Hop BroTaki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining on Dogenzaka in Shibuya is open on 3/18 from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and for the first two hours there's a Happy Time with drinks 100 yen off!
MugiWhat! That is basically a blessing after work. Two hours of discounts right after opening is almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd the guest feature is a new tap: Hitachino Nest's White Ale is the star.
MugiWhite Ale means a white beer? What even is that? Does it mean it looks and tastes lighter?
Hop BroIt's a wheat-malt-based style with coriander, orange peel, and nutmeg, so the aroma is built around esters and phenols.
MugiHere come the technical terms! My brain just turned into foam! What even are esters!?
Hop BroPut simply, it's a balance of fruity aromas and spicy aromas. That's why it has a refreshing, soft mouthfeel and works well as a first beer.
MugiOhhh! And it said three taps too, right? So it's a day for tasting side by side!
Hop BroExactly. COEDO's "Marihana" is a Session IPA, and Yokohama Bay's "Bay Dark" is a Bohemian Dark Lager, so it's hot that you can rotate through three beers with totally different directions in one night.
MugiWouldn't you win if you paired that with Japanese snacks and the daily specials? Both beer and food are the main event sounds incredible!
Hop BroThe place is at Daini Daiban Building 404 near Shibuya Station, and today the first beer is definitely White Ale.
MugiDeal! Then let's go for Happy Time, because I want to head to Shibuya right now!
The beer pub Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining in Dogenzaka, Shibuya announced its operating information for 3/18 (Wed). Business hours are 5:00 p.m. to midnight (L.O. 11:00 p.m.). In addition, for the first two hours after opening, drinks will be 100 yen off during the regular “Akane's Happy Time.”
The highlight this time is Hitachino Nest Beer “White Ale”, introduced in the post as a newly tapped beer. It is presented as a wheat-style beer made with spices such as coriander, orange peel, and nutmeg, and is described as having a refreshing aroma and a soft mouthfeel. It is easy to pair with food and is the kind of beer that works well as a first glass.
The draft beer lineup for the day consists of three taps:
- Hitachino Nest Beer “White Ale”
- COEDO “Marihana” (Session IPA)
- Yokohama Bay Brewing “Bay Dark” (Bohemian Dark Lager)
From a light and crisp white ale, to a hop-forward session IPA, to a roasty dark lager, the lineup lets you compare three beers with very different directions. It is a selection you can enjoy with Japanese snacks and the day’s special dishes while switching styles to match your mood.
The shop is located at Daini Daiban Building 404, near Shibuya Station on Dogenzaka. True to the shop's focus on Japanese craft beer and sake, it is an easy-to-build-in business day whether you are coming for the beer or for the food.
