Hop BroIn Osaka's Abeno, Komorevia's featured post introduced the Hyogo collaboration "Dragon Lager" on ON TAP. A beer pub that recommends it with oysters in mind really seems to know what it's doing.
MugiWhoa, Dragon Lager sounds intense just from the name! And if it's meant to go with oysters, it suddenly feels like the world of grown-ups!
Hop BroWhat's interesting is that the brewery listing says Egret × Honda Shoten. And the style is Rice Koji Pilsner, so it's a collaboration beer using rice koji.
MugiRice Koji Pilsner means, like, a pilsner with rice koji? Wait, does that mean a friend of miso soup is getting into beer?!
Hop BroBasically, koji helps with saccharification, making it easier to bring out gentle sweetness and aroma. And because it's layered onto a pilsner-like crispness, it ends up designed to be easy to drink without feeling heavy.
MugiOhhh! And with 4.5% alcohol and an IBU of 10, it sounds really light and refreshing! That's the kind you can gulp down, dangerous!
Hop BroExactly. With an IBU of 10, the bitterness is restrained, and just as the post says, it leans toward being refreshing and crisp. So it won't get in the way of the oysters' saltiness or umami; it actually lifts them up.
MugiOysters can feel a little intimidating, but when something is called a great match for oysters, I suddenly want to eat them! Stopping by after Tennoji drinks or Abeno drinks sounds amazing!
Hop BroAnd it's in Matsuzakicho, Abeno Ward, Osaka City, so it's easy to drop in after work. Even without a flashy event, Komorevia has that feel of carefully sharing a beer you can drink right now.
MugiSo the plan is to start with Dragon Lager, pair it with oysters, and then maybe have one more... right? Wow, just reading this is making my throat remember beer!
Hop BroExactly. It's designed to make you think it's the one to choose first, so tonight I'd like to quietly nod along with oysters while drinking this lager at Komorevia.
MugiIt's decided! I'm in the mood for oysters and beer today too, and I want to toast with a crisp glass!
A Hyogo Collaboration Brew to Pair with Oysters
