Sakura Taps introduces the Kaou Beer / Barbaric Works × Kaou dark lager; staff recruitment continues
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps announced its part-time staff recruitment while introducing a newly tapped "Kaou Beer / Barbaric Works × Kaou." Brewed to go with mapo tofu, the dark lager is characterized by roasted aroma and an easy-drinking finish.
Hop BroAt Sakura Taps in Yokohama, a new keg of Kaou Beer has been tapped. This time it's a collaboration with Barbaric Works, and it's a dark lager brewed to go with mapo tofu.
MugiWhat! They brewed beer to go with mapo tofu!? The dish-first idea is way too incredible, and now I feel like my stomach is being called out!
Hop BroThe key is that it isn't just dark; it brings out the umami of the black malt while keeping the burnt edge under control. It has the calmness you'd expect from a dark lager, but a soft mouthfeel.
MugiSo a dark lager is a dark lager? Dark but easy-drinking is kind of messing with my head!
Hop BroIn short, it has a solid look and aroma, but the finish isn't too heavy. Because it has an elegant richness, it pairs well with the heat and umami of mapo.
MugiI get it! That sounds like something you'd want to gulp down after spicy food. It really feels perfect as a food-pairing beer, and the match sounds amazing.
Hop BroWhat's more, the taps inside the shop are interesting, with eight diverse draft beers lined up. Radlers, hazies, saisons, and even ales that evoke cherry blossoms can all be compared in one place.
MugiWait, it's a comparison-tasting paradise! OBAKE and LEMON RADLER and all the rest, just the names are making me excited!
Hop BroSakura Taps is a beer pub where you can casually enjoy craft beer and coffee, and it's good at suggesting food pairings too. This post makes the pairing angle very clear, and the shop's character really comes through.
MugiAnd if they're still recruiting part-timers, it really feels like the shop's current moment is on display! If I worked at a place like this, I don't think my beer cravings would ever stop!
Hop BroExactly. The whole article conveys Sakura Taps as it is right now. If you go looking for one beer that goes with mapo tofu, you'll probably end up wanting to follow every tap on the board too.
MugiYeah, just reading it makes my throat tighten! I want to toast right now, so this gives me another reason to go to Yokohama!
