Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front adds sansho sardines and BBQ pork, with a canned-beer event ahead
On July 8, Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front said new dishes would join the menu around 6 p.m. Sardines simmered in soy sauce with sansho are being introduced, BBQ pork is being prepped for a return, and a new canned-beer release event is set for the weekend.
Hop BroThe place to watch is Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front today. Around 6 p.m. they’re rolling out new food, and this weekend they’ve even got a new canned beer release event coming up.
MugiWait, sansho-simmered sardines and BBQ pork are both the big news? That is a wild jump from Japanese comfort food to full meat mode!
Hop BroThat’s exactly why it works. With extra sansho on top, the soy-braised sardines get this bright, peppery lift over all that rich fish flavor.
MugiWhat even is that? Extra sansho sounds like the pepper is chasing me down the street!
Hop BroBasically, they finish the dish with more sansho so the aroma really pops. I’d pair it with Bay Pilsner, or the Hallertau Edition, because a clean pilsner clears the richness without flattening the fish.
MugiOkay, but Bay Weiss is what exactly? Cute name, zero clue on my end!
Hop BroA weiss is a wheat-based white beer style, softer and a little fruity. So Sprint IPA can hit hard with BBQ pork, while Bay Weiss would gently carry that sansho aroma.
MugiHold on, the tap list had ball tap on it. Is the beer entering a sports tournament now?!
Hop BroNo need for a bracket. It’s about a different faucet setup, and that can change the foam and mouthfeel enough to make the same Bay Pilsner fun to compare.
MugiWow, even the side-by-side tasting angle is strong! And if the anniversary-hit BBQ pork is really coming back, my stomach is already applauding.
Hop BroIt helps that the shop is on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, so it’s easy to drop by. They’ve also got a stacked guest lineup, with Pilsner Urquell and Second Breath in the mix, and I’m already trying to pick my first pint.
MugiThat settles it! I want a toast at Yokohama Station, then the sansho sardines, then the BBQ pork, and after that I’d totally chase the canned beer event this weekend too!
New dishes
Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front, the brewery pub on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT near Yokohama Station, announced a menu update in its July 8 Instagram post. The headline item is sardines simmered in a soy-sauce-based sauce flavored with sansho pepper, finished with an extra sprinkle of sansho on top. It is a straightforward seasonal dish built for beer pairing.
The post also says BBQ pork, a guest favorite from the venue's anniversary celebration, is being prepped for a comeback. In addition, the shop is gearing up for a new canned-beer release event scheduled for the coming weekend, so both food and beer appear to be changing at the same time.

Yokohama Bay Brewing beers include Bay Pilsner, Bay Pilsner Hallertau Edition, Freestyle, Bay Dark, Bay Weiss, Yuzu Weiss, Weekend Journey, Sprint IPA, Flatland, Freedom, Sara, Steel Soul Fixie, and Bay Pilsner on ball tap.

About the venue
As a direct-operated beer pub, the restaurant mixes its own beers with guest labels and pairs them with a food menu that goes beyond bar snacks. Sashimi, roast beef, and steak are all part of the lineup, making it easy to move from the sansho sardines to richer meat dishes. The result is a place that works for a quick pint, lunch drinking, or a proper meal around the beer list.
