Sakura Taps lists four beers for June 27, led by a chamomile saison and Helles
Sakura Taps in Yokohama updated its June 27 tap list with two overnight changes. The four drafts include a chamomile saison from Yorocco Beer, a Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft Helles, and two more expressive collabs.
Hop BroSakura Taps in Yokohama's Hanasakicho just dropped a four-tap lineup for June 27. Two kegs were swapped in last night, and the whole board actually tells a story.
MugiWhat! A story in four taps? Is this a beer list or a novel section?
Hop BroThe headliner is Yorocco Beer's All you need is Flower. It's a saison brewed with naturally grown chamomile from Mitoh-aen on Mt. Kamakura, with soft floral freshness and a crisp lemon-and-apple finish.
MugiWhoa, but what is a saison? The name sounds more like a trendy lifestyle shop.
Hop BroA saison is basically a light farmhouse ale built for warm weather. It can smell expressive, but the finish is usually dry and snappy, so it works really well on hot, humid days.
MugiOkay, so it looks like a chamomile tea cousin, but surprise, it's beer. That feels unfairly perfect for summer!
Hop BroThen there's Shirosuzume's Missing Panda, which is a real troublemaker. You get pandan leaf plus hop notes like guava, pineapple, and grapefruit, and the impression shifts depending on condition.
MugiWait, pandan leaf is an actual leaf? Good, because I was worried a panda was involved. Also, changing with condition sounds exactly like me before coffee.
Hop BroExactly. Pandan is a sweetly aromatic leaf used a lot in Southeast Asia, bringing vanilla-like and green notes. And beyond that, you can ease in with Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 from Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft, or go loud with the collab Nishi Oni Higashi Oni IPA from Oni Densetsu x Beer Parlor Pogo x KARAKURI.
MugiThat is such a luxury problem. Helles for the first pour, the floral saison for the season, or Missing Panda for adventure... and if they're open as usual even in rough weather, that's basically an invitation.
Hop BroThat's the beauty of it: four beers for this moment in Yokohama. Start quiet with the helles, slide into the saison, and finish with the IPA. The progression writes itself.
MugiNope, I'm done talking. I want a pint now. I can already see myself getting pulled into Hanasakicho, so you're coming with me, Hop Bro!
Sakura Taps in Hanasaki-cho, Yokohama, shared its June 27 tap list and noted that two beers were changed over overnight. The pub sits on the second floor on Nora-neko Street in Yoshida-cho, and said it would continue normal service even as the weather turned rainy and windy.
The standout pour is Yorocco Beer’s "All you need is Flower". It is a chamomile saison brewed with naturally grown chamomile from Mitoha-en in Kamakurayama. The beer is described as having a gentle floral freshness, with a crisp finish that suggests lemon and apple. It reads as a seasonal botanical beer that fits the humid start of summer. Another highlight is Shiro Suzume’s "Missing Panda", a beer built around pandan leaf aromas and hop-driven impressions of guava, pineapple, and grapefruit. The brewery notes that the aroma can feel different depending on the drinker’s condition and what they have tasted before, which makes it an unusual, shifting beer experience.
Today’s draft list is:
- All you need is Flower / Yorocco Beer
- Yoshidacho Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft
- Missing Panda / Shiro Suzume
- Nishi Oni To Oni IPA / Noboribetsu Jigebi Oni Densetsu x Beer Bar Pogo x KARAKURI
For drinkers looking for something calm, bright, or aromatic, the lineup offers a clear range: a Helles to start, a chamomile saison for the season, and two more characterful beers for a more expressive glass.
