At Shibuya's TAKI, Nagisa Beer "Golden Ale" is Tapped, Along with Yamaguchi Jibiiru and HIGHBURY × Baeren
The beer pub TAKI in Sakuraoka-cho, Shibuya, released today’s tap list along with its business notice for Friday, May 1. On offer are Nagisa Beer’s "Golden Ale" from Wakayama, Yamaguchi Jibiiru’s "Hagi Yuzu Ale," and HIGHBURY × Baeren’s "On Menbroy."
Hop BroToday, the beer pub TAKI in Shibuya is going all in with a rotating lineup of three taps. Nagisa Beer’s "Golden Ale" from Wakayama, Hagi Yuzu Ale, and even HIGHBURY × Baeren’s On Menbroy are a pretty intriguing set.
MugiWhoa! There are too many beers here that already sound delicious just from the names. Golden Ale sounds all shiny and golden, right?
Hop BroExactly. The style is Golden Ale, and the ABV is 5.0%. It’s designed to go down smoothly in early summer, with gentle malt sweetness and hops that aren’t overly distinctive.
MugiOhhh. But if the hops are mild, won’t the flavor feel kind of blurry? That sounds a little unsatisfying...
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. It’s the kind of beer that doesn’t push bitterness, but instead lets the malt’s soft outline come through. It pairs well with food, so at a beer pub like TAKI, it’s a really strong choice as a beer to drink with a meal.
MugiI see! So it’s a beer that goes well with food. Ordering snacks first and then choosing the beer feels kind of like the move of a regular!
Hop BroAnd once Hagi Yuzu Ale comes into the mix, the whole table suddenly feels bright and citrusy. That Yamaguchi Jibiiru glass sounds like it would lift your mood with its yuzu notes too.
MugiWow, just imagining it feels refreshing! And there’s even a collaboration beer? Tasting them side by side sounds too fun!
Hop BroHaving HIGHBURY × Baeren’s On Menbroy on the list is very TAKI, with its playful spirit. From Shibuya Station’s west exit toward Sakuragaoka, on the 3rd floor of the Johnson Building, it’s great because you can drink slowly in a calm atmosphere.
MugiAnd 17:00 to 24:00 is perfect after work. If food last order is 23:00 and drinks last order is 23:30, that sounds like a relaxed night!
Hop BroExactly. Since the food is available both inside and as takeout, it’s really easy to use as your first stop for Golden Week. Today at TAKI, starting with Nagisa Beer’s Golden Ale makes you want to keep trying different beers.
MugiDecided! I’m starting with the Golden Ale, then chasing it with Hagi Yuzu Ale! I want to head to Shibuya right now and get my throat ready for beer!
At the beer pub TAKI, located on the 3rd floor of the Shibuya Johnson Building at 17-12 Sakuragaoka-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, after walking from Shibuya Station’s west exit toward the Sakuragaoka area, the business notice for Friday, May 1, along with today’s tap list, was announced. TAKI is known as a place that offers craft beers and sake selected from all over Japan, and its appeal lies in being able to enjoy a drink in a relaxed atmosphere.
The highlight of the day is the limited-batch "Golden Ale" sent from Nagisa Beer in Wakayama. In the post, the brewery introduces it as a beer suited to early summer, noting the gentle malt-derived sweetness and the pairing with a hop profile that is not overly assertive. The style is listed as Golden Ale, with an ABV of 5.0%, suggesting a formulation that makes it easy to pair with food.
The tap list also includes Yamaguchi Jibiiru’s "Hagi Yuzu Ale" and HIGHBURY × Baeren’s "On Menbroy." The citrusy nuances of "Hagi Yuzu Ale" and the collaboration beer, where the personalities of two breweries intersect, make for a fun side-by-side tasting experience. Being able to follow a lineup with different expressions in each glass is very much in line with TAKI’s style of rotating its three taps by the keg.
Business hours today are 17:00 to 24:00, with food last order at 23:00 and drinks last order at 23:30. In addition to dine-in service, the food is also available for takeout, making it easy to choose snacks to go with the beer. As a place to stop by during Golden Week, it’s one to remember for days when you want to spend some time drinking craft beer carefully and at leisure in Shibuya.
