Craft beer kitchen 心の月 posts a six-beer tap list for July 8
The Yokohama beer pub updated its July 8 Wednesday schedule together with a six-beer tap list, featuring Garden Path Fermentation, Devil Craft Brewery, 忽布古丹醸造, 小田原 Garage Brewing, and Fort George Brewery.
Hop BroI’ve got my eye on Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Noge, Yokohama today. Their Wednesday, July 8 tap list has six beers on, and it’s a pretty strong lineup.
MugiWhat, six beers on tap already sounds dangerous for my decision-making, and you’re telling me I can pair them with Chinese food too?
Hop BroExactly. Their whole vibe is clean beer with Chinese food, which is a great promise. They open at 3 p.m. on weekdays, so it works for a quick pint or a full meal.
MugiOooh, but wait, does clean beer mean it literally looks shiny? This isn’t some secret glass-polishing championship, right?
Hop BroNot that kind of clean. Here, clean beer means low off-flavors and a crisp, defined profile, so the beer doesn’t fight the food and can actually support it.
MugiOkay, I’m learning! So this is basically built for pairing. I may or may not have said that just because it sounds cool.
Hop BroYou’re using it right. Built for pairing means the beer and the dish make each other taste better. Think mapo tofu or drool-worthy wontons lifting the hops, bitterness, or aroma.
MugiThat’s wild! And the names alone are fun. Garden Path Fermentation has “The Twisted Branch Out,” and Devil Craft Brewery has “Seize the Throne,” which sounds like a beer wearing armor.
Hop BroThe Japanese side is strong too. Hop Kotan has two beers on: “Hiromokuten Bakushu” and “epana,” plus “8 Beat” from Odawara Garage Brewing and “Sherman IPA” from Fort George Brewery. Sherman IPA is the one that plainly tells hop heads what game it’s playing.
MugiThat settles it, I’m ready for the 3 p.m. opening already. I’d be stuck choosing between Sherman IPA and Hiromokuten Bakushu while ordering Shanghai-style fried noodles and shumai.
Tap list
Craft beer kitchen 心の月, a beer pub in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, updated its July 8 Wednesday schedule together with a six-beer tap list. The shop describes its style as beer and Chinese food, and the notice says weekdays generally open at 3:00 p.m., with weekend service starting at 2:00 p.m.
The lineup for the day is: Garden Path Fermentation's The Twisted Branch Out; Devil Craft Brewery's Seize the Throne; 忽布古丹醸造's 広目天麦酒; 小田原 Garage Brewing's 8 Beat; Fort George Brewery's Sherman IPA; and 忽布古丹醸造's epana. U.S. breweries and Japanese breweries appear side by side, giving the tap board a wide range before any tasting notes are added.
Food items mentioned in the post include steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper and scallion sauce, eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, and yodare wonton. The update also points to house ginger ale, braised pork rice, and several shumai-centric dishes, so the bar's beer-and-Chinese-food rhythm is easy to picture.
For July 8, the post reads as a straightforward daily update: six taps, a Chinese-food pairing, and an early evening start in Yokohama's Noge area.
