Sakazuki Lab launches 3rd renovation anniversary week from July 15, featuring limited beer "Yakan Hikou"
Sakazuki Lab in Adachi, Tokyo, will hold a renovation 3rd anniversary event from July 15 to 19. The lineup includes a Lab-only special brew called "Yakan Hikou" and other anniversary-themed offerings.
Hop BroSakazuki Lab’s third anniversary week is a pretty fun one. It runs from July 15 to 19, and they’re pouring a Lab-only beer called “Night Flight.”
MugiWait, that beer name already sounds cool! Is it one of those sharp, bitter grown-up beers, or is it secretly a gentle one?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part, it’s a pale mild style. It’s built on Maris Otter ale malt, aiming for a bready aroma with a sweet, toasty character.
MugiHold on, Maris Otter malt sounds like a wizard spell! It sounds powerful, but what does that actually taste like for normal people like me?
Hop BroIn simple terms, think fresh-baked bread vibes. Then add a bit of caramel and light roast, keep the bitterness low, and the ABV stays under 3.5%, so it drinks very softly.
MugiOh, nice! Under 3.5% ABV sounds super approachable. Craft beer can feel intimidating, but that seems perfect even for an early first glass.
Hop BroAnd the serving is where they really lean in: three different pours. No gas, nitro serving, and CO2 serving, so the same beer shows three different faces.
MugiWhat is that! Nitro serving sounds like beer with sci-fi upgrades. Does it get fluffy, or does the bar suddenly turn into a chemistry lab?
Hop BroHonestly, both, and that fits because it’s a lab-like concept shop. Nitro makes it creamy, CO2 feels brisker, and no gas lets the malt sweetness come through more directly.
MugiThen it’s officially a side-by-side tasting mission! A North Senju anniversary week where you can compare all that sounds way too fun to miss.
Hop BroExactly, it’s the beer I want right now too. This feels like the kind of anniversary event that makes you want to drink the idea as much as the beer itself.
Sakazuki Lab in Adachi, Tokyo, is celebrating the third anniversary of its renovation with an event running from July 15 to July 19. Based in Kitasenju, the bar has served as an experimental space for the Sakazuki brand, focusing on different ways to enjoy beer and on carefully considered service styles.
The highlight of the week is "Yakan Hikou," a Lab-exclusive special brew in the pale mild style. Built on the bready malt character of Maris Otter ale malt, it layers in caramel and lightly roasted malts for a sweet, toasty profile. The beer is designed to stay gentle and approachable, with an alcohol content of 3.5% or lower and very restrained bitterness. It is also offered in multiple serving formats, including still, nitro, and carbonated presentations, so drinkers can compare how the same beer changes in the glass.
The anniversary campaign reflects what Sakazuki Lab does best: treating beer as something to study, adjust, and present in different forms. Rather than simply pouring a limited release, the team emphasizes how the beer is served and experienced. For craft beer fans in Kitasenju, this anniversary week is a clear chance to visit the Lab at an especially interesting moment.
