PEDROLINO in Osaka shares homemade sesame tofu and seven beers
Osaka beer pub PEDROLINO used its latest Instagram post to highlight homemade sesame tofu and a tap list spanning seven beers, from Nara Brewing’s CAMOUFLAGE and EIGHTY EIGHT to a tea-infused lambic from Oud Beersel.
Hop BroToday’s story is PEDROLINO in Osaka bringing back homemade sesame tofu, with seven taps running from Nara Brewing to Belgium.
MugiWait, I came for beer and got sesame tofu headlines instead? Is this pub trying to feed me, pour for me, or both at once?!
Hop BroThat balance is the charm. Nara Brewing’s CAMOUFLAGE is a Hazy IPA at 6.0%, so it should be juicy and aromatic right out of the glass.
MugiWhoa, but what even is a Hazy IPA? The name already sounds like my brain before lunch!
Hop BroIt’s an IPA with a cloudy look and softer bitterness, often fruitier to drink. Then Brasserie Knot’s AWA- is a Helles at 5.0%, clean and crisp enough to sit nicely with sesame tofu.
MugiOkay, so one is the fog machine and one is the refresh button. And farmentry’s Dark Mild being almost gone makes me want to sprint there!
Hop BroDark Mild is a mild ale at 3.0% ABV, super easygoing. Then PEDROLINO jumps sideways into Oud Beersel with a tea-infused lambic, which is where things get delightfully nerdy.
MugiWhat is that! Lambic sounds alive somehow, and now there’s tea in it too? Am I ordering a beer or opening a wizard’s pantry?
Hop BroLambic is a Belgian sour style fermented with wild microbes, and this Earl Grey version layers in tea aroma. Nara Brewing’s EIGHTY EIGHT is also a saison with green tea, so the tap list basically starts a tea relay.
MugiA tea relay inside a beer lineup is absurdly elegant. Then Y.MARKET BREWING brings a classic malt-and-hop finish with Junnama Alt and Purple Jet Sky, right?
Hop BroExactly. Junnama Alt should be toasty, and Purple Jet Sky gives you that bright American pale ale lift. With seven taps from Japan to Belgium, this looks like a slow, food-friendly night.
MugiThat settles it. Sesame tofu first, CAMOUFLAGE next, lambic after that, and then a toast at PEDROLINO before I start talking like a beer menu myself!
Osaka beer pub PEDROLINO, located in Andoji-cho, Chuo Ward, shared an Instagram post featuring homemade sesame tofu. The dish was presented as a long-awaited return, and the note also suggested a busy service period with many reservations.
Beer lineup
- `CAMOUFLAGE` (Nara Brewing / Nara): Hazy IPA, ABV 6.0%
- `AWA-` (Brasserie Knot / Hokkaido): Helles, ABV 5.0%
- `Dark Mild` (farmentry / Nara): mild ale, ABV 3.0%, almost sold out
- `EARL GREY TEA Infused Lambiek` (Oud Beersel / Belgium): straight lambic with Earl Grey tea, ABV 6.8%
- `EIGHTY EIGHT` (Nara Brewing / Nara): saison with green tea, ABV 6.0%
- `純生アルト` (Y.MARKET BREWING / Aichi): alt, ABV 5.0%
- `Purple Jet Sky` (Y.MARKET BREWING / Aichi): American pale ale, ABV 5.5%
What stands out here is the range: a hazy IPA, Helles, mild ale, lambic, saison, altbier, and American pale ale all appear on the same list. For beer drinkers, that means a lineup that moves comfortably from local Japanese breweries to a Belgian lambic, with a house-made sesame tofu dish adding a food side worth lingering over.
