Shibuya’s taki marks its 15th anniversary with Matsue Beer Hearn Weizen on tap
Shibuya beer pub taki is running its 15th-anniversary event. On the guest tap list at the Johnson Building 3F venue, Matsue Beer Hearn’s Weizen leads a three-beer lineup.
Hop BroSomething good is happening in Shibuya: taki is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and the lineup of three guest taps is seriously strong.
MugiWhat! Three guest taps already sounds dangerous for my decision-making. What are they pouring?
Hop BroThe star is Matsue Beer Hearn's Weizen, a wheat beer brewed only with German ingredients.
MugiWhoa, wheat beer? How is that different from regular beer? Does it taste like bread or something?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. A Weizen often gets banana-like aroma from the yeast, so it feels soft and really approachable.
MugiWait, beer with a banana-like aroma? That's unfairly intriguing, and there isn't even fruit in it!
Hop BroAnd with ABV 6.0% and IBU 8, it's built with gentle bitterness that works nicely with Japanese food, which is very taki.
MugiHold on, IBU 8? What is that? Did you just turn this into a science class again?
Hop BroIBU is a bitterness scale, so 8 means very mild bitterness. You can take a big sip without your face folding up.
MugiOkay, then I want the full flight, including LEMENBRAU and Sansho Jasmine. A beer named Sansho Jasmine already has my attention.
Hop BroThat mix is the point: the Weizen gives you softness, then a spicy accent jumps in and changes the whole flavor scenery.
MugiAt Shibuya Johnson Building 3F, three beers with a meal sounds way too perfect. Now I really want to toast at taki tonight!
taki, a beer pub in Shibuya’s Sakuragaoka district, is holding its 15th-anniversary event. The venue is on the 3rd floor of the Shibuya Johnson Building and operates as a Japanese Beer & Sake Dining spot.
The day’s tap list featured three beers. The main beer is Matsue Beer Hearn’s Weizen, a wheat beer brewed only with German ingredients. It comes in at 6.0% ABV and 8 IBU, with a banana-like aroma and a notably gentle bitterness. The post highlights it as a beer that pairs well with Japanese food, which fits the restaurant’s style.
The lineup also includes HIGHBURY × BAEREN’s LEMENBRAU and T.Y.Harbor Brewery’s Sansho Jasmine. With a soft Weizen at the center and two more distinct guest beers alongside it, the tap list is built for an easy comparison of different profiles.
According to the post, the venue was open from 4:00 p.m. to midnight, with last food orders at 11:00 p.m. and last drink orders at 11:30 p.m. For a milestone year, taki offers exactly the kind of calm, food-friendly beer stop that makes a pint-by-pint tasting worthwhile.
