Hop BroBreaking news: from 1:30 p.m. on March 15, there'll be a daytime drinking event for Asahimachi at Waonjin Gassan in Sangenjaya! Yonezawa Jacks Brewery representative Shuto Makiyama is also planning to be there, so this is definitely one to watch.
MugiWait, the brewery rep is coming in person!? That's basically a fan meet-and-greet!
Hop BroAnd the participation fee is just 3,500 yen, with a cap of 20 people. It's centered on Asahimachi wine and craft beer, and there's even an apple juice tasting. Apparently homemade bread is included too. They're going all in from midday.
MugiWow! It's not just alcohol, there's apple juice too? That's so thoughtful. What kind of food will they have?
Hop BroThey're apparently serving dishes made with Asahimachi apples, ostrich meat, yakitori, and even imoni. It's a pretty strong lineup for pairing.
MugiWhat is that! You suddenly threw in sommelier language with "pairing"!
Hop BroBasically, it means matching food and drinks so they complement each other. For example, pairing a fragrant drink with a sweet dish makes both taste better. And at an event like this, you get to try it all at once, which is the best part.
MugiGot it! It's basically an experiment where you eat and drink and go, 'Wow, that's good!' So, have any beer names been announced?
Hop BroNo brand names have been announced in this notice. But Yonezawa Jacks Brewery is a microbrewery that started in spring 2018, and in addition to its four core beers, it keeps releasing limited brews and collaborations using local ingredients. Since its range is broad, the lineup for the day should be exciting.
MugiAsahimachi wine, local food, and craft beer from Yonezawa... you can take a trip to Yamagata without leaving Tokyo. Now I really want to drink!
Hop BroCheck the reservation form, and let's plan to gather before 1:30 p.m. on the day. Let's toast to Yamagata culture from noon!
