Bakushu-ya Pogology to Host Chicken Event 'Tori Jiro' on April 26, Serving 14 Draft Beers
The beer pub "Bakushu-ya Pogology" in Chuo Ward, Osaka, will hold its chicken-focused event "Tori Jiro" starting at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 26. On the day, it will offer 14 craft beers to match the chicken dishes, along with various reservation-only course options.
Hop BroIn Osaka's Chuo Ward, Tori Jiro is happening at Bakushu-ya Pogology from 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 26. From charcoal-grilled yakitori to small plates and fried dishes, I like how the whole night is built around chicken.
MugiWait! Can you really have that much fun with just chicken? A chicken-dish event sounds like it would make my stomach growl before the beer does!
Hop BroWhat makes it serious is that 14 draft beers are lined up there. The range runs from IPA, saison, hazy, to pale ale, so it works both with food and for side-by-side tasting.
MugiWait, what's the difference between IPA and saison? There are so many style differences that my head is already covered in foam!
Hop BroIn short, IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness in the spotlight, while saison's appeal is its fermentation-derived spiciness and lightness. This time, hop-forward IPAs are the core, but being able to switch up your palate while eating is the strength.
MugiI see, so you wash the chicken fat down with beer! And if you pair it with charcoal-grilled yakitori, the toasty aroma will just keep multiplying!
Hop BroAnother highlight is the impressive lineup of breweries. It's exciting that Oni Densetsu and Nara Brewing are in there, along with Shiga Kogen Beer, WEST COAST BREWING, Brasserie Knot, and Minoh Beer.
MugiWow, so many names I know! But Behemoth is showing up too? Bringing New Zealand into this, just how big is this event going to be?!
Hop BroFor example, it's fun to track the differences in personality, like Oni Densetsu's Shishigami Oni IPA, Minoh Beer's HONEY SAISON, and Nara Brewing's LIGHTHOUSE nitro ver. It feels like all the star players of beer are lined up.
MugiIt's reassuring that there are reservation courses too, and it's nice that you can start with a casual drink! Let's just bundle up the chicken and beer and call it our victory for today!
