Hop BroToday I want to introduce Craft beer kitchen 心の月 near Hinodecho in Yokohama. It's a really convenient beer pub where you can enjoy craft beer and Chinese food together.
MugiWait, craft beer and Chinese food? That's amazing, isn't it? Just hearing that makes me hungry!
Hop BroAnd it's within walking distance of Hinodecho Station, with counter seating too, so it's easy to drop in casually. Being non-smoking and accepting PayPay are small but really helpful perks.
MugiOh wow! Being able to stop by after work is a huge plus. And with hours from 3:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., both daytime drinkers and nighttime drinkers should be happy.
Hop BroWhat stood out in the published review was Hop Garden Brewery's yuzu-fragrant fruit ale. It uses organically grown yuzu from Naraha Town, and the aroma really rises from the glass.
MugiA yuzu beer!? That sounds like the citrus aroma would make your mouth sparkle! But is a fruit ale basically like a sweet juice?
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: a fruit ale is a beer that makes use of the aroma and acidity of fruit. It's often designed not to be overly sweet, but light and easy to drink.
MugiI see. So what kind of beer is the other one, the Mishima Potato White Ale? The name alone is so information-dense that my head is basically a potato field.
Hop BroNice way of putting it. That one is from Kakita River Brewing, and since it's a white-beer style, it has a soft mouthfeel. With the yuzu beer leading with aroma and the white ale accompanying you more gently, the contrast is really elegant.
MugiWow, a tasting comparison sounds fun! And with dishes like square-style black-vinegar pork and ginger chicken, it's practically begging for beer, isn't it?
Hop BroExactly. Because this place has Chinese snacks, it's fun to search for the best food pairings. Comparing the character of each tap while thinking about what to match with the richness of black vinegar is just the best.
MugiAll right, decided: next time in Yokohama, it's a toast at Kokoro no Tsuki! I'll start with the black-vinegar pork, then the yuzu fruit ale, and finish quietly with the white ale.
