Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki posts Aug. 12 tap list with a new Hoppukotan Brewing pour
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, shared its Aug. 12 tap list. The lineup includes six beers from Seapine Brewing, Flora Fermentation, Garden Path Fermentation, and Hoppukotan Brewing, plus one new tap.
Hop BroCraft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki just dropped its August 12 tap list, and it is stacked. They even have Hopp Kotan Brewing's new tapping 'Akaki wa Sake no Toga' ready from the 3 p.m. open.
MugiWhat! Akaki wa Sake no Toga sounds like a final boss title! How is a beer already giving me delicious guilt vibes?
Hop BroAnd the six-beer lineup has range: Seapine Brewing's 'Blackberry Gose,' Garden Path Fermentation's 'Ron's not Bitter,' plus Hopp Kotan's 'Pollux' and 'One Lap Behind Yuzu Ver.' It swings from tart and fruity to rich and malty.
MugiWhoa, but what is gose? It sounds like a special attack. I just need to confirm it does not make me shoot lasers.
Hop BroGose is basically a bright sour beer, and this Blackberry Gose sounds extra summery with fruit character. You can also get a soft wheat feel and a little salinity, so it drinks really easy.
MugiOkay, then what about Rothbier exactly? The name makes me picture a robot bartender and my brain is losing the plot.
Hop BroRothbier is a Franconian lager style built around toasty, reddish malt character. 'Akaki wa Sake no Toga' uses German hops, Hopp Kotan's original HKB001, and Sorachi Ace from Kamifurano to add fresh herbal lift on top of that malt.
MugiNo way, HKB001 and Sorachi Ace sound like top-secret lab files, but the flavor direction is actually delicious. And a yuzu version on the same list means this is basically a tasting tournament!
Hop BroPretty much, and that code-like name is just the brewery's signature touch in the mix. Add the herbal edge and suddenly I want it with the steamed chicken in green pepper sauce, mapo tofu, or Shanghai-style fried noodles.
MugiThat is an absolute beer and Chinese food victory combo! I'd start with 'Akaki wa Sake no Toga' and finish with the yuzu one after settling in around Noge or Hinodecho.
Hop BroThat plan is solid. With clean beer and Chinese food, happiness is basically guaranteed, and I want to work in Pollux too while tasting all six. Now I seriously want a glass.
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki, a beer pub in Miyakawacho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, updated its tap list for Wednesday, August 12. The shop opens at 3 p.m. that day, and the lineup covers six different beers with a wide range of styles and flavor profiles.
The list includes Seapine Brewing's "Blackberry Gose," Flora Fermentation's "Benfinita," Hoppukotan Brewing's "Pollux," the newly tapped "Red is the Crime of Sake" ("紅きは酒の咎"), Garden Path Fermentation's "Ron's not Bitter," and Hoppukotan Brewing's "One Lap Behind Yuzu-in Ver." Together, they offer a mix of tart, fruity, hop-driven, and malt-forward beers that should make for an easy tasting flight.
The new beer, "紅きは酒の咎," is described as a Rothbier inspired by the traditional lager of Germany's Franconia region. According to the post, it uses German hops, Hoppukotan Brewing's original HKB001, and Sorachi Ace from Kamifurano, aiming for a beer with rich malt character and a clean herbal hop note.
The pub also frames the experience around beer and Chinese food, mentioning dishes such as steamed chicken with sansho pepper sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, and shumai. It reads like a place built for pairing carefully chosen draft beer with a relaxed meal in the Noge and Hinodecho area.
