Sakura Taps opens CAMADO Brewery’s EX. Schwarz, refreshing its eight-tap lineup
Sakura Taps, a beer pub in Yokohama’s Yoshida-cho area, updated its tap list for Wednesday, July 15. The lineup is led by EX. Schwarz from CAMADO Brewery, alongside a Yoshida-cho collaboration beer and releases from breweries including Shiga Kogen, Nara Brewing, and Shima Brewery.
Hop BroSakura Taps just refreshed all 8 taps, and the headliner is CAMADO BREWERY's dark beer, EX. Schwarz. That's the kind of update that grabs your attention fast.
MugiWait, the star is a dark beer and it's still meant for summer? A summer-friendly dark beer sounds like a total plot twist!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. Schwarz is a dark beer style, and this one still gives you rich roasted malt without turning heavy or tiring.
MugiI can already tell you're about to say Kveik Ale Yeast like that's a normal casual phrase again. Here comes the beer wizard talk!
Hop BroYou caught me. What it means here is a clean, crisp finish: the aftertaste clears quickly, so even a dark beer feels easy to drink in warm weather.
MugiOkay, so instead of feeling like a winter boss fight, it's basically an easy-drinking dark beer? That suddenly makes perfect sense!
Hop BroAnd Sakura Taps also has Yoshidacho Helles 2026 on tap. It's a collab with Numazu Craft, and that local identity really fits the pub.
MugiA beer named after the shop and the neighborhood? That's basically local pride on tap. I'd want that as my first pour.
Hop BroThen you've got PERSONA, Shinshu Heion, Dunkel, Noroshi IPA, Haze Alliance, and an XPA too, so it's from dark to IPA with serious tasting range.
MugiAnd if it's an easy walk from Sakuragicho, it sounds great for a first stop around Yokohama and Noge. This calls for a full tasting plan!
Hop BroStarting in a cool pub with a dark beer for summer, then moving into the helles and IPA, is a pretty complete route. This article practically makes you thirsty.
MugiExactly! I want to get pulled straight into Noraneko Street and head for Sakura Taps right now. This absolutely makes me want a beer.
Sakura Taps sits on the second floor in Yokohama’s Yoshida-cho neighborhood and serves craft beer and coffee in a relaxed pub setting. For July 15, the bar is leaning into a lineup that feels especially welcome on a hot summer day, with a mix of dark beer, collaborations, and hop-forward styles.
The headline beer is EX. Schwarz / CAMADO Brewery. The beer combines the deep malt character of a dark lager with the surprisingly clean finish brought by Kveik Ale Yeast, making it a black beer that still feels easy to drink in summer. Also on tap is Yoshida-Machi Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft, a collaboration that ties directly to the bar’s location and identity.
The rest of the eight-tap lineup includes PERSONA / Nara Brewing × Bar Savant, Shinshu Heian / Shiga Kogen Beer, Dunkel / Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown, Noroshi IPA / Noroshi Brewing, Haze Alliance / WCB × JRA, and XPA / Shima Brewery. With black beer, lager, IPA, and XPA in the mix, it is a lineup built for both comparison tasting and relaxed drinking.
For beer drinkers looking to spend time with a well-balanced tap list rather than a single flashy release, Sakura Taps offers an easy stop in the Yokohama and Nogecho area.
