"Craft beer kitchen Kokorono Tsuki" in Yokohama's Miyakawacho has published its Aug. 18 tap list. Six beers from Garden Path Fermentation, Nara Brewing and Hop Kotan Brewing are on offer, with the bar opening from 3 p.m. for a relaxed start to the evening.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Kokoro no Tsuki’s August 18 taps. At Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki in Miyagawacho, Yokohama, they’re pouring six beers from Garden Path Fermentation, Nara Brewing, and Hop Kotan Brewing.
MugiWhat! You can do a six-beer comparison in one go? I only just got into craft beer, and my brain is already ordering a first round.
Hop BroThe lineup is strong. Garden Path Fermentation has “The Twisted Branch Out” and “Ron’s not Bitter,” Nara Brewing brings “Double Swisher,” and Hop Kotan Brewing has “Pollux,” “Akaki wa Sake no Toga,” and “One Lap Behind Yuzu Ver.” It’s a wide local-global spread in one room.
MugiWhoa. And Garden Path Fermentation already sounds intense. The second someone says “fermentation,” I start hearing science-lab sound effects.
Hop BroIt just means the brewing and fermentation side of things. This post doesn’t list every exact style, but that’s part of the fun: the mystery of unlabeled styles. You taste first, then piece together the brewer’s intent.
MugiNo way, that’s like a beer detective game. And if “Ron’s not Bitter” turns out bitter after all, I’m filing a personal complaint!
Hop BroThat reaction is exactly why this works. Plus Kokoro no Tsuki has the comfort of a 3 p.m. opening, so it fits an easy early pint or a slower after-work session. Being upstairs in Miyagawacho helps too.
MugiThat sounds perfect! And the food lineup has green peppercorn chicken and mapo tofu? That’s not a snack menu, that’s a full attack on my self-control.
Hop BroNow you’re getting it. They also mention a stir-fry with bitter melon, wood ear mushrooms, and egg from a local Odawara farm, and that’s where food changes the beer’s expression. Pairing your way through the taps is half the fun.
MugiOh, nice. And August 24 to 26 is listed as a planned three-day break, right? That makes today’s regular service feel even more worth slipping into for a slow tasting session.
Hop BroExactly. If you want to hit Garden Path, Nara Brewing, and Hop Kotan in one stop, this becomes a gloriously difficult first-pour choice from the moment you sit down.
MugiThat settles it. I want a pint right now, and I’m already stuck choosing between starting with “One Lap Behind Yuzu Ver.” or going straight at “Double Swisher”!
