On May 21, Yokohama Bay Brewing's Yokohama Front Store announced a new menu item, "ganmodoki with bamboo shoots and ginger ankake." The draft beer selection features a broad lineup of the brewery's own brands and guest beers, making it a place where you can enjoy food and drinks together in the Yokohama Station area.
Hop BroToday, you know, Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Store dropped some interesting news on May 21. From the new menu to the draft lineup, it is the kind of content that really makes you want to go out for a drink.
MugiWhat! So they have a new menu and a full draft lineup all at once!? And it is near Yokohama Station too, that is kind of unfair!
Hop BroExactly. The highlight is the ganmodoki with bamboo shoots and ginger ankake. They make house-made ganmodoki from firm tofu, fry it until crisp, and pour the sauce over it, so the outside is fragrant and the inside stays fluffy.
MugiWhen I hear ganmodoki, I usually think of a pretty plain side dish, but if you say fried until crisp, it suddenly feels like the star of the show! Ginger ankake sounds absolutely delicious too!
Hop BroThe snacks to go with it are solid too. The sashimi includes hiramasa and aohata, plus ainame, and the lineup is built around items with sweetness and umami that are easy to enjoy between beers.
MugiWhat is that, they really know how to run an izakaya! Saying sashimi between beers is basically a blueprint for happiness!
Hop BroThe draft lineup is strong too. For house brands, you have Bay Pilsner, Freestyle, Bay Dark, Bay Weiss, Yuzu Weiss, Weekend Journey, Flatland, Freedom, and Steel Soul Fixi.
MugiWait, there are too many for my brain to keep up with! A whole row of house brands? Do they have a field guide in the shop instead of a menu?!
Hop BroAnd the guest taps are even more fun. You have classics like Pilsner Urquell and Peroni, plus Nara Brewing's Charm, Craftrock Brewing's Welcome to Paradise, Baeren Beer's Onmembroi, and Yokohama Beer's Super Sonic Speed Sour.
MugiWow, they have everything from lager to sour! Even if I only planned to have one light drink today, I would definitely end up saying, 'one more!'
Hop BroThe location is also great, on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, so it is easy to stop by because it is near Yokohama Station. And they are still promoting tickets for the 15th anniversary grand thank-you festival on August 8, so the momentum at the shop is clearly continuing.
MugiAll right then, today I am going with house-made ganmodoki and a Bay Pilsner! Hop, if I go, I am going to look over the entire menu on the strength of that first drink, so stop me, okay?
