Sakura Taps Announces Golden Week Hours, Continues Its Current 8-Tap Lineup
Yokohama's Sakura Taps announced its Golden Week business schedule in a post dated April 13. Eight draft beers are still on tap inside, with a lineup of distinctly different brews such as Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's "Summer's Door" and West Coast Brewing's "Triple Cone."
Hop BroYokohama's Sakura Taps has put out its Golden Week business hours. On April 29, May 2, May 3, May 4, and May 6, it opens at 1:00 p.m.; on other weekdays it opens at 3:00 p.m.; and it closes at 11:30 p.m., so it's operating without a break.
MugiWait, it's open every day? That's really convenient for dropping by Yokohama during the long break. And staying open late is huge!
Hop BroAnd there are no new kegs right now, so the current 8 taps are continuing. From Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's "Summer's Door," West Coast Brewing's "Triple Cone," and even the "UNDERWATER" series from Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori, the lineup really has distinct personalities.
MugiWhat's that, what is a hoppy saison? The name alone is so stylish my brain is being left behind!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a light, aromatic saison. "Summer's Door" is crisp on the palate but the hop aroma wafts in, so it's perfect as a first drink.
MugiOhh! So what about Triple Cone? Just from the name, it already looks like tropical juice!
Hop BroThat guess is pretty much right. It's a modern IPA-style beer with citrus and tropical fruit up front, the kind hop lovers will grin at. And being able to compare "UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS" and "UNDERWATER" side by side is exactly the kind of bold move Sakura Taps is known for.
MugiWow, collaboration overload! Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori and Baeren × Highbury's "ONMEN BRÄU" too - the names alone are packed with information!
Hop BroExactly. ONMEN BRÄU's mix of rauchbier and food culture is interesting, and Sakura Smoked Workshop × 254 Beer's "Unexpected" is another one I'm curious about. Plus, the second floor on Yoshidamachi's Nora Neko Street has that slightly hideaway feel, which is nice.
MugiAnd they don't just have beer, they also have prosciutto and potato tartiflette? That's basically a setup for staying a long time.
Hop BroIt's a beer pub that also serves coffee, so it's perfect as a side stop while walking around town. For Golden Week, I want to work through the current 8 taps, one by one in the order that catches my eye, and finish with that limited food.
MugiYeah, let's do one beer at a time, in order of what catches our eye! After seeing the April 13 announcement, I already want to make plans to go drink in Yokohama!
Golden Week Business Hours
Yokohama beer pub Sakura Taps announced its Golden Week business schedule in a post on Monday, April 13. On April 29, May 2, May 3, May 4, and May 6, it will open at 1:00 p.m.; on other weekdays, it will open at 3:00 p.m.; and in all cases it will close at 11:30 p.m. The shop says it will stay open throughout the holiday period, making it convenient for anyone stopping by Yokohama during the long break.
There were no new kegs tapped in this post, but the current draft lineup remains at 8 taps. The selection is as follows.
- Summer's Door / Mugi Zakkoku Kobo
- Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps × Numazu Craft
- Triple Cone / West Coast Brewing
- No.03 Yayoi IPA #2 / FARMENTRY
- UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS / Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori
- ONMEN BRÄU / Baeren × Highbury
- UNDERWATER / Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori
- Unexpected / Sakura Smoked Workshop × 254 Beer
The aroma profiles also span a wide range. Mugi Zakkoku Kobo's "Summer's Door" is a beer that evokes the light, crisp character of a hoppy saison. West Coast Brewing's "Triple Cone" is a modern IPA-style design that brings citrus and tropical fruit notes to the forefront. Meanwhile, Nara Brewing × Kaze no Mori's "UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS" and "UNDERWATER" seem well suited for a side-by-side comparison born of a collaboration, and Baeren × Highbury's "ONMEN BRÄU" stands out for its distinctive pairing of rauchbier and food culture.
Sakura Taps is known as a calm beer pub that offers both craft beer and coffee, and its second-floor location on Yoshidamachi's Nora Neko Street also makes it easy to settle in while strolling around town. In the April 13 post, it also said that the well-received "prosciutto and potato tartiflette" from its 11th-anniversary week had been remade in limited quantities, so there is no shortage of dishes to pair with the beer.
Heading into Golden Week, the idea is to check out the current 8 taps first and then try the beers that catch the eye, one by one.
