Hop BroAt Beer House Hobbit in Osaka's Hirakata, the Tuesday-only two-kind slaw tacos are here, and that's big news!
MugiWhat, only on Tuesdays!? And with spicy meat too - it really feels like food designed around beer!
Hop BroThe idea is to brighten it with acidity from purple cabbage and carrot slaw, then pair it with Kumazawa Brewery's IPA - American Style -. That's a sharp pairing proposal.
MugiWait, isn't IPA just bitter? Can you explain that pairing theory in a way a beginner can understand?
Hop BroGood question. The hop's citrusy aroma lifts the taco's spice, and the bitterness tightens the finish. In other words, it's traffic control for flavor.
MugiOhhh! So it's not a fight in my mouth, it's teamwork. In my head, the taco cheer squad is blowing trumpets right now!
Hop BroOn top of that, the draft lineup on March 17 is broad, from AOSORA Refresh Lager to Barley Wine 2025 - a full maximum swing of range.
MugiHaving two kinds of Apple Hop is so luxurious! But I'd go first for a straight shot at the Shonan IPA with the tacos!
Hop BroExactly. Beer House Hobbit also has gratin and beef sirloin, so its food-with-drinks game is strong. On Tuesdays it becomes a drinking-plus-eating paradise.
MugiIt's decided! Let's meet in Hirakata next Tuesday and go claim our first-bite victory!
