Shibuya’s Taki〜AKANE〜, final business day on May 30; opens at 2 p.m. with three craft beers on tap
The beer pub Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, its final business day. For the first two hours after opening, guests can enjoy three kinds of draft craft beer at 100 yen off during the “Akane Happy Time.”
Hop BroTaki〜AKANE〜 in Shibuya’s Dogenzaka is closing on May 30. And the best part is it opens at 2 p.m., so you can properly drink from the afternoon.
MugiWhat, it’s the final business day!? And it’s open from 2 p.m.? That’s basically a day made for daytime drinkers!
Hop BroExactly. For the first two hours after opening, it’s Akane Happy Time, with 100 yen off. As a shop policy, I think that’s pretty thoughtful.
MugiWhat! That’s such a deal! So the beers are three drafts, right?
Hop BroThe lineup is Tokyo Augs Beer Original pilsner, Saitama COEDO Kyara IPL, and Sapporo Beer Shirohonoka. Each one goes in a completely different flavor direction, so it’s a fun set for comparing them.
MugiWait, what’s IPL? I get pilsner, but IPL suddenly sounds all science-y and hard!
Hop BroIPL stands for India Pale Lager. Roughly speaking, it’s a lager with a solid hop presence. COEDO Kyara also has a toasty character, so it has depth beyond just bitterness.
MugiOhhh! Then Shirohonoka sounds gentle from the name, and with that soft mouthfeel, it seems like it would go down easy!
Hop BroExactly. And this is a small bar with Japanese craft beer and sake, with the calm feel of a 14-seat hideaway. Even though it’s in Dogenzaka, I like that it feels a little removed from the noise of the city.
MugiAnd they even have fresh fish sashimi, buri charcoal-grilled with salted rice malt, and iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese. Isn’t that cheating? With snacks this good, I could keep going with beer and sake forever...!
Hop BroOn the final day, May 30, the beer on tap and the ingredients may be reduced, so earlier is the way to go. Even I feel like having one from lunchtime now.
MugiMe too! Then let’s invite all the readers with the feeling of saying cheers in Shibuya today!
Final business day is May 30
The beer pub Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be open from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, May 30. The post says this day is being announced as the final business day, and for the first two hours after opening, guests can enjoy drinks at 100 yen off from the opening time as “Akane Happy Time.”
The shop is a small bar that stocks Japanese craft beer and sake carefully selected by the owner after traveling around Japan. With a capacity of 14 seats and a counter, its appeal is that you can calmly face each drink one at a time. Even though it is located in Dogenzaka within walking distance of Shibuya Station, it can be used like a “hideaway” a little removed from the bustle of the city.
Draft beers available that day
The draft lineup confirmed in the post is the following three:
- Tokyo: Augs Beer Original (Pilsner)
- Saitama: COEDO Kyara (IPL)
- Sapporo Beer Shirohonoka
The lineup brings together three brews with different directions, from the crispness of a pilsner to the toasty character and hop presence typical of an IPL, and the gentle drinking quality of Shirohonoka, making comparison tasting part of the fun. If pairing with food, sashimi of fresh fish and sake snacks such as “buri marinated in salted rice malt, charcoal-grilled” or iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese seem like a good match.
Business setup that makes daytime drinking easy
On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, it opens at 2 p.m., with last order at 10 p.m. It is easy to use for having a drink from the afternoon or for stopping in lightly to snack early, and it suits people who want to enjoy both craft beer and sake. Since the beer on tap and ingredients may be limited on the final business day, May 30, an earlier time slot seems best if there is a drink you want to target.
