We will reopen tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.," after a temporary closure right up until just before then, marking a fresh restart while getting back into good condition.
The two kegs tapped on this day
The new beers announced in the 4/18 post are two that should offer a nice balance of drinkability and character.
- Yokohama Bay Brewing Beer Terrace (German Style Pilsner)
- Minoh Beer Pale Ale (American Pale Ale)
The former sounds like it will have the sharp, clean drinking feel typical of a German-style pilsner, making it an easy beer to pair with food. The latter is a classic pale ale that lets you enjoy hop aroma and a moderate bitterness, giving you a clear craft-beer character. Because the two kegs have different styles, they suit both people who want to start with a lively first pint and those who want to compare differences in aroma and bitterness.
The easygoing usefulness that feels like AKANE
As its name suggests, Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining is a place centered on Japanese craft beer and Japanese sake. Even though it is in Dogenzaka, it has a relaxed, easy-to-drop-in atmosphere, and one of its strengths is that you can enjoy not only beer but also snacks and meals together.
Because this day is a Saturday business day, it opens at 2:00 p.m. In addition, "Akane's Happy Time" runs for the first two hours after opening, so depending on when you arrive, you may be able to start your first pint at a discount. For anyone who wants to drink craft beer in the daylight, it is a very convenient time slot.
