Hop BroThe night menu from Brasserie SOMA, a brewpub in Kokurakita Ward, is interesting. It is a dish of boar meat slowly simmered with Itsutose Spice Ale, and it really speaks to beer lovers.
MugiWait, they cook it with beer!? So it is not for drinking, but for becoming the backbone of the dish?
Hop BroExactly. It is not just used for aroma; the fragrance and richness of the four spices support the whole stew. When that meets the bold savoriness of boar meat, it gives you a really strong sense of eating meat.
MugiWow! Boar meat sounds a bit hardcore, but when you hear wild-flavored it suddenly starts sounding delicious.
Hop BroAnd in the post, they even say it goes well with red wine. It is impressive that it is designed not just for beer, but also as a drink to enjoy with a meal.
MugiSo that is what they mean by a food-pairing drink. In other words, the food and drink are arranged to be enjoyed together, not with the beverage as the main focus?
Hop BroExactly. Brasserie SOMA is a place in Uomachi where you can enjoy craft beer and food, so this kind of idea to work beer into the dish suits them perfectly. It is less flashy and more subtly effective.
MugiOhhh! And it is a night recommendation. 17:00-22:00 makes it sound easy to stop by after work, which is really convenient.
Hop BroExactly. They are closed on Sundays and Mondays, and they also have lunch service on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so it is nice that it is easy to plan a visit.
MugiNow I am completely hungry! Boar meat spice ale stew would be incredible with a beer in hand.
Hop BroThat is the fun of craft beer. If you can enjoy a dish like this along with a drink while going out for tonight's pint, it really does not get much better than that.
