Hop BroBig taproom talk today: at Yokohama’s Sakura Taps, the July 2 featured pour is Fill Brewing’s ‘SLASH N’ FILL.’
MugiWhat! SLASH N’ FILL sounds like a wrestling finisher! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a Pineapple Hazy IPA made with Okinawan pineapple, so the tropical angle is doing real work here.
MugiOkay, but Hazy IPA means what exactly? Did somebody turn beer into a smoothie?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a cloudy IPA where the hop aroma comes across softer and juicier, even though it’s still very much beer.
Hop BroAnd this one is a special festival brew made for Naha beer bar BEER SLASH heading to Kobe Beer Jamboree, with citrusy hop aroma layered over pineapple.
MugiHold on, citrusy hop aroma is one of your sneaky beer-wizard phrases again, isn’t it?!
Hop BroIt just means grapefruit-and-lemon vibes in the aroma. Add pineapple, and suddenly your glass feels like a beach trip.
MugiThat sounds like a vacation in a pint! If it’s not too sweet, I’d crush that fast.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal. Sakura Taps has eight taps total up on the second floor in Yoshidamachi, from the local ‘Yoshidamachi Helles 2026’ to collab pours like ‘Lactophilia.’
MugiThat is perfect! A hideaway beer pub with a lineup like that is not a detour, it’s the whole plan.
Hop BroI’d still start with that pineapple-scented haze and raise a glass right there. This lineup makes you thirsty just reading it.
Sakura Taps on July 2
Sakura Taps, a beer pub on the second floor of Nora Neko Street in Hanasaki-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, shared its tap list for Thursday, July 2. Known for its relaxed, hidden-gem atmosphere, the bar introduced one new beer that day: Fill Brewing’s `SLASH N’ FILL`.
`SLASH N’ FILL` is the second Pineapple Hazy IPA made with Okinawan pineapple. It was specially brewed for BEER SLASH in Naha, Okinawa, for its appearance at the Kobe Beer Jamboree. The beer is described as a hazy yellow IPA with a double hit of fruity, citrus-driven hop aroma and pineapple character. It is presented as juicy but not overly sweet, with an easygoing drinkability.
The day’s lineup covered eight taps, ranging from fruity hazy styles to collaboration beers and local favorites.
- All you need is Flower / Yorocco Beer
- Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft
- Missing Panda / Shirosuzume
- Oaxaca / Cycad Brewing
- Erykah / Barbaric Works
- Montara / Uittenten Jozo
- SLASH N’ FILL / Fill Brewing

What makes Sakura Taps distinctive is the mix: local Yokohama character alongside beers from breweries across Japan. The upstairs location in Yoshidamachi also gives it a tucked-away feel, making it a good stop when you want to sit down and pay attention to each glass.
With a tropical new release leading the board and a varied supporting cast around it, July 2 offered a tap list built for comparison drinking and casual discovery.
