Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono Tsuki shares June 9 six-beer tap list
The Yokohama Noge-area beer pub Craft Beer Kitchen 心の月 has posted its June 9 tap list. The lineup includes six beers from Migration Brewing, Nomcraft Brewing × Repubrew, 忽布古丹醸造, Barbaric Works, and Echoes Brewing, paired with the bar’s Chinese-food menu.
Hop BroToday’s story is Yokohama Noge’s Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki dropping a six-tap lineup. A Tuesday opening at 3 p.m. is basically the bar handing you an excuse to start early.
MugiWhat, that rules! A 3 p.m. opening is perfect for people who refuse to wait until evening. And Kokoro no Tsuki is the place that pairs craft beer with Chinese food, right?
Hop BroExactly, their signature is craft beer with Chinese dishes. This list includes Migration Brewing’s “Chasing Dreams,” Nomcraft Brewing × Repubrew’s “Soupy Weizen,” and Kotan Brewery’s “Iki na haka Rye” plus “Misty Way.”
MugiThose names are intense! Soupy Weizen sounds delicious, but also confusing. Is it soup? Is it beer? Is it somehow both?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A weizen-style beer is wheat-based, usually soft and smooth, and it can throw off banana-like aromas. The “Soupy” part makes you imagine haze and creamy texture.
MugiWhoa. Then what about “Iki na haka Rye”? What is rye here? Not lion, right? If the king of beasts shows up in my glass, I’m leaving.
Hop BroNot lion, rye grain. Rye’s spicy edge often gives a crisp, snappy character in the aroma and finish. That’s why a six-tap setup is great for side-by-side comparisons.
MugiI want that tasting flight already! And the food list has steamed chicken with green peppercorn plus mapo tofu and more. Add shrimp mayo and black vinegar pork, and my stomach starts holding meetings.
Hop BroExactly. You get the freshness of the beer, then the umami of the food pushes you toward the next glass. I really like the mix of local and overseas breweries from Migration Brewing to Kotan Brewery.
MugiAt this point, it doesn’t sound like a casual one-drink stop. It sounds like one pint won’t be enough. Get there at 3 and suddenly you’re still talking taps hours later.
Hop BroThat might be the correct way to do it. Start with “Chasing Dreams” or go straight for “Misty Way,” and suddenly the first-pour debate becomes the whole event.
MugiI’m sold. I want the full tap-and-Chinese combo now. Honestly, this stopped being imagination halfway through; I genuinely want to go drink there.
Craft Beer Kitchen 心の月, a beer pub in the Noge area of Yokohama near Hinodecho Station, shared its June 9 schedule and tap list. The shop is located on the second floor of the LR Building at Miyakawacho 2-57, and its appeal lies in the combination of craft beer and Chinese dishes. On Tuesdays, it opens at 3 p.m., making it an easy stop for an early drink.
The day’s tap list features six beers: Migration Brewing’s "Chasing Dreams", Nomcraft Brewing × Repubrew’s "Soupy Weizen", 忽布古丹醸造’s "粋なはかRye", Barbaric Works’ "Edomond", Echoes Brewing’s "The Wave", and another beer from 忽布古丹醸造, "Misty Way". With breweries from Japan and abroad on the same board, it is a lineup that invites comparison from one glass to the next.
The food side is equally beer-friendly. The post highlights dishes such as steamed chicken with green sansho pepper and scallion sauce, eggplant with ginger soy sauce, mapo tofu, Shanghai-style chow mein, ginger chicken, ebi mayo, and yodare wontons. It also mentions rice bowls, century egg potato salad with maqaw pepper, shumai, and cube-style black vinegar sweet-and-sour pork. In other words, it works both for a quick pint and for a full meal, which is very much in line with the shop’s beer-and-Chinese-food identity.
