Augs Beer, COEDO Kyara, and Shiro Hono Ka Served at Shibuya's Taki~AKANE~; Opens at 5 p.m. on April 30
Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, April 30. For the first two hours after opening, a happy hour will be held, and in addition to three draft beers, two kinds of sake will also be available that day.
Hop BroIn Dogenzaka, Shibuya, April 30 opening at 5 p.m. Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining is running a really nice service. For the first two hours after opening, there's happy hour, so there is a solid reason to stop by early.
MugiWait, you can drink that early? The name Akane's Happy Time! is cute too, and it makes me want to go even if it is not after work.
Hop BroToday's draft beers are three kinds: Tokyo's Augs Beer Original (Pilsner), Saitama's COEDO Kyara, and Sapporo's Shiro Hono Ka.
MugiWhat is Pilsner exactly? I've heard the name, but I still do not really know how it's different.
Hop BroPilsner is a crisp, easy-drinking lager, where finish matters more than aroma. So Augs' Original is the kind of beer I'd call a first-pint beer.
MugiNice! Then what kind of beer is COEDO's Kyara? The malt character of an IPL sounds kind of strong, and I'm curious!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager, and what's interesting is that it keeps the lager's clean drinkability while still having hop aroma. Kyara adds malty richness on top of that, so tasting them side by side is fun.
MugiIf Shiro Hono Ka is on the list too, there is a softer style in there too. Soft mouthfeel sounds like something I'd keep drinking forever~.
Hop BroThat's right. Since this place is a beer pub centered on both beer and sake, small salty dishes like black edamame, iburigakko, and sake lees cream cheese go really well with it.
MugiEven spring salad and fried oysters are on the menu? That's almost unfair! Just hearing a drink in Dogenzaka makes me want to take a detour.
Hop BroAnd they also have Fukukai and Amabuki for sake, so the flow of starting with beer and ending with sake is really nice. Tonight makes me want to go with tasting comparisons in mind.
MugiYeah, three draft beers and two sakes is amazing! I'm in the mood to decide on this as the first stop tonight.
Draft Beer on April 30
Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining (Dogenzaka, Shibuya) will be open from 5 p.m. to midnight on Thursday, April 30. For the first two hours after opening, "Akane's Happy Time!" is scheduled, making it easy to sample the draft beers early in the evening.
Beers Available That Day
There are three draft beers. The lineup includes Tokyo's Augs Beer "Original (Pilsner)," Saitama's COEDO "Kyara (IPL)," and Sapporo Beer "Shiro Hono Ka." It is a set that makes it easy to compare beers with different directions: the drinkability of a pilsner, the maltiness of an IPL, and the soft mouthfeel of Shiro Hono Ka.
Shop Features and Pairings
The shop is a beer pub centered on Japanese craft beer and sake, operating as the second location of Shibuya's "Taki." In the calm setting of Dogenzaka, it is easy to use for an after-work drink or a small-group gathering. The food menu is centered on items that pair well with beer, such as black edamame, iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese, spicy potato fries, a spring salad with new onions, sakura shrimp, and shirasu, and fried oysters. The appeal is in enjoying the draft beer as the main attraction, paired with salty small plates.
Sake Also Available
The sake for the day is Nagasaki's Fukukai Nama Yamadanishiki and Saga's Amabuki Jun Gin Chokarakuchi Junmai Nama "Poseidon." After drinking beer, it is easy to switch to sake to finish the night. It is a lineup suited to people who want to enjoy both craft beer and sake in one evening.
