Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki lists six taps, including Hoppu Kodan’s One Lap Behind Yuzu-Nashi Ver.
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki in Yokohama’s Noge area shared its July 31 tap list, featuring a new pour of Hoppu Kodan Brewing’s One Lap Behind Yuzu-Nashi Ver. alongside six beers in total.
Hop BroToday's topic is the July 31 tap list at Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Noge. They opened at 3 p.m. with six taps, and Kotan Brewery is in the mix.
MugiWhat, all six taps at once sound tempting. What are they pouring?
Hop BroThe new keg is Kotan Brewery's One Lap Behind Yuzu-less Ver. It's a spin-off of the yuzu saison they previously released with Black Tide Brewing.
MugiNo yuzu, but that's the star? Spin-off saison makes it sound like beer homework all of a sudden!
Hop BroHere's the fun part: it's built around saison yeast and Sorachi Ace, so you get spicy yeast character and bright, crisp hop aroma up front.
MugiSorachi Ace sounds like a finishing move! So the hop character stands out more because the yuzu got removed?
Hop BroExactly. And it's a permanent-shop exclusive, surrounded by Seapine Brewing's Blackberry Gose and Repabrew's Thunderstruck on the same lineup.
MugiNo way, and Lucky Envelope Brewing has Watermelon Splash Sour too? I'd want to start with the tart beers and compare as I go!
Hop BroThen add Barbaric Works' Green Massive and Kotan's kimi, plus the whole clean beer and Chinese food angle, and suddenly the steamed chicken with green pepper sauce and mapo tofu become mandatory.
MugiThat lineup is unfair in the best way. For my first drink in Noge, I'd head straight to Kokoro no Tsuki and make sure I finish with One Lap Behind Yuzu-less Ver.!
On July 31, Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoronotsuki, a beer pub in Miyakawacho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, opened at 3:00 p.m. The post frames the venue as a place to enjoy "clean beer and Chinese food" together, and the day’s lineup consisted of six taps.
The new pour was One Lap Behind Yuzu-Nashi Ver. from Hoppu Kodan Brewing. The brewery described it as a yuzu-free variation of a saison originally released in collaboration with Black Tide Brewing. The beer is presented as a seasonal, house-specific offering built around saison yeast and Sorachi Ace hops.
The full tap list also included Blackberry Gose from Seapine Brewing, Thunderstruck from Repabrew, Green Massive from Barbaric Works, Watermelon Splash Sour from Lucky Envelope Brewing, and kimi from Hoppu Kodan Brewing. With gose, sour, saison, and hop-forward options on the board, the lineup offered a broad tasting range for drinkers who like to compare styles side by side.
Food remains a central part of the experience, with dishes such as steamed chicken with green Sichuan pepper sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, and mouthwatering wontons. Set on the second floor of a building in Miyakawacho, the pub keeps a relaxed neighborhood feel while still giving beer fans a place to focus on the tap list and pair it with Chinese dishes.
