Taki in Shibuya taps Nagisa Beer’s Yamamomo Ale with a rainy-day service
The Shibuya beer pub Taki announced a rainy-day service on June 27 and opened a new keg of Nagisa Beer’s limited Yamamomo Ale. The tap list also included three beers with distinct profiles.
Hop BroShibuya’s taki is running a rainy day service today, and they just put Nagisa Beer’s limited Yama Momo Ale on draft.
MugiWhat! Yama Momo Ale already sounds adorable. What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Kumano Berry Ale, ABV 5.0% and IBU 15, with tart yamamomo fruit, juicy character, and hop aroma holding it all together.
MugiHold on, IBU 15 suddenly sounds like chemistry class!
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale, so 15 means it should be much gentler than a punchy IPA and let the fruit stand out.
MugiOhh! So it’s basically a perfect early-summer beer that goes down super easily.
Hop BroAnd the tap list has three distinct pours: Shukuhai IPA, Ume-chu from Mikkeller TOKYO × Minoh Beer, and Yama Momo Ale.
MugiNo way, there’s even plum-tinged Ume-chu? It’s raining outside, but this lineup feels like a festival.
Hop BroThat’s taki for you. It’s a spot for craft beer and sake, so whether you want one glass or a tasting run, it works.
MugiI can already picture myself getting pulled straight to Johnson Building 3F like a cartoon smell trail.
Hop BroIt’s easy to drop by after work too, and sipping that light fruity profile with rain in the background sounds exactly right.
MugiThen it’s settled. Let’s start with a Yama Momo Ale toast and chase it with the IPA and Ume-chu after that!
Taki, a beer pub in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya, announced a rainy-day service on June 27. Located on the 3rd floor of the Shibuya Johnson Building, the bar focuses on Japanese craft beer and sake. It opens at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and 4:00 p.m. on weekends and holidays, making it an easy stop after work or on a weekend afternoon.
The highlight of the day was a newly tapped keg of Nagisa Beer’s limited Yamamomo Ale. Listed as a Kumano Berry Ale with 5.0% ABV and 15 IBU, it is described as a fruit beer with bright berry-like acidity, juicy fruit character, and a light, refreshing finish. It looks like a good match for the early-summer rainy season.
The tap list featured three beers with very different personalities:
1. Romanchic Village Brewery: Shukuhai IPA〜Romantic Village 30th Annibeersary IPA〜
2. Mikkeller TOKYO × Minoh Beer: Ume-chu
3. Nagisa Beer: Yamamomo Ale
Shukuhai IPA is the hop-forward choice, Ume-chu brings a plum-like fruit angle, and Yamamomo Ale leans into bright fruit character. For a pub like Taki, where the draft lineup changes regularly, each tap update reshapes the drinking experience. In Shibuya, it is a place where you can drop in for one beer or compare styles side by side.
