Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki updates 6 taps in Yokohama
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Noge/Hinodecho, Yokohama, shared a six-beer tap list for its September 4 service. The lineup spans lager, hazy IPA, and hop-forward styles from Sunriver Brewing, Repubrew, Hop Kotan Brewing, Odawara Garage Brewing, and Seapine Brewing.
Hop BroKokoro no Tsuki in Yokohama just dropped its September 4 tap list. You’ve got Sunriver Brewing’s Rippin, Repubrew’s Kaizoku Lager, and even beers from Hop Kotan, so it’s distracting in the best way.
MugiWhat! That six-tap lineup is already stacked! If there’s lager and hazy IPA on the same list, I’m going to lose the plot before my first glass.
Hop BroAnd they’re doing a 3 p.m. opening, which is perfect with Chinese bar food. You can start crisp with Kaizoku Lager, then slide toward hop aroma with Odawara Garage Brewing’s ju-low 2026 and the Citra Hazy IPA.
MugiHold on, what even is a hazy IPA? It sounds cloudy, dramatic, and way too cool for me.
Hop BroThat’s basically right. A cloudy IPA style usually looks pale and soft, and the mouthfeel leans juicy. With Seapine Brewing’s Citra Hazy IPA, you’d expect citrusy aroma from the Citra hop to jump out.
MugiWhoa, then what is Tansho Mosaic from Hop Kotan? That name sounds like a racehorse that somehow ended up in a pint glass.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Mosaic hops are a hop variety that often throws mango and citrus-like aroma. And since they also have Hop Kotan’s Inversion on tap, you can compare two beers from the same brewery.
MugiNo way, and there’s a Chinese snack squad too? Green-peppercorn chicken, mapo tofu, and drool-worthy wontons with beer is just unfair.
Hop BroThat’s where it clicks. The bitterness and aroma get caught beautifully by the oil and spice in those dishes. Honestly, I’m already mentally choosing between starting with Rippin or Kaizoku Lager.
MugiI’m done for, my first pour is Kaizoku Lager, and I’m chasing it all the way to Inversion. This is exactly the kind of tap list that makes me want to go drink immediately.
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki is a beer pub on the second floor in Miyagawa-cho, Yokohama. For Friday, September 4, the shop announced a relaxed 3 p.m. opening and a six-beer tap lineup built for drinking alongside Chinese-style small plates.
Today's Tap List
1. Sunriver Brewing / Rippin
2. Repubrew / Kaiぞku Lager
3. Hoppukotan Brewing / Tansho Mosaic
4. Odawara Garage Brewing / ju-low 2026
5. Seapine Brewing / Citra Hazy IPA
6. Hoppukotan Brewing / Inversion
The board covers a wide range of styles, from the crisp lager side of Repubrew's "Kaiぞku Lager" to the citrus-forward "Citra Hazy IPA." With "Rippin," "ju-low 2026," and two beers from Hoppukotan Brewing, the lineup works both as an easy first pour and as a route into more hop-driven choices.
Kokoro no Tsuki's appeal is how naturally the food supports the beer. The kitchen lists steamed chicken with green sansho and scallions, fried eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style yakisoba, shrimp mayo, and yodare wontons, all of which make sense with bitterness, aroma, and carbonation.
For drinkers moving through the Noge and Hinodecho area, it is the kind of place where one beer can turn into a full meal without forcing the issue. The stair handrail is said to be repaired, but the shop still asks guests to be careful on the way up.
