Tokyo’s Koto Ward brewery and beer pub, Beer Vista Brewery, will hold the event “Ramen and Gyoza” on Saturday, June 6 from 14:00 to 22:00. For the venue, which champions “A Pint of Imagination” in the Morishita and Kiyosumi Shirakawa area, this will be its first time serving ramen. It is a food-led project that pairs craft beer with Chinese cuisine.

At this event, you can enjoy ramen by Kei Kirio, who is well known in craft beer circles, together with dumplings from Fukuda Gyoza. Fukuda Gyoza will serve its “Hatagaya-style hand-cut meat gyoza,” based on the flavor learned at Hatagaya’s Nio. The dumplings are characterized by the chunky texture of hand-cut meat and the chewy, handmade wrappers.

Meanwhile, Kei Kirio is positioning his ramen not as a final bowl after drinking, but as “snack ramen”, the key point being that it is designed to be enjoyed with beer. The event announcement also emphasized the combination of piping-hot food and ice-cold beer.

Beer Vista Brewery is a brewery and beer pub in Tokyo’s Morishita and Kiyosumi Shirakawa area. With the brewing space and dining space located next to each other, its appeal lies in being able to enjoy beer and food close to the maker. The lineup ranges widely from easy-to-drink staples for everyday use to more distinctive labels, and the food has also been developed with beer pairing in mind.

This “Ramen and Gyoza” event can be said to clearly showcase that style. While putting beer at the center, it proposes Beer Vista Brewery’s signature food combinations as a one-off event built around ramen and gyoza. For anyone in Koto Ward looking to enjoy Chinese food with craft beer, it looks like an event worth checking out.
