Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store, 14 House-Brewed Taps Paired with Matsukawa Flounder
On May 28, Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store introduced a lineup of 14 taps, including its house-brewed Bay Pilsner, Yuzu Weiss, and various IPAs, alongside its recommended Hokkaido Matsukawa flounder. Hours: 16:00-23:00 (L.O. 22:30).
Hop BroToday I’m talking about Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store. They lined up 14 house-brewed taps to go with Hokkaido Matsukawa flounder.
MugiWhoa, 14 taps? With that many, I’d already be happy before even deciding what to drink!
Hop BroAnd the star of the show is Bay Pilsner. It even has the WORLD BEER CUP2025🥇 label, so it really feels like the shop’s flagship.
MugiPilsner means a crisp style, right? It sounds kind of strong, but when you drink it, it feels gentle?
Hop BroExactly. In simple terms, it’s a clean, snappy lager. It doesn’t get in the way of the savory flavor of white fish like Matsukawa flounder, and it helps carry away the gentle sweetness of the fat.
MugiOhhh! And they’ve got Yuzu Weiss too? That’s almost unfair! It already sounds delicious just from the aroma, and the WBC2024🥇 and 2025🥈 results are way too strong!
Hop BroWeiss has the appeal of a soft mouthfeel from wheat, and when yuzu is added, it instantly becomes more vibrant. Bay Weiss is on the list too, so it’s a lineup that makes tasting side by side fun.
MugiWhat is this? It’s a tasting paradise! And there’s Bay Dark, Sprint IPA, and even Goooooaaaaal!!!!!. Just the beer names alone are enough to get me hyped!
Hop BroExactly. You’ve got the bitterness of IPA on one hand, and richer options like Bay Dark on the other, so you can pick based on your mood. The third slot being marked Coming soon... makes it feel like the taps are constantly changing, which makes me want to keep coming back.
MugiAnd it’s open from 16:00 to 23:00, so it’s perfect for stopping by after work! Fish and beer at a Yokohama beer pub is basically tonight’s answer.
Hop BroThat settles it, Matsukawa flounder and a pint it is. I’ll start with Bay Pilsner, and Mugi-chan can start with Yuzu Weiss, and then I’m pretty sure neither of us will be going home anytime soon.
MugiGoing home late would be a problem, but I can’t stop myself from wanting to drink now! I’m already itching to go to Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store!
Highlights of the Day
Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai Main Store recommended Hokkaido Matsukawa flounder. Considered one of the tastiest among flounder varieties, Matsukawa flounder is a white-fleshed fish with a thick texture and a flavor whose savory depth and gentle sweetness of fat spread the more you chew it. The shop recommends pairing it with pilsner.
Tap Lineup
That day's BEER MENU was centered on Yokohama Bay Brewing's own house-brewed beers. The flagship Bay Pilsner was labeled "WORLD BEER CUP2025🥇," and Bay Weiss and Yuzu Weiss were also listed. Yuzu Weiss also bore the notes "WORLD BEER CUP2024🥇" and "WORLD BEER CUP2025🥈."
The beers on tap were Bay Pilsner Harataw Edition, Bay Dark, Steel Soul Fixie, Weekend Journey, Freestyle, Freedom, SARA, Sprint IPA, Goooooaaaaal!!!!!, and Flatland. The third slot was marked "Coming soon...," making the lineup appealing not only for the beers themselves but also for the sense of taps being rotated.
