torne_craftbeer in Osaka wraps up Hands-On: Saison & Sushi night, featuring Fair Isle Brewing's Nels
Osaka's torne_craftbeer posted a recap of its July 5 event, Hands-On: Saison & Sushi. The rainy night still drew a crowd, oysters sold out, and the sushi pairing concept was well received, with Fair Isle Brewing's Nels singled out in the caption.
Hop BroI wanted to bring up Hands-On : Saison & Sushi today: at torne_craftbeer in Osaka's Tenroku, the rain didn't slow people down and they even sold out of oysters.
MugiWait, sushi as the otoshi? That's too powerful. Starting beer service with mackerel pressed sushi is basically cheating!
Hop BroAnd they were serving mackerel bo-zushi, kakinoha-zushi, temari-zushi, and hosomaki at random, plus they're planning a la carte ate-zushi for around 500 yen a roll in limited numbers.
MugiWhoa, but does saison with sushi really work that well? Is white wine losing its seat at the table?
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Saison has lively carbonation and a dry finish, so it lifts the fat from the fish and pulls you into the next bite.
MugiWhat is that! You were about to say that phenolic thing again, and every time you do, your face turns full brewer mode.
Hop BroIt just means spice-like aromas from the yeast, like pepper or herbs, and that lines up nicely with vinegared rice and the aroma of the fish.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! And that lineup is wild. Fair Isle Brewing showing up with Nels makes one corner of Tenma feel like an overseas beer trip.
Hop BroExactly, and that pint of Nels was singled out as absurdly delicious, even in a tap list stacked with Tomodachi Saison and Earl Grey Tea Infused Lambic.
MugiBeer, food, and music all together like that? torne's whole vibe sounds way too good. My stomach and my throat are both already on the way.
Hop BroThat's the finish right there: sushi first, saison next, then Nels after. I want a glass now and I'm not pretending otherwise.
