Hop BroSakura Taps in Hanasakicho, Yokohama is running with 8 taps on Sunday, April 12. It opens at 13:00 and closes at 23:30, so it’s a day for taking your time and drinking slowly.
MugiWhoa! It was already lively with an event the day before, and now it’s still this well stocked the next day? Both draft and bottle-conditioned beer? That place is a monster!
Hop BroThat’s exactly what makes Sakura Taps feel like Sakura Taps. It’s great how they keep a calm drinking atmosphere going while still riding the energy of Beer to Share SPIN-OFF.
MugiNow I’m curious! The newly tapped Triple Cone already sounds delicious from the name alone!
Hop BroWest Coast Brewing’s Triple Cone starts with tropical aromas, then layers in grapefruit and orange citrus, plus rounded notes that feel like peach and melon.
MugiOhhh! But West Coast Brewing sounds like a tough name, so is the flavor really that bright and colorful?
Hop BroYeah, but it finishes clean, so it doesn’t wear you out. And they’ve also added Unexpected, a Sakura Smoked Workshop x 254 Beer collaboration.
MugiUnexpected is a wild name too! And tripel? What is that, some kind of spell!?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a strong, aromatic Belgian-style beer. The banana and pear aromas are joined by citrus peel accents, making it rich but still easy to drink.
MugiI get it now! And with Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 too, plus lager, IPA, and gose all on the list, this is the kind of place where the tasting never stops.
Hop BroExactly. With such a broad lineup, the best move is to start light with your first glass, focus on aroma for the second, and finish with a collaboration beer.
MugiI’m totally hungry and thirsty now... I really want to raise a glass in Hanasakicho!
