The Koenji brewpub “And Beer” has announced its April 19 business hours and menu. The recommended beer is the Kesennuma Oyster Stout, and the lineup also includes oyster-based dishes such as oyster biryani and saag oysters. The shop will be open straight through from lunch to night, and takeout will also be available.
Hop BroOn April 19, Koenji's And Beer is coming at us hard with an all-oyster lineup centered on the Kesennuma Oyster Stout.
MugiWait, what do you mean all oyster dishes!? It sounds more like a diner than a beer bar, and now I'm hungry!
Hop BroAnd since it's open continuously from 11:30 to 21:00, you can go straight from lunchtime biryani to an evening drink.
MugiDaishi-gake biryani? What is that!? Do you pour dashi over rice? Is it a relative of soup curry?
Hop BroPretty much. When they pour on the dashi passed down directly from Tohbonsaisou, the aroma lifts and the oyster flavor spreads softly. It's the bridge between spice and dashi.
MugiOhhh! So the combo of oysters and spice is the kind of thing that makes you want to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. It's pretty slick how they spread the spotlight around the star Kesennuma oysters into mini gratin, spring rolls, and mapo tofu too.
MugiWhoa, it's like an oyster full-course meal! And they even do takeout? Isn't that against the rules?
Hop BroWhat's more, since it's a brewpub that pairs house-brewed beer with food, the rich stout made with both shells and meat matches the saltiness of the oysters perfectly.
MugiNow I totally want to have a drink in Koenji! Today I want to head to And Beer and get both oysters and beer all at once!

The store is located in Koenji Kita, Suginami Ward, Tokyo, and its appeal lies in the chance to enjoy house-brewed beer alongside spice dishes.
The food lineup for the day centers on oysters as the main attraction. It includes daishi-gake oyster biryani, taught directly by Tohbonsaisou, Kerala chicken keema, saag oysters, steamed oysters with kombu, mini gratin with Kesennuma oysters, Kesennuma oysters with shiso and bamboo shoots spring rolls, and Kesennuma oyster mapo tofu, with a spring-like combination of ingredients and oysters that stands out.
The recommended beer is the Kesennuma Oyster Stout. The post describes it as a flavorful stout made using not only oyster shells but also the oyster meat itself, giving it a rich body that overlaps with the malt's savory character.
