At "Craft beer kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki" in Miyagawa-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, six taps were announced in conjunction with the May 21 business day. The shop opens at 3:00 p.m. and operates as a beer pub where guests can casually enjoy beer together with Chinese food, in a way that feels true to the Nogecho area.

That day’s lineup includes Radiant Beer’s "Mind Gardens," Taihu Brewing’s "Taihu IPA," Hop Kotan Brewing’s "Iki na Haka Rye," Barbaric Works’ "TASUKI-", Echoes Brewing’s "The Wave," and once again Hop Kotan Brewing’s "Kotan to AKIRA." The mix of domestic and international breweries offers a broad range, from IPA to uniquely named beers, making it a day to enjoy tasting and comparing styles.

Kokoro no Tsuki also describes itself in its post as a place for "a happy moment with beautiful beer and Chinese food," emphasizing the pairing of beer and dishes. The menu includes steamed chicken with green peppercorn and scallion sauce, eggplant fritters with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style fried noodles, shrimp mayo, and mouthwatering wontons, offering plenty of snacks that can stand up to hop aroma and bitterness.

The address is 2-57 Miyagawa-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa, LR Building 2F. It is easy to access from Nogecho and Hinodecho, making it convenient both for dropping in for a quick drink after work and for settling in to enjoy a long meal and drinks. On the evening of May 21, it looks set to be a day to enjoy the usual pairing of Chinese food and craft beer, centered on six distinctive taps.
