Yokohama's Yoshidamachi beer pub Sakura Taps has released its tap list for Monday, May 25, from 15:00 to 23:30. The lineup features eight beers, including the West Coast Brewing x Inkhorn Brewing collaboration, plus Minoh Beer x Mikkeller, Black Tide Brewing, and more.
Hop BroYokohama's Yoshidamachi Sakura Taps has all 8 beers on tap from 15:00-23:30 on Monday, May 25. Right away, it's calling for an after-work drink, isn't it?
MugiWait, eight kinds!? And it even has standing room - isn't that too good for a spontaneous stop? With 8 counter seats and 6 table seats, it sounds great for days when you want to relax too!
Hop BroThe one to watch is definitely West Coast Brewing x Inkhorn Brewing's Super Fresh. With a collaboration, both breweries' ideas go into the same kettle, so you tend to get a big aromatic punch.
MugiWhat is that!? The name already sounds refreshing, but what does collaboration chemistry even mean? When you mix them, does it turn fluffy? Or thick?
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Sakura Taps and Numazu Craft's Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 is stylish. Helles is a lager style, and its appeal is the restrained malty sweetness and crisp finish, so it fits the Yoshidamachi vibe perfectly.
MugiOhh, I like that local feel! Also, Minoh Beer x Mikkeller's Ume-chu sounds like something plum-wine-like, right? The name alone already sounds delicious!
Hop BroAnd with Bighand Bros. Beer's Kurgantaite, Shiga Kogen Beer's from scratch / a blonde ale, Black Tide Brewing's Kesennuma Pride ver. 12.1, Shiokaze Brew Lab's Shibakuzo! 2026, and Uchoten Brewing's Black Boxxx, it's packed with standout picks. The styles and the names both cover a huge range, so it's a fun lineup for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, Shibakuzo! 2026 is way too intense, isn't it!? With a beer name like that on the board, my brain starts an entire martial arts tournament on its own!
Hop BroBut because Sakura Taps doesn't have many seats, the good thing is how close you can get to the beer. You can follow the aroma and temperature changes slowly, so the strength is being able to enjoy the differences across eight beers in a calm way.
MugiI see, this is definitely a Yokohama drink candidate! Today both the collab and the Helles look tempting, and now I want to take my time drinking on the second floor in Yoshidamachi too!
Hop BroExactly, and since weekends can get crowded, going early for the beer you want is the rule. I'm already feeling like starting with Super Fresh or Yoshidamachi Helles.
MugiThen I'm coming too! I want to toast at Sakura Taps and spend the night drinking slowly while wrapped in the aroma of the collaborations!
Yokohama's Yoshidamachi beer pub Sakura Taps has published today's operating information and draft beer lineup for Monday, May 25. Hours are 15:00-23:30.
