Sakura Taps Will Operate with an 8-Tap Lineup on April 17, Featuring Yorocco Beer's TOBIUO Saison 2026 and More
Sakura Taps, the beer pub in Yoshida-machi, Yokohama, has released its draft beer lineup for Friday, April 17. There will be no new taps opened that day, but eight beers of varying character will be on tap, including Yorocco Beer’s "TOBIUO Saison 2026" and West Coast Brewing’s "Triple Cone."
Hop BroSakura Taps in Yoshida-machi, Yokohama is lining up April 17 with an 8-tap setup. Even without any new taps opening, today is clearly a day to let the character of the existing kegs shine.
MugiWait, no new taps opened and it can still be that fun!? If anything, it feels like the current lineup is the real test, which makes me even more curious!
Hop BroFirst up is Yorocco Beer’s TOBIUO Saison 2026, and it has that light saison character going for it. The yeast-driven spiciness and dry finish make it a perfect first pour.
MugiOhhh! But yeast-driven sounds like the beer might start talking on its own... what is that, kind of scary but also tasty!
Hop BroNot scary at all. It just means the yeast is creating the aroma. Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft’s Yoshida-machi Helles 2026 adds that crisp lager finish on top, so it really stands out as a signature beer with the shop’s name on it.
MugiA beer with the shop’s name on it feels extra special! Just hearing signature beer makes me feel like, from the first sip, I’m already saying, “I’m at this place!”
Hop BroThen when West Coast Brewing’s Triple Cone and FARMENTRY’s No.03 Yayoi IPA #2 are on the list, the expressions of hops change completely. It’s interesting how the range stretches from strongly aromatic beers to ones that really let you feel the depth of the malt.
MugiWhoa, the names already sound intense! The range for tasting side by side is so wide that even thinking about the order sounds fun.
Hop BroExactly. With Mugi Zakkoku Kobo’s Ogawa Porter and Baeren x Highbury’s ONMEN BRÄU in the mix too, there’s real depth from dark beer and collaborations. And once Sakura Smoked Workshop x 254 Beer’s Unexpected comes in, the smoky aroma changes the whole atmosphere.
MugiSmoky aroma, what’s that! You mean a smoky fragrance? Wait, can beer really give you a campfire vibe too!?
Hop BroExactly that. And inside the shop, SakuraTaps Music Select50 is playing too, with 50-song playlists split into a first half and second half. Once beer aroma and music layer together like that, the atmosphere gets almost unfairly cozy.
MugiAnd if it opens at 15:00 and closes at 23:30, you can go from daytime drinking all the way into the night! If I could slowly work through these eight beers in Yokohama, I’d probably never want to leave!
Hop BroI get that feeling. Today is definitely a slow-drinking kind of day at Sakura Taps, and with Tabelog reservations available, it makes you want to line up the glasses and attack them one by one.
MugiAlright, I’m already in let’s have a drink now mode! On a day like this, I’d want to start with the saison, move to the Helles, and finish with the smoked styles while happily spiraling deeper and deeper into the lineup!

Looking at the lineup, it spans a wide range of styles, from saison, Helles, and IPA to porter and collaboration brews with rauchbier-like character, making it easy to compare each beer’s personality one by one. In particular, "Yoshida-machi Helles 2026" is a collaboration beer bearing the shop’s name, and it is one to watch as a beer that really captures the Sakura Taps identity.
The shop offers a relaxed space where guests can enjoy craft beer and coffee, with eight taps prepared daily. The background music for the second half of April has been switched to "SakuraTaps Music Select50," and the shop says it is playing a playlist of 50 songs divided into a first half and second half.
