Hop BroYokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Branch brought out Japanese-style taro potato salad on April 15. And with 24 taps split between house beers and guests, that’s the kind of lineup that makes you hesitate all afternoon.
MugiWait, taro in potato salad!? If it’s no mayonnaise, how does it get that rich, creamy feel?
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. They use taro simmered in a soy sauce-based broth, so the texture and umami bring it together and make it lean more toward a Japanese dish than a typical potato salad.
MugiI see... but does it go with beer? It said pilsners and ambers, but what’s the difference?
Hop BroPilsners tend to have clean bitterness, while ambers often bring out a toasty sweetness, so they pair well with the gentle sweetness of taro.
MugiOhh! Then I want to know the tap list too! Bay Pilsner and Bay Amber are house brews, right?
Hop BroExactly. The lineup of house-brewed beers is one of this place’s strengths, and it spans Bay Dark, Bay Weiss, Yuzu Weiss, GOOOOOAAAAAL IPA, and Mellow Walk IPA too.
MugiThe names are already over the top, which is funny! GOOOOOAAAAAL IPA sounds like it scores before you even take a sip.
Hop BroAnd the guest taps are strong too. They’ve got Pilsner Urquell, Peroni, Baeren’s On Menbroy, Minoh’s Nice Bitter, and Grandline’s Mrs Scarlet, so the range runs from lager to IPA to bitter.
MugiOh, then maybe the right move is to start with the taro snack and a pint, then change kegs depending on your mood! Picking taps based on today’s mood sounds way too fun.
Hop BroExactly. At a beer pub near Yokohama Station, if you go back and forth between Japanese-style snacks and 24 taps, you’ll end up not wanting to leave.
MugiAlright, it’s decided. Today is for taro salad and a tap crawl. Cheers!
