Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono Tsuki adds Hoppukotan Jozo's AKIRA囃子 on tap
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono Tsuki in Yokohama's Noge district posted its June 14 tap update. The day's new pour is Hoppukotan Jozo's AKIRA囃子, alongside six beers in total from breweries including Migration Brewing and Nomcraft Brewing x Repubrew.
Hop BroThe June 14 tap list at Yokohama Noge's Craft Beer Kitchen Kokoro no Tsuki is looking strong, and the newly tapped AKIRA Bayashi is the one grabbing me right away.
MugiWait, what! The place already sounds cozy, and now they're doing beer with Chinese dishes too? That feels unfairly tempting!
Hop BroThe new pour is a Marzen from Hoppokotan Brewing, and it's made with decoction mashing to really pull out the malt character.
MugiWhat is that! Decoction mashing sounds like a special attack move. Do I need a manual before I drink it?
Hop BroNot that dramatic. It means boiling part of the mash and returning it, which helps build toasty bread-like notes and a deeper body.
MugiOooh, so AKIRA Bayashi is the kind of beer with a cozy malt vibe and gentle bitterness instead of anything too sharp?
Hop BroExactly, and it uses Hoppokotan's own HKB001 hop too, so the bitterness lands softly and plays nicely with food.
MugiHKB001 sounds like a robot model number! A hop with a codename makes the whole tap list feel like a secret lab.
Hop BroAnd the rest of the board is solid too: Migration Brewing's Chasing Dreams, Nomcraft Brewing x Repubrew's Soupy Weizen, One Lap Behind, Edomond, and The Wave, making six taps total with a wide range of styles.
MugiYeah, that's it, I'm sold! I want to start with a pint of Marzen, then work through it slowly with some Chinese snacks on the side.
Craft Beer Kitchen Kokorono Tsuki, a beer pub on the second floor near Hinodecho in Yokohama's Noge area, shared its tap update for Sunday, June 14. The post keeps the restaurant's style front and center: craft beer paired with Chinese dishes in a relaxed setting.
The day's only new tap is Hoppukotan Jozo's AKIRA囃子. According to the post, it is a Marzen brewed with decoction to draw out malt character, then balanced with Hoppukotan Jozo's original HKB001 hop for a gentle bitterness.
`Today's Tap List` includes six beers:
- Migration Brewing 'Chasing Dreams'
- Nomcraft Brewing x Repubrew 'Soupy Weizen'
- Hoppukotan Jozo x Black Tide Brewing 'One Lap Behind'
- Barbaric Works 'Edomond'
- Echoes Brewing 'The Wave'
- Hoppukotan Jozo 'AKIRA囃子'
The lineup moves from an American brewery beer to collaboration releases and then to a malt-forward Marzen, giving the bar a balanced mix of styles rather than a crowded wall of taps. It fits a place like Kokorono Tsuki well: a neighborhood beer pub where the focus is on drinking carefully poured beer with thoughtful Chinese snacks, not on volume for its own sake.
