Sakura Taps taps Craftrock Brewing × AGARIHAMA IPA on June 19
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps shared its tap lineup for Friday, June 19. The new pour is ONE HAND DANK, an American IPA from Craftrock Brewing × AGARIHAMA. The day’s lineup spans eight beers, with three slider options available for pairing.
Hop BroToday’s highlight is the new tap at Sakura Taps. On June 19, they opened Craftrock Brewing × AGARIHAMA’s “ONE HAND DANK.”
MugiWhat! ONE HAND DANK already sounds intense. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s an American IPA, built with dank character, grassy bitterness, and layers of citrus aroma and flavor, so the profile feels really defined.
MugiHold on, what does dank mean!? That suddenly sounded like a secret beer spell!
Hop BroThink of it as green, punchy hop aroma. A mix of grassy and resin-like notes that hits your nose in a very IPA way.
MugiOhhh, nice! If it also has citrus aroma, then it’s not just bitter, it sounds bright too.
Hop BroAnd this one is a collaboration from Okinawa, with AGARIHAMA from Yonabaru and Craftrock Brewing connecting through basketball, which is a great backstory.
MugiNo way, a basketball-born IPA? That has big energy. Even the beer feels like teamwork.
Hop BroThe full list has eight beers on tap, including tea bitter, Yoshidamachi Helles 2026, dark styles like Schwarz, and more, so the lineup is nicely varied.
MugiAnd they’ve got three kinds of sliders, right? Smash lamb, mackerel escabeche, and smoked honey with blue cheese. My stomach is already there.
Hop BroExactly. With Juicy Things Friday, it’s basically a pairing paradise. IPA is the obvious move, but trying it with helles or bitter would be smart too.
MugiAt Yokohama’s Yoshidamachi, on the second floor of Nora Neko Street, open from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m.? That absolutely makes me want a drink tonight.
