Hop BroAt Jizakeya Noboru ~Nobori~, a beer pub in Oimachi, you can enjoy Sanriku Shiogama Higashimono—a special branded tuna. Beer and tuna sound like a great match, right?
MugiWhat! Tuna at a beer pub? Branded tuna sounds fancier than the gold plate at a conveyor-belt sushi place!
Hop BroIt really is special. It comes from naturally caught fresh bigeye tuna landed at Shiogama Fish Market, and only fish meeting strict certification standards earn the name.
MugiWhat kind of standards? Does the tuna have an interview and say, “My hobby is long-distance swimming”? A tuna interview!?
Hop BroThe wholesalers do the judging. They check freshness, color, fat, and flavor—and it must be bigeye tuna over 40 kg. It’s an elite fish, basically.
MugiOver 40 kilograms! That might weigh more than me. And fresh bigeye means never-frozen tuna, right?
Hop BroExactly. “Fresh” means it has not been frozen. The shop receives tuna directly from Marukin Matsuoka Shoten and serves it in dishes that highlight the fish itself, such as sashimi assortments.
MugiFresh tuna, then a big sip of beer… I’m already sold! What beer goes with it? Tuna and beer together!
Hop BroA crisp beer can refresh your palate, while rich, savory red meat works with toasted notes or a gently bitter lager. Malt character can cradle that umami.
MugiMalt means barley, right? Is my name supposed to cradle it? That’s a big responsibility! Mugi’s pairing duty!?
Hop BroYou’re up for it. The source article names no specific beer or brewery, so ask the staff for a pairing. Since availability varies, check before your visit.
MugiGot it! Let’s head to Jizakeya Noboru near Oimachi Station in Shinagawa, toast with seasonal tuna at hand, and make room for both beer and sake!
