Craft beer kitchen Kokonotsuki updates its June 6 tap list with six beers
Craft beer kitchen Kokonotsuki, a beer pub in Noge, Yokohama, opens at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 6. The updated tap list includes six beers, from Migration Brewing’s "Chasing Dreams" to Hop Kotan’s "Misty Way" and "Ikina Haka RYE."
Hop BroHere’s the headline: Noge’s Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki opens at 2 p.m. on June 6 with a six-tap refresh.
MugiWhat! A day-drinking kickoff with six fresh pours? Is it even legal to post that kind of temptation?
Hop BroAnd the best part is that Kokoro no Tsuki pairs craft beer with Chinese food, so you get this beer-and-Chinese loop going.
MugiOoh! Then my first target is Migration Brewing’s "Chasing Dreams." An American IPA sounds like the move!
Hop BroThat’s a classic pick. "Chasing Dreams" is the kind of beer that suggests a crisp West Coast bite with plenty of hop aroma.
MugiWait, what does West Coast style even taste like? Sunset? Surfboards? Ocean wind?
Hop BroNot the ocean, no. It means clean bitterness and lifted hop aroma, which is very different from Nomcraft Brewing x Repubrew’s "Soupy Weizen" and its soft cloudy wheat feel.
MugiHold on, is soupy beer a thing now? And "weizen" suddenly sounds like a wizard spell!
Hop BroWeizen is a wheat beer, so it often drinks soft and throws fruity aromas. Then Hobukotan Brewery’s "Iki na Haka RYE" enters as an imperial rye stout.
MugiThat title has too much authority. "Imperial" sounds royal, and "rye" makes me think of a bakery. My brain is full.
Hop BroBasically, imperial means bigger body and more intensity. Then you’ve got Barbaric Works’ "Edomond" and Echoes Brewing’s "The Wave" as Double IPAs, plus Hobukotan’s "Misty Way" as a Hazy IPA, so it’s a full aroma showdown.
MugiAnd the food list has mapo tofu, steamed chicken with green peppercorn and scallion sauce, and Shanghai-style fried noodles? That’s a Chinese pairing festival!
Hop BroExactly. Pair an IPA with that green peppercorn lift, or let something richer catch the heat of drool wontons. It’s a 2 p.m. drinking plan already.
MugiDone. I want to start gentle with "Misty Way" and finish on "Iki na Haka RYE." This is take me to Noge now territory!
Craft beer kitchen Kokonotsuki is a beer pub on the second floor of a building in Miyakawacho, Naka Ward, Yokohama. The shop positions itself as a place where craft beer and Chinese dishes can be enjoyed together in the Noge and Hinodecho area. In its June 6 post, the pub announced a 2 p.m. opening and updated its "Today's Tap List," giving daytime visitors a strong lineup to choose from.
The six beers on tap are:
- Migration Brewing "Chasing Dreams": American IPA
- Nomcraft Brewing × Repubrew "Soupy Weizen": Weizen
- Hop Kotan Brewing "Ikina Haka RYE": Imperial Rye Stout
- Barbaric Works "Edomond": Double IPA
- Echoes Brewing "The Wave": Double IPA
- Hop Kotan Brewing "Misty Way": Hazy IPA
The range is broad: a West Coast-leaning IPA, a wheat beer collaboration, a rye-forward dark beer, and two hop-forward double IPAs, plus a hazy IPA. It is the kind of lineup that invites not just drinking, but comparing aroma, bitterness, malt texture, and finish across styles.
Foodwise, the post highlights Chinese-leaning dishes such as steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper and scallion sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, and yodare wonton. That makes the tap list especially easy to pair with food. The pub also updated its June opening schedule, so checking hours before heading over would be wise.
