Yokohama: Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki unveils its April 18 tap list with Bock and six kegs
The beer pub "Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki" in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, has released its tap list for Saturday, April 18. The lineup features Chuckanut Brewery's Bock at the head, along with six kegs including two domestic labels and beers from the U.S. West Coast, making it a setup that can be enjoyed with Chinese food from the 2:00 p.m. opening.
Hop BroThe six-keg tap list from Miyakawacho, Yokohama is pretty interesting. It was posted by Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki for April 18, and just seeing Chuckanut Brewery's Bock at the top makes malt lovers grin already.
MugiWhoa! What is Bock? It sounds strong just from the name, but it's not something like barbecue sauce, right?
Hop BroNice one. Bock is a style where malt richness takes center stage. Rather than pushing with hop aroma, it's the kind of beer you enjoy slowly for its bread-like sweetness and depth.
MugiI see! So it's a slow-sipping style from the very first glass. And opening at 2:00 p.m. means you can drink it in that weird gap between lunch and snack time, which is basically unfair.
Hop BroThat's Kokoro no Tsuki's strength. Since they open leisurely from 2:00 p.m., you can start at a relaxed pace in Noge, and the fact that it's meant to be paired with Chinese food is a nice touch.
MugiWhat? Chinese food and beer? Suddenly this got serious. If mapo tofu shows up, my mouth is going to turn into a full-on sports festival!
Hop BroExactly. They have dishes like steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper sauce and fried eggplant with ginger soy sauce, so it's fun to pair aromatic dishes with beers that really show their hops.
MugiWait, hops do that much work? When you say distinct aroma, it starts sounding like a research lab and gets a little scary!
Hop BroIt sounds complicated, but basically it means beers with a clear aroma don't get overshadowed by food. This lineup mixes domestic and overseas beers, so it's easy to compare everything from crisp styles to malt-focused ones.
MugiGot it, so today is basically a perfect tasting day. They even have Fremont Brewing's Golden, so starting light and then coming back to the Bock is starting to feel pretty smart!
Hop BroExactly. By the end, it's basically the kind of place you want to go tonight. If we work through six kegs one by one while snacking on Chinese dishes at Kokoro no Tsuki, we'll probably be thinking about our next beer by the time we leave.
MugiFine, I'm done. I want to drink right now! First I'll settle down with the Bock, then I want to drown my head in hops with Hop in my Head!
