Hop BroThe Yokohama-Miyagawacho Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki has put out its tap list for May 12. The lineup of Radiant Beer, Nara Brewing, Hoppukotan Brewery, Barbaric Works, and Migration Brewing is a pretty exciting one.
MugiWhoa! So it’s a six-tap release? If I got to drink that many different beers, I’d probably get tipsy before I could memorize all the names!
Hop BroExactly. And the shop’s post says beautiful beer and Chinese food, so it’s designed for a slow, relaxed visit starting at 3 p.m. They really know how to make the meal part of the experience, not just the beer itself.
MugiI see! But by tap list, you mean the list of kegs currently connected, right? That sounds kind of like a bar report card, which makes me nervous in a fun way!
Hop BroPretty much. This time it’s a mix of domestic and overseas breweries, so the range of side-by-side tastings opens up a lot. For example, just from the names alone, you can already feel the personality in something like Radiant Beer’s Mind Gardens or Nara Brewing’s Under Water Luminous, right?
MugiI can, I can! The personality from the names is overflowing! And AKIRA no Kyuujitsu sounds like the kind of beer that, even though it’s called a day off, somehow still doesn’t let you relax, which makes me want to drink it even more!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it fun. On top of Hoppukotan Brewery’s AKIRA no Kyuujitsu, there’s Barbaric Works’ TASUKI-TASUKI-, Migration Brewing’s Govy 500, and even Kotan to AKIRA, so there’s a lot of enjoyment in choosing based on your mood.
MugiWow, choosing based on your mood sounds so fun! First I’d pick by name, then drink like I’m buying by the label, and finally I’d get pulled into the rabbit hole by the staff’s recommendations!
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. The Chinese snacks are plentiful, with steamed chicken with green sansho pepper and scallion sauce, mapo tofu, drool-worthy wontons, and black-vinegar pork, so the beer is going to keep disappearing fast.
MugiWow, if you did that in the Noge and Hinodecho area, wouldn’t it be amazing? If we drank while following the tap updates from a second-floor shop, I feel like we’d never make it home!
Hop BroExactly. It’s the kind of place that works whether you enjoy one glass at a time or compare a bunch with friends, so it’s worth going on update day.
MugiDeal! Let’s seriously go hunt for today’s beer candidate and end the night with some Chinese food happiness.
