Shibuya: Taki〜AKANE〜 to Be Closed on May 20, a Japanese Craft Beer and Pairing Bar
The beer pub "Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, announced that it will be closed on Wednesday, May 20. The shop, which lines up craft beers and sake from around Japan on a daily rotating basis, also has an appealing latest draft lineup.
Hop BroThe 14-seat beer pub in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining, will be closed on Wednesday, May 20, 2026.
MugiHuh, even a day off becomes an article!? But a small counter kind of makes me even more curious!
Hop BroExactly. This place serves craft beer and sake from all over Japan on a daily rotating basis, and even on its official site it focuses on Japanese drinks and snacks.
MugiWait, what! So the food is the star too, not just the beer? Snacks that go well with drinks sounds serious!
Hop BroThat's right. From iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese, to fresh fish, oyster fry, and chicken nanban with shibazuke tartar sauce, it all has serious absorbing power.
MugiWhoa, shibazuke tartar!? That's definitely something that calls for drinks. Isn't that basically a food-craving runaway train?
Hop BroThe draft lineup was interesting too: Sankt Gallen's Shonan Gold, August Beer's August White, and Tamba-ji Brewery x VALLE SAGRADO's 8th Anniversary Beer.
MugiWhat's draft beer? You mean it comes from a keg instead of a can? What's different about poured on the spot?
Hop BroRight, because it comes from a keg, the aroma comes through more easily. Shonan Gold has a citrus character, and August White has a soft wheat impression, so you can enjoy the lift of the aroma.
MugiI see! After the day off, if I go there, I might end up looking for my next drink at that Dogenzaka spot!
Hop BroA closed day is just a pause, but on the next business day, Japanese drinks and food will be waiting again, so this is basically a reason to go out for a drink.
MugiYeah, I'll go for the oyster fry, and you can probably drink while explaining everything! Let's toast together next time!
