Nagisa Beer’s Southern Pils tapped at taki in Shibuya
Taki, a beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka area, announced a new tap of Nagisa Beer’s limited-release Southern Pils on July 17. The day’s tap list also includes beers from Ise Kadoya Beer, Iwatekura Beer, and Ushitora Brewery.
Hop Brotaki in Shibuya just tapped Southern Pils, and my throat has already clocked in before the rest of me.
MugiWhat! Southern Pils sounds like the kind of beer that comes with sea breeze and dramatic hair.
Hop BroThe name is great, but the liquid backs it up too. It's a limited release from Nagisa Beer in Wakayama, and the style is NZ Pilsner, 6.0% ABV with a really clean finish.
MugiWhoa, but what does defined NZ hop character even mean? Do the hops have cheekbones now?
Hop BroNo cheekbones, just personality. Riwaka, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin bring bright aromatic layers, so the citrus and white-grape notes stay clear instead of getting muddled.
MugiThat sounds absurdly fancy! And if it's IBU 24, I won't make that face where my eyebrows try to escape?
Hop BroExactly. The bitterness stays measured and the finish is crisp, so it goes down easy. And taki also did a Tap List refresh, which makes the whole board stronger.
MugiWait, there's more? When you say wide tasting range, who else is on the list?
Hop BroIsekadoya Beer's Ohisama Ale, Iwatekura Beer's Japanese Spice Ale Sansho, and Ushitora Brewery's Kome PA, so it's from sansho to rice with a totally different personality in every glass.
MugiThat is dangerously convincing. It's south of Shibuya Station too, so a post-work pint could turn into a full beer field trip.
Hop BroWeekdays run from 5 p.m. to midnight, so it's easy to settle in and do it properly. Starting with beer with dinner and opening on Southern Pils sounds like a very solid night.
MugiSold. We start with Southern Pils for the snap, then hit the sansho and the Kome PA after that. Meet at taki now before my self-control ferments away!
At `taki`, a beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka neighborhood, the team announced a new tap for Friday, July 17: Nagisa Beer’s limited release `Southern Pils`. The beer is listed as an NZ Pilsner with 6.0% ABV and 24 IBU. According to the brewery note shared in the post, it features bright aroma and a clean, crisp finish from Riwaka, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin hops.
The day’s tap list also includes `Ohisama Ale` from Ise Kadoya Beer, `Japanese Spice Ale Sansho` from Iwatekura Beer, and `Kome PA` from Ushitora Brewery. Together, the lineup offers a broad range of styles, from hop-forward pilsner character to a citrus-leaning ale, a sansho-spiced beer, and a rice-based pale ale.
`taki` is a beer pub that also serves Japanese sake, located on the third floor of the Johnson Building in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka area. Hours are Monday to Friday from 17:00 to 24:00 and Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays from 16:00 to 24:00. Last orders are 23:00 for food and 23:30 for drinks. That makes it a practical stop for a quick pint after work or a slower session with food.
For drinkers looking for a clearly defined NZ Pilsner alongside a varied tap list, this is the kind of update worth noting. The post points to a lineup that balances hop aroma, easy drinking, and food-friendly options in one Shibuya spot.
