Sakura Taps previews this Friday’s Juicy Things Friday with eight beers on tap
Sakura Taps in Yokohama’s Kannai area posted its weekly Friday update, highlighting the limited Juicy Things Friday taco plate and an eight-beer tap list. The lineup includes Namachan no Ura IPA, Yoshida-machi Helles 2026, and more.
Hop BroThis week's Kannai pick, Sakura Taps' Friday lineup looks seriously good. It's Juicy Things Friday, and even without a fresh keg, those 8 taps still hit hard.
MugiWhat? No new tappings but still strong? That sounds like beer-nerd grading on expert mode!
Hop BroThe lineup is stacked. Namachan's Secret IPA is on, plus Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 and Kin-Oni Pale Ale Strata Ver., so the bench is deep.
MugiHold on, Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 sounds like a neighborhood, a password, and a sci-fi sequel at the same time!
Hop BroHelles is basically a crisp pale lager. It's light on its feet, neatly bitter, and really good at making food taste even better.
MugiOoh! That sounds perfect with tacos. A three-taco plate already has my Friday stomach making plans.
Hop BroExactly. They use 100% masa tortilla in that small 10 cm format, then fill it with carnitas, white fish rillette, and grilled banana with cream cheese.
MugiWait, what is 100% masa? Why did this suddenly turn into a delicious chemistry class?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it's proper corn-dough tortilla. The aroma stands up well, so it can hang with fruity stuff like Apple Hop Fuji or characterful beers like BPM 80.
MugiI love that. These eight taps have personality before you even taste them. Freestyle Sandbox Vol.8 and Laundry Day already sound fun to order.
Hop BroAnd it's easy to choose by mood. Go hoppy with Kin-Oni Pale Ale Strata Ver., go clean with the Helles, then finish on the Alt and I'd happily drink the whole arc.
MugiThat's it, I want a pint right now. Give me Juicy Things Friday, a tray of tacos, and a run from the Secret IPA onward.
Sakura Taps, the beer pub on the second floor along Noraneko-dori in Yoshida-machi, Yokohama, said there are no new beer openings today. Instead, it pointed to this week’s Friday-only special, `Juicy Things Friday`. The food is a three-taco plate featuring carnitas, whitefish rillette, and grilled banana with cream cheese. Each taco is built on a small 10 cm tortilla made with 100% masa corn flour, making it a natural match for beer.
The day’s tap list features eight beers:
- なまちゃんの裏IPA / NAMACHん Brewing
- 吉田町へレス 2026 / Sakura Taps × 沼津クラフト
- 金鬼ペールエール ストラータ Ver. / のぼりべつ地ビール 鬼伝説
- BPM 80 / Novel Craft Brewing
- アップルホップ ふじ / 南信州ビール
- Freestyle Sandbox Vol.8 / West Coast Brewing
- 洗濯日和 / しろすずめ
- アルト / 湘南ビール
It is a wide-ranging lineup, with collaboration beer, IPA, helles, pale ale, fruit-forward beer, and altbier all represented by name. That gives regulars and first-time visitors plenty of room to choose between a lighter pour, a hop-forward pint, or something a little more playful. At Sakura Taps, beer remains the center of the room, but food and music are woven in naturally.
