Sakura Taps is a craft beer and coffee pub in Yokohama’s Yoshidamachi area, known for its relaxed second-floor setting. On Friday, July 3, it opened at 3:00 p.m. and continued its weekly Juicy Things Friday program alongside an eight-tap draft lineup.

The food side focused on three slider dishes designed to work with beer:

- Roast beef slider
- Whole sardine confit slider
- Peach compote slider

That range gave drinkers both savory and sweeter pairing options, from a hearty beef slider to a summer-style dessert slider with peach, cream cheese, and smoked nuts.

The eight beers on tap were:

1. All you need is Flower / Yorocco Beer
2. Yoshidamachi Helles 2026 / Sakura Taps x Numazu Craft
3. Missing Panda / Shiro Suzume
4. Oaxaca / Cycad Brewing
5. Erykah / Barbaric Works
6. Montara / Uchutengo Brewing
7. SLASH N’ FILL / Fill Brewing
8. Lactophilia / Kyoto Brewing x Totopia Brewery

The list brings together local and national breweries, with a mix that ranges from a Helles collaboration to beers from Yorocco Beer, Shiro Suzume, Cycad Brewing, Barbaric Works, Uchutengo Brewing, Fill Brewing, Kyoto Brewing, and Totopia Brewery.

Sakura Taps’ appeal is not just the beer list itself, but the way it ties beer, food, and atmosphere together. It is the kind of place where you can settle in, work through the taps, and match each pour with a slider or two. For beer fans, July 3 was a straightforward but attractive tap-list day.
