Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono Tsuki adds Garden Path Fermentation's Ron's not Bitter
Craft beer pub Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki in Yokohama's Noge area posted its August 7 tap list. The lineup includes a new tap from Garden Path Fermentation, Ron's not Bitter, alongside five other beers spanning gose, tea-inspired beer, and Japanese craft releases.
Hop BroCraft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Noge just dropped its Friday tap list, and 'Ron's not Bitter' is the new pour.
MugiWhat! That name sounds like a not-bitter disclaimer. How is it a bitter then?
Hop BroThat is the fun part. It's an English bitter from Garden Path Fermentation, a brewery in Burlington, Washington that focuses on 100% native yeast.
MugiWait, what? 100% native yeast sounds like bakery talk. What does that change in beer?
Hop BroIt usually makes the fermentation character more layered and expressive. In plain terms, it's a beer to sip slowly, not a mindless chugger.
MugiOhh! And this place has six taps total, right? Blackberry Gose, Benfinita, Have a Tea... the names already feel like an adventure.
Hop BroExactly. Seapine Brewing's Blackberry Gose is a gose, so you get some tartness and a touch of salinity. Basically it's salty-tangy deliciousness, the kind that makes your face glitch once.
MugiMy face glitching is assumed now!? But Hop Kotan's One Lap Behind comes in yuzu and no-yuzu versions, and that really triggers my compare-them-both instinct.
Hop BroAnd Kokoro no Tsuki leans hard into Chinese food. Steamed chicken with green sansho, mapo tofu, drool-worthy wontons... it's beer and Chinese in rotation all night.
MugiA relaxed second-floor pub in Noge from 3 p.m.? That sounds perfect. I can already see a definitely not one-beer night coming.
Hop BroThat is the correct conclusion. I'd start with 'Ron's not Bitter' and finish by comparing the yuzu versions. Tonight's drinking plan is basically settled.
MugiSettled! I'll let Blackberry Gose glitch my face first, then recover with Chinese food. I want to go to Noge now!
