TEGAMISHA BREWERY to host mochiko chicken and craft beer event on September 5
TEGAMISHA BREWERY in Chofu, Tokyo, will host “MOCHIKO CHICKEN＆CRAFTBEER” on September 5 with FOOD TRUCK SHINCA, a kitchen car based near Sengawa Station in Setagaya. The event pairs Hawaiian-style mochiko chicken with the brewery’s craft beer lineup.
Hop BroToday I want to talk about Tegamisha Brewery’s new event. On September 5, they’re hosting “MOCHIKO CHICKEN & CRAFTBEER,” and that pairing sounds seriously tempting.
MugiWhat! Mochiko chicken and beer already sounds dangerous for my appetite! Where is this happening?
Hop BroIt’s at Tegamisha Brewery in Chofu. It was born at Nishichofu Base in 2020, and it started brewing on June 29, 2023 as a brewery pub.
MugiWhoa, okay! But brewery pub means what exactly? That suddenly sounds like a spell or a boss battle.
Hop BroBasically, it means a brewery you can drink in. They brew in-house and serve food too, with 10 taps of Japanese craft beer, so it’s like a secret base for beer lovers.
MugiThat sounds amazing! Ten taps lined up would make me freeze in front of the bar. So what’s special about the chicken?
Hop BroThey’re bringing in FOOD TRUCK SHINCA from the Sengawa Station area, and their signature dish is a Hawaiian local specialty, mochiko chicken. The chicken is coated in sweet rice flour and fried, so it comes out crispy outside and tender inside.
MugiNo way! Sweet rice flour magic does all that? Add beer to that and my mouth is basically throwing a festival!
Hop BroAnd here’s the kicker: there are five topping options. Homemade salsa, grated daikon ponzu, teri-mayo, cheddar cheese, and honey mustard, so even if the beer names and styles are a surprise until the day, the pairing possibilities are already wild.
MugiWow, that’s next-level chicken customization! I can already picture myself getting happy with teri-mayo, then needing another sip because of the salsa.
Hop BroAnd SHINCA’s mochiko chicken is a grand prix winning menu item. The event runs from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., food last order is 9:00 p.m., drinks last order is 9:30 p.m., and since it’s one-drink minimum with limited collab food, going early is the smart move.
MugiUnderstood! Fresh-fried chicken and a pint is not something I’m missing. I’m already hungry just imagining what I’d drink at Tegamisha Brewery!
Mochiko chicken meets craft beer
TEGAMISHA BREWERY opened in 2020 at the Nishi-Chofu base and began brewing on June 29, 2023. As a brewery pub run by Tegamisha, it serves 10 taps of domestic craft beer, including its own beer, alongside food, snacks, and bottle or can takeout.
The event, titled “MOCHIKO CHICKEN＆CRAFTBEER,” will take place on Saturday, September 5. The guest vendor is FOOD TRUCK SHINCA, which sells mochiko chicken from a kitchen car based near Sengawa Station in Setagaya. Mochiko chicken is a Hawaiian dish made by coating chicken in mochiko flour and frying it until the outside is crisp and the inside stays tender.
On the day, guests can order the original mochiko chicken as well as toppings such as house-made salsa, negi-oroshi ponzu, terimayo, cheddar cheese, and honey mustard. A mochiko chicken lunch set will also be available, making it suitable as both a beer snack and a full meal.
SHINCA’s mochiko chicken won the World Area Grand Prix at the 2024 Kitchen Car Gourmet Championship. The event runs from 1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with last orders at 9:00 p.m. for food and 9:30 p.m. for drinks. Food will be limited to the collaboration menu, and a one-drink order is required. It is a straightforward food-and-beer pairing event centered on freshly fried chicken and local craft beer in Chofu.
