Hokkaido Hogget Arrives at Kitashinchi's "Beer and Lamb," Along with House-Brewed Osaka Beer
"Beer and Lamb," a craft beer and Jingisukan specialty shop in Osaka's Kitashinchi, announced on Instagram that it has received Hokkaido hogget. Paired with its in-house brewed "Osaka Beer," the post makes clear that this is a place where you can enjoy lamb dishes and craft beer together.
Hop Bro`Beer and Lamb` in Kitashinchi has brought in Hokkaido hogget. And they're pairing it with the shop's house-brewed Osaka Beer, so it's the kind of story that makes you want to start drinking from the very beginning.
MugiHuh, what's hogget? Sheep even have age categories? That's kind of hilarious.
Hop BroExactly. It's Texel hogget, sheep meat that's a little older than lamb. And the fact that it was raised in Robinson Village in Wasamachi, Hokkaido, on cabbage and pumpkin makes it even better.
MugiWow. But pushing lamb at a beer place is pretty bold, right? Is beer the star, or is Jingisukan the star? My stomach is confused.
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting: it's a beer pub where you can build your meal. You can drink while thinking about whether to clash bitterness against the lamb's fat or to catch it with the sweetness of the malt.
MugiClash bitterness against it? That sounds like beer fighting the lamb. I want them to get along peacefully, but does it really need that much strategy?
Hop BroNot war, pairing. The unfiltered, unpasteurized Osaka Beer has a fresh aroma and mouthfeel, so it goes well with the lamb's umami.
MugiWait, there are eight varieties all the time? And the names are so weird that I feel like I'd laugh just looking at the menu.
Hop BroThe lineup is pretty intense too. IPA like Meccha Nigai Yatsu, K.I.X Belgian white ale, and the juicy IPA `Shiran Kedo.` all sound like they're trying to make you drink them just from the names.
MugiI can't take it anymore. I want to experience the lamb and beer combo right now! If I drink while eating Jingisukan in Kitashinchi, I'll probably become blissfully quiet.
Hop BroRight? It's the kind of place worth remembering as one spot in Kitashinchi. If you alternate between the lamb's umami and Osaka Beer, you'll probably end up wanting a refill.
MugiYeah, so it's a must for beer comparison tasting. Today I already feel like drinking beer while thinking about lamb.
`Craft Beer and Jingisukan Specialty Shop Beer and Lamb` in Osaka's Kitashinchi is a beer pub where you can build a meal around the beer. On Instagram, the shop announced that it had brought in Texel hogget raised in Robinson Village in Wasamachi, Hokkaido, where the sheep were fed Hokkaido-grown cabbage and pumpkin. Even though the post is about a rare lamb shipment, the focus is still on the suggestion to enjoy it with the shop's house-brewed Osaka Beer.
According to the official website, the in-house brewed `Osaka Beer` is unfiltered and unpasteurized, with eight varieties available at all times. The lineup includes the `OSAKA BEER Original` pilsner, `Meccha Nigai Yatsu` IPA, `K.I.X` Belgian white ale, `Oba-chan no Ouen (Ale)` summer ale, `KONAMON` Weizen, `Shiran Kedo.` juicy IPA, and `Shiranga Na.` herbal saison, among other distinctive brews.
What makes this place interesting is that you can choose whether to bring out the bitterness against the lamb's fat and umami, or to let the malt's sweetness round it out. It is worth remembering as a place that goes beyond the frame of a Jingisukan specialty restaurant and suits anyone who wants to work their way through craft beer tastings while eating in Kitashinchi.
