TOWA in Ueno adds two new snacks and serves Vertere’s “Duranta” on tap 3
TOWA, a beer pub in Ueno, introduced two new snacks in an Instagram post: homemade roast pork and jellyfish with ponzu. The same post says Vertere’s “Duranta” is currently on tap 3.
Hop BroTOWA in Ueno just rolled out two new snacks, and Vertere's "Duranta" is on tap three. That's a dangerous detour.
MugiWhat! Dangerous detour is such a strong phrase! Roast pork and jellyfish ponzu in the same post is way too much information!
Hop BroAnd that house roast pork is low-temp cooked and juicy. Big portion, but the special ponzu keeps it from feeling heavy.
MugiWhoa! But low-temp cooking sounds like a science experiment. So what does it actually do for the flavor?
Hop BroBasically, it's slow gentle heating so the meat holds onto moisture. That's how you get roast pork that's tender instead of dry.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And with jellyfish ponzu in summer, my mouth already feels cooler. Team crunchy is important!
Hop BroExactly. It's a light snack choice that works really well. Unlike heavier seasoned jellyfish dishes, this one stays out of the beer's way.
MugiNo way! So it'd be great with Duranta? Also, is tap number three like a beer-world ticket counter?
Hop BroPretty much. Pouring from tap three means it's connected to the third draft line. It's served in an S-size-only glass too, and while the post doesn't list the style, it definitely sounds like an easy, breezy pour.
MugiI'm done for, I want a beer in Ueno right now! Do I start with the juicy pork or cool off with the jellyfish ponzu?
Hop BroThat's the right problem to have. TOWA is great for beer and food pairing, so you can go from hearty to light and keep the whole run balanced.
MugiThen it's settled! I want Duranta in hand while I work through both new snacks.
TOWA in Ueno is a beer pub built for people who want to enjoy food and beer together. In its recent Instagram post, the shop introduced two new snacks: homemade roast pork and jellyfish with ponzu.
The roast pork is described as slowly cooked at low temperature, giving it a moist texture and generous volume. It is served with a house ponzu sauce, which keeps the finish bright and refreshing. The jellyfish with ponzu is a seasonal summer item, highlighted for its crunchy texture and lighter, more delicate profile compared with standard Chinese-style jellyfish appetizers.
The post also mentions “Duranta” from Vertere, which is currently connected to tap 3. It is being served in a dedicated S-size glass. With both hearty meat dishes and lighter snacks on offer, the lineup makes it easy to pair food with different beer styles.
Located on the second floor in Ueno, TOWA is an easy stop for a casual beer break. The post reads as a straightforward update, but it also shows the pub’s strength: a place where craft beer and food are kept in clear balance, especially in the summer season.
