Hop BroThis April 11 tap list in Yokohama's Miyagawa-cho is a really strong lineup from Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki. Starting with Chuckanut Brewery's Bock already shows they know what they're doing.
MugiWait, Chuckanut Brewery's Bock sounds intense just from the name! What does Bock taste like?
Hop BroIn short, it's a style where the malt sweetness takes center stage, with richness and roundness often coming forward more than roast character. It's the kind of beer that really settles in when you sip it slowly in the afternoon.
MugiOh, I see! That makes me want to drink it with Chinese food. A second-floor spot in Yokohama that opens at 2:00 p.m. is basically the ideal day off!
Hop BroExactly. And three beers really stand out for their seasonal feel: Hop Garden Brewery's "Sakura SAKE Lager," Hoppukotan Brewery's "Umemi-gachi," and Chuckanut's Bock. The spring vibe is lined up nicely.
MugiHold on, what's a SAKE Lager? Is it sake? Is it beer? I'm confused!
Hop BroThe name is playful, but the base is still the easy-drinking character of a lager. Because it's crisp, it can carry cherry-blossom-like aromas or Japanese-style nuances without becoming heavy.
MugiI get it! So the fact that Hoppukotan has two beers on the list means it's a chance to compare them side by side, right?
Hop BroThat's right. "Umemi-gachi" and "nonno," plus Barbaric Works' "Master Heir" and Georgetown Brewing's "Johnny Utah," make this a fun six-pack where each beer shows a different face.
MugiWow, just hearing that makes me hungry! Today feels like the kind of day to stop by Kokoro no Tsuki for beautiful beer and Chinese food.
Hop BroExactly. This is definitely an afternoon drink kind of place. I want to start with the Bock right now and work through them in order, so shall we go together, Mugi?
MugiLet's go! If it opens at 2:00 p.m., then today we should toast early and chase the whole spring tap list!
