Shibuya Taki AKANE to Pour Three Japanese Craft Beers When It Reopens on March 16
The beer pub "Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining" in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, will be closed on Monday, March 16, and will operate on Thursday, March 17 from 5:00 p.m. to midnight. The taps will feature three brands - Tazawako Beer, COEDO, and Yokohama Bay Brewing - in a lineup meant to be enjoyed with Japanese-style snacks.
Hop BroI've got a hot one from Dogenzaka in Shibuya: Taki AKANE's new taps are an insanely good lineup for late March.
MugiWait, I saw it's closed - so there's the whole when can I drink there problem happening right now!?
Hop BroIt's closed on Monday, March 16, and open Thursday, March 17 from 5:00 p.m. to midnight, and the first two hours are eligible for happy hour too.
MugiOhhh! That's an easy post-work raid, then. A 5:00 p.m. start is god-tier!
Hop BroThe three kegs this time are Tazawako Beer's Kölsch, COEDO's Marihana (Session IPA), and Yokohama Bay Brewing's Bay Dark, and the three-style lineup is excellent.
MugiWhat is that! Session IPA sounds intense, but what does session even mean!?
Hop BroSession means it's designed so you can drink it for a long time; the key is balancing moderate strength with aroma. In other words, Marihana is aromatic yet easygoing.
MugiGot it! So you start with the Kölsch and finish with Bay Dark? Being able to build it from first glass to last is amazing!
Hop BroAnd the food lineup is strong too - iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese, fried oysters, even milt - it's full-on Japanese pub vibes, and the beer will keep flowing.
MugiIt's settled! If we're drinking calmly in Shibuya, this is the place - tonight is a triple hit of domestic beers!
Near Shibuya Station, Taki~AKANE~JapaneseBeer&SakeDining announced that it will be closed on Monday, March 16, and will resume regular hours the next day, Thursday, March 17, from 5:00 p.m. to midnight. The first two hours after opening are eligible for happy hour, making it an easy stop for a drink on the way home from work.
This time, the draft beer list consists of three kegs, each showcasing the clear character of a domestic brewery.
- Akita's Tazawako Beer: "Kölsch"
- Saitama's COEDO: "Marihana" (Session IPA)
- Kanagawa's Yokohama Bay Brewing: "Bay Dark" (Bohemian Dark Lager)
If you want a light, easy-drinking pour, choose the Kölsch; if you want to enjoy bright hop aroma, go for Marihana; and if you're after the roasty aroma derived from malt, Bay Dark is the one to pick. With styles that differ so clearly, it is an easy lineup to match the mood. Because the selection covers different styles, it also makes it easy to build a flow from the first drink to the last.
The food focuses on fresh fish, drinking snacks, and warm dishes. Black edamame, iburigakko with sake lees cream cheese, fried oysters, pork meat-tofu, and milt of true cod (served as tempura, kombu-grilled, or oden) are among the items that stand out for their Japanese-leaning pairing with malt aroma and bitterness. Even though it is a beer-focused shop, its sake selection is also strong, giving it the distinctive feel of a Japanese drinking spot.
It is located at Daini Oban Building 404, 1-11-1 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. With a counter-centered layout that keeps things close, it is a place suited to people who want to slowly work through the day’s taps and sake. For late March in Shibuya, it looks like a strong option for anyone wanting to drink Japanese craft beer in a relaxed setting.
