Hop BroToday's big draw in Yokohama is the new six-tap lineup. Craft beer kitchen Kokorotsuki in Hinodecho has put out today's kegs together with its business notice for May 23.
MugiWhat? Six taps is already the kind of thing that makes people happy. And Kokorotsuki is the kind of place that pairs beer with Chinese food, right?
Hop BroExactly. Chinese pairing is one of its strengths. Steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper, fried eggplant with ginger soy sauce, even mapo tofu, the lineup is unfairly good for beer.
MugiWhat is that? Steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper just sounds like it would numb your tongue. Does it really go with beer?
Hop BroIt does, and that's the thing. The new tap this time is Nara Brewing Spiral, part of the hop-variant lineage of "Function," which won gold at the WBC in the United States.
MugiA lineage? That suddenly sounds like a lab. Does changing the hops really change the flavor that much?
Hop BroIt really does. Spiral is an American Belgian-style beer, and the combination of Huel Melon and Azacca is the key point. You should get a burst of melon, white grape, and tropical aromas.
MugiWow. Melon and white grape? That's basically a fruit parfait in beer form. I feel like it would pleasantly scramble my brain!
Hop BroThe lineup is solid too, with six beers from Japan and abroad. Radiant Beer, Taihu Brewing, Hoppukotan Brewing, and Echoes Brewing are all on tap, so tasting side by side should be fun.
MugiAnd it opens at 2:00 p.m. and it's close to Hinodecho Station, right? Drinking at noon in Noge with some Chinese snacks sounds like there is no reason not to go today!
Hop BroYeah, and the finish is beautiful beer and Chinese food. If you drink Spiral at Kokorotsuki and go all the way to Shanghai-style fried noodles, the day is basically guaranteed to be happy.
MugiThat's it! I can't stop wanting a drink right now, and today I want to raise a glass at Kokorotsuki!
