taki in Shibuya taps Minoh Beer Haikara Pils, plus Coffee IPA and Yamamomo Ale
On Tanabata day, the Shibuya beer pub taki announced its tap list. The new pour is Minoh Beer’s limited Haikara Pils, joined by Minoh Beer Coffee IPA and Nagisa Beer Yamamomo Ale.
Hop Brotaki in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka just tapped Haikara Pils for Tanabata. It’s a limited brew from Minoh Beer.
MugiWhat! This Tanabata tap list is already stacked! Even the name sounds like it showed up dressed for a party!
Hop BroAnd the style is Italian Pilsner style. It’s 5.5% ABV, 35 IBU, crisp to drink but with a refined hop aroma.
MugiWhoa, but what even is an Italian-style pils? It’s not pizza-flavored, right?!
Hop BroNot quite. It’s basically a pilsner with German noble hops pushed forward, and the dry-hop technique is what gives it that elegant aroma.
MugiThey add hops during fermentation too!? That sounds like extra hop glam, like the beer got dressed up for a night out!
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close. The recipe started from a collaboration with Tim from Oxbow Brewing, and now it’s been refreshed into a rebranded release with a new name and design.
MugiOkay, that backstory tastes good too! And today at taki, the three-beer lineup looks ridiculously strong.
Hop BroExactly. Minoh Beer’s Haikara Pils and Coffee IPA, plus Nagisa Beer’s Yamamomo Ale, make it easy to compare from crisp to fruity in one sitting.
MugiCoffee IPA to wake me up, Yamamomo Ale to make me swoon, then Haikara Pils to reset everything. One round in Shibuya suddenly sounds very necessary!
Hop BroWeekdays start at 5 p.m., weekends and holidays at 4 p.m., and they’re open every day in July. If you want to drink what’s fresh near the station, this is a strong day to go.
MugiThen it’s settled! My Tanabata wish is simple: I want all three. Reading this made me seriously want a drink!
Shibuya’s beer pub [taki](/app), located in Sakuragaoka-cho, shared its tap list for Tuesday, July 7. The newly tapped beer is [Minoh Beer](/app)’s limited-release Haikara Pils.
According to the brewery note included in the post, Haikara Pils is an Italian Pilsner with 5.5% ABV and 35 IBU. The recipe traces back to a collaboration that started about seven years ago with Tim from Oxbow Brewing in Maine, U.S. For this release, the beer has been refreshed with a new name and new design. German noble hops are used generously both during the brew and in dry hopping during fermentation, resulting in a pilsner with a soft malt profile, elegant hop aroma, and a clean bitterness.
Today’s tap list is:
- Minoh Beer / Haikara Pils
- Minoh Beer / Coffee IPA
- Nagisa Beer / Yamamomo Ale
The lineup gives drinkers three clearly different directions: a crisp limited pilsner, a coffee-leaning IPA, and a fruit-forward ale. For beer fans, it is the kind of list that makes side-by-side tasting easy and gives each glass a distinct role.
Opening hours are 5:00 p.m. to midnight on weekdays, and 4:00 p.m. to midnight on weekends and holidays. The post also notes that taki will operate every day throughout July. If you are in Shibuya and want to follow a fresh tap list without fuss, this is a straightforward stop.
