Hop BroToday we're talking about three kegs opening at once at Shibuya beer pub Taki~AKANE~. On March 27, it's open from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and the first two hours are the 100 yen-off "Akane's Happy Time."
MugiWhoa! That already sounds fun! 100 yen off is one of those small but really nice things. And three kinds of draft beer? That's the kind of place that makes you want to hop around!
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. First up is Osaka's Minoh Beer Pale Ale, with a refreshing citrus aroma and a classic character that goes down smoothly as your first pint.
MugiOhh! A citrus aroma sounds like that little burst of orange-like fragrance when you open it up, right? That seems easy to drink even for beer beginners!
Hop BroExactly. There's also Yamanashi's Fujizakura Kogen Beer Weizen. Because it uses wheat malt, it has a soft mouthfeel and gives off a gentle, white-beer-like impression.
MugiWait, what's wheat malt? That's not the usual barley, right? If it's soft and fluffy, does that mean it's kind of bread-like?
Hop BroBasically, it's malt made using more wheat, and because it has more protein, it tends to have a smoother mouthfeel. And Aichi's Totopia Campophobia is a West Coast IPA style, so it's a beer where you can really enjoy the hop character.
MugiWhoa, suddenly West Coast IPA style! That's the bitter kind, right? But the name makes it sound more adventurous than camping, so now I'm kind of curious!
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of beer with a crisp bitterness that's easy to imagine. Taki~AKANE~ is strong because it lets you enjoy Japanese craft beer and sake together with seasonal ingredients and fresh fish.
MugiYellowtail, red sea bream, and even a spring wild-vegetable tempura platter? That's amazing! With beer and food, it feels like it could go on forever!
Hop BroThe flow is really nice too: pale ale for appetizers, weizen with the meal, and IPA to finish. If you want to enjoy the whole night through in Shibuya, this is a three-keg lineup that's easy to work with.
MugiNow I completely want to go! Three kegs in Shibuya, plus Happy Time? That's way too strong a reason to go drinking tonight!
Hop BroThen it's settled. Let's start with Minoh's Pale Ale for the toast, move on to Fujizakura's Weizen, and finish with Totopia's IPA. This is the kind of night that says we're drinking tonight, no question.
MugiYep, my throat is already waiting for beer! We're drinking tonight, no question. Let's just meet on site!

The shop's concept is to stock a wide selection of craft beer and sake chosen by the owner from around Japan, and to enjoy them with the food.
