Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki posts six-tap lineup for Aug. 23
The Yokohama beer pub in Miyagawa-cho shared its tap list for Sunday, Aug. 23. The lineup includes Garden Path Fermentation, Nara Brewing, Hop Kotan, and Seapine Brewing, alongside its Chinese food menu.
Hop BroThe six-tap lineup at Kokoro no Tsuki on August 23 was seriously good. Garden Path, Nara Brewing, Hobukotan, even Seapine, and they opened at 2 p.m.
MugiWait, Chinese food and craft beer together? Steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper and scallion sauce, shrimp mayo, drool wontons... that is not a menu, that is an ambush.
Hop BroAnd the domestic-plus-import mix was smart. Garden Path Fermentation's The Twisted Branch Out, Nara Brewing's Double Swisher, three from Hobukotan Brewery, and Seapine Brewing's Citra Hazy IPA.
MugiHold on, Citra Hazy IPA sounds like a spell. If I say it three times, does a pint appear in my hand?
Hop BroThat is a beer style. Hazy IPA usually means a cloudy, aroma-forward beer, and Citra points to a hop that suggests citrus, so just think juicy and bright.
MugiOoh, a citrusy pour with shrimp mayo sounds dangerous. But The Twisted Branch Out also sounds like a fantasy boss.
Hop BroExactly, the name power level is high. On a day like this, comparing Japanese and overseas beers with dishes is half the fun, especially with the steamed chicken or drool wontons.
MugiAlso, three Hobukotan taps in one day? That is a whole subplot. Those beer names belong on a bookshelf.
Hop BroAnd Kokoro no Tsuki has that second-floor Noge vibe. Calm, a little hidden, focused on the beers and dishes of the day, and since they were closed August 24 to 26, August 23 was the kind of day that made me want a first pint immediately.
MugiThen I am sold, I want to go. Quiet bar, Chinese snacks, side-by-side tasting... this article made me thirsty on contact.
Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki, a beer pub on the second floor in Yokohama’s Noge area, opened at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23. In the post, the shop highlighted its usual pairing of craft beer and Chinese dishes, including steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper and scallion sauce, ebi mayo, and yodare wonton.
The day’s tap list featured six beers:
- Garden Path Fermentation / The Twisted Branch Out
- Nara Brewing / Double Swisher
- Hop Kotan Brewing / Ihou
- Hop Kotan Brewing / Akaki wa Sake no Toga
- Seapine Brewing / Citra Hazy IPA
- Hop Kotan Brewing / Inversion
The lineup mixed Japanese breweries with U.S. names, making it easy to compare different approaches side by side. One beer had its style stated directly: Seapine Brewing’s Citra Hazy IPA. The other names also pointed to a lineup with plenty of character.
Kokorono Tsuki’s location in Miyagawa-cho gives it the feel of a tucked-away neighborhood stop rather than a large flagship bar. The post also noted that the shop would be closed from Aug. 24 to 26, which made Aug. 23 the key day for anyone hoping to catch this tap list in person.
