Sakura Taps Lists Eight Draft Beers in Yokohama, Calls for Tap Takeovers
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps shared its eight-beer draft lineup for October 20, 2026. The selection ranges from classic pilsner and pale ale to rice IPA, saison, and imperial stout, with Stopphobia noted as running low.
Hop BroSakura Taps in Yokohama’s Yoshidamachi has eight draft beers lined up for October 20. From familiar styles to wild cards, those taps are looking lively.
MugiEight kinds?! And their post says “Keg killers wanted!” That is an impressively dramatic invitation for a beer pub!
Hop BroIt was apparently quieter after the previous day’s Noge Festival, which made it a great day to chat with the staff. First up: Aoonikaze Pilsner from Oni Densetsu and Spice & Booze.
MugiI picture pilsners as light and bitter! But Motueka and Nelson Sauvin sound like names from a spellbook. What are they?
Hop BroThey’re hop varieties. Aoonikaze gets white-grape-like aromas and citrus notes from them, so it drinks crisp while smelling bright—a fragrant, refreshing pilsner.
MugiWhoa! Then Minoh Beer’s Kansha 29 is a 29th-anniversary Rice IPA—does that mean rice goes into the beer? It doesn’t taste like a rice ball, right?
Hop BroNo rice-ball flavor, don’t worry! Rice can make the body—basically the beer’s weight in your mouth—feel lighter. Add expressive American hops and you get a light, aromatic IPA.
MugiThere’s Pale Ale, Chromatic Blast, KAERU, and then Serrano Saison?! Is that serrano pepper heat trying to pick a fight with beer?
Hop BroIt’s more likely to make friends with food. Serrano Saison, made by Gogoshima Farm, Enchan Farm, and Hatakeyurai, has a clean spicy kick. Meanwhile, Hideji Beer’s Kurikuro is a rich chestnut stout.
MugiRoasted-barley coffee notes, chestnut paste, and a deep body… there’s even an autumn-dessert option! But Totopia’s Stopphobia is running low, right?
Hop BroExactly—Stopphobia, or “fear of stopping,” is probably the one to order early. From crisp pours to rich Kurikuro, check the current taps at Sakura Taps and let’s raise a glass tonight!
MugiDone! I don’t want to miss Stopphobia, and I need to try Aoonikaze and Kurikuro too… I already want to drink in Yokohama!
Eight beers on tap at Sakura Taps
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Hanazaki-cho, Yokohama, published its draft lineup for October 20. The post, titled “撃ち抜きもとむ！”—a call for guests to finish the kegs—said the previous day had been quiet after the Noge Festival. That quieter pace allowed the staff to spend more time talking with individual guests.
The lineup featured eight beers. “Aoni-style,” brewed by Onidensetsu with Spice & Booze, is a pilsner made with Motueka and Nelson Sauvin hops, offering white-grape-like aromatics, citrus notes, and balanced bitterness. Minoh Beer’s “Kansha 29” is a commemorative Rice IPA with a light body from rice and expressive American hop aromas.
“Pale Ale” from Gujo Hachiman Beer Kobokobo brings a drinkable profile with grapefruit-like hop character. Paint Palette Brewing’s “Chromatic Blast” and Faló Brewing’s “KAERU” were also available.
“Serrano Saison,” made by Gogoshima Beer Farm, Enchan Farm, and Hatakeyurai, combines the clean heat of serrano peppers with saison yeast spice and hop aroma. Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s “Kuri Kuro” is an imperial stout brewed with roasted barley and chestnut paste, delivering coffee-like roast, refined chestnut fragrance, and a rich body.
The final tap was Totopia Brewery’s “Stopphobia.” Sakura Taps noted that this beer was running low, making it one of the taps to check first.
Sakura Taps is located on Noyaneko-dori in Yokohama’s Yoshidamachi area, where guests can enjoy craft beer, seasonal food, and music in a relaxed setting. Tap availability changes, so visitors should check the latest list before ordering.
