Hop BroCraft beer kitchen Kokorotsuki in Yokohama's Noge district has put out its tap list for Sunday service on April 26. And it's a six-tap lineup, so it's built to work just as well for a quick drink as it is for a meal.
MugiWhoa, only six beers but it sounds rich! That's the kind of lineup that makes you want to drink them all, right? I'm curious what they picked!
Hop BroThe one to watch is the newly tapped Hop Kotan Brewing Full Throttle. It's a beer with hop aroma, white-grape-like fruitiness, and a solid bitterness, giving it a very clear shape.
MugiWhite-grape-like? Does that mean it has a grape juice vibe? Or are hops just suddenly pretending to be fruit?
Hop BroIt's not that grapes are actually in it; the hop-derived aroma makes you perceive it that way. Depending on the variety and how it's used, hops can come across as citrus, white grape, and a lot of other expressions, which is part of what makes them interesting.
MugiI see! So there are also easygoing-sounding beers like Another Pale Ale and Fremont Golden, which means even a beginner like me could get into this!
Hop BroAnd that's exactly what makes it feel like Kokorotsuki to include Ume Nine Gose too. Gose has sour and salty nuances, and it really opens up when paired with food, so the match with Chinese dishes should be pretty promising.
MugiWait, sour and salty!? That's too many flavor directions for beer, and my brain is kind of at a festival! But that really does sound like it would go with Chinese food!
Hop BroExactly. And with Odawara Garage Brewing's Wind Fall and Hop Kotan Brewing's Ignition on the list too, the range goes from easy-drinking beers to more distinctive ones. The fact that it's relaxed service from 2 p.m. is also great for daytime drinkers.
MugiThat's basically every reason to drink from daytime onward! If we snack on Chinese food in Noge while trying pale ales and gose, we'll probably be floating by the time we head home!
Hop BroYeah, it's the kind of lineup that makes you want to go soak up the happiness of beer and Chinese food all at once. Today feels like a day for taking it slow and starting with the first beer at Kokorotsuki.
MugiIt's decided! I want to worry hard about which beer to start with, because all six taps sound interesting!
