Hop BroAt Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Hinodecho, Yokohama, six taps were lined up on May 28. The way the place is built around pairing with Chinese food really speaks to beer lovers' hearts, doesn't it?
MugiWait, Chinese food and beer go that well together!? And six kinds, too? That's the kind of place that sounds fun before you've even decided what to drink!
Hop BroThe lineup has six beers from domestic and international breweries: Radiant Beer's Mind Gardens, Taihu Brewing's Taihu IPA, Hop Kotan Brewing's Iki na Haka Rye and Misty Way, Nara Brewing's Spiral, and Echoes Brewing's The Wave.
MugiHold on, what's Rye? I only think of rye as bread. What changes when it's in beer?
Hop BroGood question. It tends to bring out the depth of rye, giving the beer a slightly spicy, toasty impression. So even the name "Iki na Haka Rye" sounds stylish from the start.
MugiOh wow! So there are also hop-aroma-heavy beers like Taihu IPA, which makes the range of flavors broad enough that it won't get boring!
Hop BroExactly. And the place opens at 3:00 p.m., with a calm interior that's easy to enjoy even in a small group. It's also in a convenient location for bar-hopping around the Noge area.
MugiThat's perfect! A two-minute walk from Hinodecho Station is basically ideal for meeting up, too.
Hop BroThe food is strong, too. You've got steamed chicken with green Japanese pepper, fried eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayonnaise, and yodare wonton, so the beer has a huge range of things to pair with.
MugiWhoa, a round with yodare wonton, then one with Misty Way, and finishing with Spiral? Just imagining it makes me happy...
Hop BroExactly. Tonight feels like the kind of night to have a drink at Kokoro no Tsuki and compare all six while snacking on Chinese dishes.
MugiLet's go, let's go! A night for tasting side by side is exactly what this is!
