Hop BroShibuya’s Dogenzaka spot, Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining, is opening at 5 p.m. on March 31. It’s a guide to enjoying spring ingredients and draft beer together, and it really hits the sweet spot for beer bar fans.
MugiWhat, it’s open from 5 p.m. to midnight? You can start drinking early and still stay out late too. That’s basically perfect!
Hop BroAnd for the first two hours after opening, there’s Akane’s Happy Time with 100 yen off. It’s a pretty nice setup if you want to start with a light first drink.
MugiA 100 yen discount is small but nice, and somehow very specific! So what beers can you drink? I’m curious about the three draft beers!
Hop BroThe lineup is COEDO’s Shibunama, Hitachino Nest’s White Ale, and Minoh Beer’s Osaru IPA. White-style, ale, and IPA each take a different direction, so it’s a really fun set for tasting side by side.
MugiWhite Ale means, um, a pale kind of beer? The name is cute, but I still can’t quite picture the taste...
Hop BroExactly. White Ale often brings out the softness from wheat and a citrus-like aroma. When you add an aromatic ale to that mix, the springlike lightness really comes through.
MugiSo Osaru IPA sounds energetic just from the name! A hop-forward IPA is usually bitter, right?
Hop BroIt’s not just bitterness, it’s the aromatic punch that makes it appealing. That’s why the joy of comparing beers comes through so clearly, and the flow of starting light, then moving to something more aromatic, and finishing with an IPA feels great.
MugiAnd the food is all spring too, with sake-steamed clams and grilled and tempura bamboo shoots. It’s basically spring ingredients everywhere! This is more like a feast than beer snacks.
Hop BroAnd with sake like Ryujin, Kawanakajima Genbu, and Amabuki also on the list, being able to move back and forth depending on your mood is a real strength. Just imagining the flow from beer into sake makes me want to go tonight.
MugiYeah, it has that easygoing Shibuya feel, but it’s still a proper Japanese dining place, and the Dogenzaka location is kind of unfair too! I’ve already put it on my tonight’s drink list, so now I’m fully ready to go out and drink!
The Dogenzaka spot “Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining” in Shibuya operates as a Japanese dining venue centered on beer and sake. In this announcement, it will open at 5 p.m. and close at midnight on Tuesday, March 31. For the two hours after opening, guests can enjoy “Akane’s Happy Time,” with drinks discounted by 100 yen.
Three draft beers will be on offer that day. The lineup features COEDO’s “Shibunama,” Hitachino Nest Beer’s “White Ale,” and Minoh Beer’s “Osaru IPA.” Each is a Japanese craft beer with its own personality, creating a selection that makes it easy to compare a light white-style beer, an aromatic ale, and a hop-forward IPA.
The sake selection is also well stocked, with Ryujin, Kawanakajima Genbu, Amabuki, Yamanokotobuki, Mitsui no Kotobuki, Chokaisan, Kakuemon, and Kariho, among others. Being able to move freely between beer and sake according to the mood of the day is one of this restaurant’s strengths.
The food clearly leans into spring. Clams are served as sake-steamed clams, bamboo shoots are offered grilled and as tempura, and dishes using Toyama firefly squid, seri, and fresh onions are also available. The fresh fish includes bonito, young yellowtail, striped jack, and sardines. It feels natural to start with an easy first glass of craft beer, pair it with seasonal snacks, and then move on to sake.
Like a beer pub on Dogenzaka, it is a place where casualness and the calm of Japanese dining coexist. The spring tap list and seasonal dishes are worth checking out from the 5 p.m. opening.
