The beer pub torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka, reported on May 31 that its "Ginshari" event had come to an end.

Hop BroAt torne_craftbeer in Tenroku, Osaka, the Ginshari gathering has ended. It was an event that put not just beer but rice accompaniments in the spotlight too, and honestly, that was pretty daring.
MugiWait, plain white rice is the star!? A beer pub hosting a rice-eating event is such a fun idea!
Hop BroExactly. Maefuku's boiled whitebait was called the best ever, and they even lined up sardines simmered in rice-bran miso and miso takuan.
MugiWhat is that! Does nuka miso-daki mean something like a cousin of pickles? Just the name makes me want to eat rice!
Hop BroClose, but a little different. It's a dish where sardines are slowly simmered in rice-bran miso to build up the flavor, basically a salty, savory rice companion.
MugiOh wow! And the beer lineup was amazing too, so this is what they mean by a meal-friendly selection. It sounds like both the rice and the beer would disappear fast!
Hop BroThe taps were fully loaded with 10 beers, ranging from Rice Lager and Porter to lambic. They had Choryo's Rice Lager, Shigakogen's Porter, and even Oud Beersel's Winter Lambiek.
MugiWait, they even had lambic!? Even though it's a rice-accompaniment event, you can still go on a beer journey!
Hop BroExactly. It wasn't just meal-friendly lagers either; they also crossed into pale-ale territory with beers like Nara Crush, Bearded Barbet, and Wakyo, so the more you ate, the more you wanted to drink.
MugiIf it's near Tenjimbashisuji 6-chome Station, it's easy to get to, and I'm curious about the whitebait coming back in the fall! This really makes me want seconds of both the rice and the beer!
Hop BroThey're open until midnight Monday through Thursday and until 2:00 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, so it's perfect for ending a night out. Starting with rice accompaniments and finishing with the taps is a flow I really like.
MugiHearing that, I'm done for, I want rice and a drink right now! Boiled whitebait and porter sound like they'd be an amazing match!
