Hop BroToday's headline is Sakura Taps in Yokohama updating its eight-beer tap list on July 13.
MugiWait, eight on tap at once? That's basically a flight paradise. Where do we even start?
Hop BroThe big one is Haze Alliance, a WCB × JRA Baji Koen collab, and it's a hazy Triple IPA with serious presence.
MugiHazy and Triple IPA in one sentence is a lot of beer words. What does it actually taste like?
Hop BroThink a fuller body, smooth texture, and tropical hop aroma from NZ-grown hops jumping out of the glass.
MugiWhat is that! So it's juicy and smooth, but also strong? That's deliciously suspicious.
Hop BroExactly. And when I say “full body,” I just mean more mouthfeel than a light lager, not liquid dumbbells.
MugiOkay, that I get! But your explanations are helpful and then suddenly super technical. Your vocabulary carbonation is intense.
Hop BroThat's Sakura Taps for you: Belgian Wit 'Fuuri,' anniversary 'Yoshidacho Helles 2026,' strawberry-driven 'Sweet Strawberry,' tart 'Shinshu Heion,' plus Dunkel and XPA in one crowded counter.
MugiSo if I want easygoing, I go XPA; if I want malt, Dunkel; if I want sweet-tart fruit, my mood picks the beer?
Hop BroPretty much, and Noroshi IPA adds a hoppy-but-friendly option too, so now I've fully activated my own thirst.
MugiSame here, I'm done pretending to be calm. I want to hit Sakura Taps tonight and toast in every direction.
7/13 tap list
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Hanasakicho, Yokohama, had eight beers on tap as of 7/13. The lineup ranges from the Belgian witbier Fūri and the anniversary Helles Yoshida-machi Helles 2026 to Sweet Strawberry, a fruit beer, and Shinshu Heion, an apple IPA built around tart Bramley apples.
The standout pour is Haze Alliance, billed as WCB’s 7th anniversary beer. It is a Hazy Triple IPA from WCB × JRA Baji Koen, brewed with New Zealand hops and described as offering tropical aromatics, a full body, and a smooth mouthfeel. It is the kind of beer that will appeal to hop-forward drinkers looking for a more layered, aromatic pint.
For a lighter direction, there is XPA, a dry and sharp Extra Pale Ale, and Noroshi IPA, which leans juicy and hazy while staying easy to drink. Malty drinkers can look to Dunkel, the dark lager on the board. In other words, Sakura Taps is serving a tap list that covers lager, fruit beer, multiple IPA expressions, and a seasonal collaboration beer in one sitting.
