Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Miyakawacho, Yokohama, has published its tap list for May 26. In addition to Radiant Beer, Taihu Brewing, Nara Brewing, and Echoes Brewing, Hop Kotan Brewing's newly tapped "Misty Way" is now on offer.
Hop BroThe Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Yokohama's Miyakawacho has updated today's tap list. On top of Radiant Beer, Taihu Brewing, Nara Brewing, and Echoes Brewing, the new tap from Hop Kotan Brewing is especially exciting.
MugiWait, so that means six taps updated? That's so many I'd totally freeze up trying to decide what to drink first!
Hop BroThat's the fun part. The highlight this time is Hop Kotan Brewing's Misty Way, and it's a hazy IPA.
MugiHazy...? You mean it's cloudy? That sounds like the beer suddenly turned into a cloud, and now I'm worried!
Hop BroExactly, it's one of those hazy IPAs. It pushes hop aroma to the front while keeping the bitterness from becoming too sharp, so the mouthfeel stays soft.
MugiI see! So what does Misty Way smell like? The name alone already feels like a misty path, so now I'm curious!
Hop BroMisty Way uses Mosaic and Nectaron, giving it aromas of grapefruit and passion fruit. Then a tropical mango-like layer comes through, and it finishes nice and clean.
MugiWhoa, grapefruit and mango? That doesn't even look like a beer anymore! I was about to say it sounds drinkable like juice... but is it a dangerous one?
Hop BroNot dangerous, but it is definitely beer. What's more, Kokoro no Tsuki is a place that pairs really well with Chinese food, and the savoriness and spices in dishes like steamed chicken and mapo tofu work really well with this kind of IPA.
MugiThat's the best! If they open at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, you can go in and lift your mood in the middle of the day, not just after work.
Hop BroExactly. In the Hinodecho Station area, it's great that today you can choose anything from a playful, aroma-driven pour to a more balanced drinkability. All right, let's start with a glass of Misty Way and figure out what to pair it with next.
MugiDeal! I want to drink it right now, and all the Chinese snacks sound amazing too. Today, let's fall straight into the beer-and-food pit at Kokoro no Tsuki!
