MugiWhoa, that name sounds intense! The depths of Muspelheim already feels like a boss battle is about to start!
Hop BroBut the beer itself has real substance, with a rich malt sweetness topped by caramel toastiness. It's a pretty hefty, satisfying beer.
MugiI get the caramel part, but what do you mean by peat nuances? That suddenly sounds like a very adult word!
Hop BroTo put it simply, peat gives a smoky impression from the malt-making process. That's what makes this beer interesting: a gentle smoky aroma that floats up softly.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just sweet, it also has that smoky edge. And the out-of-stock pork heart arrabbiata is back too, so even the snack game is strong!
Hop BroExactly. The savoriness and spice of the offal dish pair nicely with the beer's malt character and peat aroma, so it's also excellent as a beer to enjoy with food.
MugiWow, that's the kind of drink you just can't stop at one of! And Sakura Taps has eight rotating taps plus coffee too? That sounds way too comfortable!
Hop BroThe interior is calm too, and the location on the second floor of Nora-neko Street is great. It's a space where you can take your time and enjoy it, so it's perfect for a day when you want to drink slowly.
MugiAnd if it opens at 15:00 and closes at 23:30, you can swing by after work! A drink before the long weekend already sounds amazing just hearing it!
Hop BroOn Tuesdays it's apparently just Nuts Ojisan and Chiharu running the place, so having a solid drink at a relaxed pace on a night like that sounds like a really good time.
MugiI can't take it anymore, just talking about it makes my throat remember beer! A caramel-scented pint is making me want to toast right now!
New Tap
On April 28, Sakura Taps newly put "Depths of Muspelheim / MAHOWBREW" on tap. Rich, sweet malt aromas are layered with the toasty aroma of deep caramel and gently rising smoky peat nuances, making for a substantial, medium-full-bodied beer with real heft.
Pairing with Food
That day, the previously out-of-stock "Pork Heart and Celery Arrabbiata" was also remade. Its offal-derived savoriness and spice seem like a good match for the beer's malt character and peat aroma. Though grounded and weighty in flavor, it remains approachable as a beer to enjoy with food, which is part of this label's appeal.
The Atmosphere
Sakura Taps is a beer pub located in Hanasakicho, Naka Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Situated on the second floor on Yoshidamachi's Nora-neko Street, the interior has a calm atmosphere. Craft beer is offered on eight rotating taps every day, and hand-drip coffee is also available, making it an easy spot not only for people who want to savor beer slowly, but also for those who want to relax over a meal.
