Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki lists six taps, including two new kegs, on July 12
Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki, a beer pub in Yokohama’s Noge area, shared its tap list for Sunday, July 12. Six beers are on offer from Garden Path Fermentation, Nara Brewing, Hop Kotan Brewing, Odawara Garage Brewing, and Lucky Envelope Brewing, with two new kegs added to the lineup.
Hop BroThe new tap lineup at Kokoro no Tsuki in Noge, Yokohama is really worth talking about today. On July 12 they open at 2 p.m., with six beers on tap and two brand-new keg openings.
MugiWait, two new kegs tapped already sounds exciting. Which beers got added?
Hop BroThe new pours are Nara Brewing's Timmur and Lucky Envelope Brewing's Watermelon Splash Sour. That second one sounds like a perfect fruity summer sour, which is honestly unfair in the best way.
MugiWhat even is a watermelon sour? At this point I can't tell if it's a beer or a summer festival snack!
Hop BroA sour is basically a tart-style beer. When fruity aroma joins that acidity, it tightens up the palate first and then opens out, which feels ridiculously good on a hot day.
MugiOhhh! So when you say hop aroma character, you mean the star player in charge of the smell?
Hop BroThat is actually pretty accurate. They’ve got Garden Path Fermentation’s The Twisted Branch Out, Hop Kotan Brewery’s Hiromokuten Bakushu and epana, plus Odawara Garage Brewing’s 8 Beat, so the range across six taps is genuinely broad.
MugiHiromokuten Bakushu sounds way too powerful. I can hear final-boss music before I've even ordered it.
Hop BroBut the lineup is easy to approach, moving from hop-forward beers to more classic drinkers and fruity sours. And what Kokoro no Tsuki really nails is the match with Chinese dishes.
MugiThere it is, the expert phrase again! Does food pairing balance really change that much? Do beers get nervous in front of mapo tofu?
Hop BroIt really does. Pair those beers with steamed chicken in green peppercorn and scallion sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, or drool-worthy wontons, and the back-and-forth between beer and food gets dangerously good. I absolutely want a glass now.
MugiIf they open at 2 p.m., this is basically the perfect happy pint in Noge. I want both Timmur and Watermelon Splash Sour right now.
Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki is a beer pub on the second floor in Miyagawa-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, where craft beer is served alongside Chinese dishes. In its July 12 Sunday post, the shop announced a 2:00 p.m. opening and revealed a six-tap lineup, including two fresh arrivals: `Timmur` from `奈良醸造` and `Watermelon Splash Sour` from `Lucky Envelope Brewing`.
The taps listed for the day were:
- `Garden Path Fermentation` `The Twisted Branch Out`
- `奈良醸造` `Timmur`
- `忽布古丹醸造` `広目天麦酒`
- `小田原 Garage Brewing` `8 Beat`
- `Lucky Envelope Brewing` `Watermelon Splash Sour`
- `忽布古丹醸造` `epana`
The lineup spans hop-forward beers, a fruit-leaning sour, and approachable everyday pours, making it easy to build a flight that matches your mood. The shop’s own message frames the visit clearly: enjoy “beautiful beer and Chinese food together.” That pairing focus is part of what defines Kokorono Tsuki.
The post also highlights the food side of the menu, with dishes such as steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper and scallion sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, and drool-worthy wontons. It is the kind of place where the beer list and the kitchen are meant to work together, making it a solid stop for a slow afternoon drink in Noge.
