Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Branch announces new menu and 19 draft beers on 5/10
Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Branch introduced a new menu item, "Firefly Squid and Hime Takenoko with Fuki Miso Dressing," in an Instagram post on May 10. It also revealed the day’s tap list, showing a broad lineup centered on its own brews along with guest beers.
Hop BroToday I’m talking about Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Branch, and their May 10 post dropped a new menu item and the tap list all at once. It’s the kind of thing that really gets my heart racing.
MugiWhoa! The new menu item is the one with firefly squid and hime takenoko, right? That’s like getting the best parts of spring and early summer in one dish. That sounds so good!
Hop BroExactly. It’s dressed in fuki miso, so the umami of the firefly squid, the slight bitterness of the fuki miso, and the texture of the hime takenoko all come together in one plate. I like how clearly it’s designed with beer in mind.
MugiPairing the bitterness like that, you mean it’s really designed with beer in mind? Wow, even the food is made with that much thought? That’s already artisan-level stuff!
Hop BroThey also mentioned the previous day’s FREE STYLE early keg-opening event, and it sounds like the new Experiment Helles was well received. Helles has that soft malt sweetness and clean finish, so it works well with spring snacks.
MugiHuh! Helles sounds kind of German and intimidating. At first I thought it was the name of a final boss or something!
Hop BroHaha, not quite. Roughly speaking, it’s a light lager style, with a pale, easygoing look and a straightforward taste that doesn’t get in the way of food. That’s why it gets along so well with something distinctive like fuki miso.
MugiI see! And the taps have 19 draft beers on them, right? If there are that many, I’d be so happy I’d almost collapse before even choosing!
Hop BroRight. They’ve got the core house beers like Bay Pilsner, Bay Weiss, Bay Amber, and Bay Dark, and then guest beers join the lineup too, which makes it fun. With Craft Beer Base, Baeren Beer, and even Yokohama Beer in the mix, the tasting range is really broad.
MugiAnd they even have Pilsner Urquell? If I started drinking one by one from lunchtime, I feel like I’d be heading to heaven before my medical checkup!
Hop BroThe location on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT is great too, and it really has that beer pub feel where you can enjoy food and draft beer together. A seasonal dish plus a diverse tap list, that’s definitely a place I’d want to take my time with.
MugiIt’s decided! I’ll go for the firefly squid and hime takenoko, and you take on the taps, Hop. Just reading this article already has me in the mood to go out for drinks!
