Hop BroThe Shibuya Dogenzaka spot Taki〜AKANE〜JapaneseBeer&SakeDining is open from 5 p.m. to midnight on 4/22. And for the first two hours after opening, there’s a 100-yen-off Happy Time. That’s not something to miss.
MugiWhat! 100 yen off for two hours? That’s almost too kind to the people who were already planning to drink from the start. My feet are going to head for Dogenzaka on their own!
Hop BroThere are three kegs on tap today, starting with Sapporo Beer’s Shirohonoka. Its signature is a smooth, gentle drinkability, the kind that goes down easily without pushing the bitterness too hard.
MugiOhh! But when you say smooth drinkability, do you mean it’s kind of fluffy? Does the beer turn into a blanket in your mouth?
Hop BroThat’s actually pretty close. Next is Shinzato Classic Bitter from Romantic Village in Tochigi. It’s an ESB, and what’s nice is the malty finish that lingers gently.
MugiESB, what even is that! And malty finish suddenly sounds so insider-ish! Wait, is it bitter and sweet?
Hop BroESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, but it’s not just a big hit of bitterness, even if the name sounds like it. The malt character is the star, and the fun is in that balance of being bitter but rounded.
MugiSo it’s one of those names that tricks you! Then what kind of beer is Kanagawa’s Yokohama Bay Brewing Bay Dark?
Hop BroThis is a Bohemian Dark Lager, and it brings out roasted notes beautifully. It has toastiness and lightness at the same time, which is what makes it appealing even though it’s a dark beer.
MugiWait, a dark beer that’s easy to drink? Amazing! And they’ve got a full sake selection too, right? Oze no Yukidoke and Houhai and all that, there are so many choices I’m happy already!
Hop BroExactly. They also have strong snacks like fresh fish, iburigakko, and sake lees cream cheese, so it’s a place where you can really take your time exploring the pairing between beer and food.
MugiAlright, I want to start with Shirohonoka and finish with Bay Dark! If it starts at 5 p.m., I need to get there early and be ready to drink.
Hop BroThat’s the plan. Taste three beers side by side in Shibuya, take advantage of Happy Time, and go for the savings. At this point, the only thing left is to head to the shop with your throat leading the way.
