Hop BroMay 20 at Sakazuki Brewing is truly event-packed. There are 17 taps lined up, and the star is 《FUKAYOMI》.
MugiWow, that many? A beer to go with dessert sounds like going all the way to sweets with beer!
Hop BroExactly. When 《FUKAYOMI》 is tapped from the keg, the smoke impression comes forward more than in the can. That’s what I mean by the smoke character stands out from the tap.
MugiPeeaty and oak chips and all these words suddenly sound like spell-like terms!
Hop BroPeaty means a smoked kind of aroma, and oak chips refer to a barrel-like finish. So 《FUKAYOMI》 is a beer where roastiness and sweetness coexist.
MugiI see! And pairing that with a rich tiramisu of salt caramel and walnuts means they’re absolutely aiming to catch the beer with a rich tiramisu!
Hop BroSince cream and mascarpone are mixed with salt caramel sauce, it links up with the beer’s coffee-like and cocoa notes. The bridge of richness is really well done.
MugiAnd with names like 《shy girl》 and 《hangover!》, it already sounds fun! The 17 distinctive beers make the menu feel totally lively.
Hop BroAs you’d expect from a brewpub in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, the strength is the broad range from lagers to sour ales to dark styles. A place that’s good at pairing really knows how to put together a lineup like this.
MugiI’ve already decided how I feel about today! For tonight’s treat, I want to go with FUKAYOMI and tiramisu.
Hop BroNice. If you sip it slowly after the meal, you can enjoy the finish too, and that smoky character really works as the closer. As a finishing touch that makes you want to drink, this is a strong one.
17 taps and a beer to go with dessert
On May 20, Sakazuki Brewing (Adachi Ward, Tokyo) announced the day’s tap list and food pairing contents under the banner, “Today is Pairing Day!” The lineup included 《shy girl》 Bohemian pilsner, 《shy daddy》 American lager, 《Bye Bye OVATIFOLIA》 agave American pale ale, 《Hatsukaze》 sake-yeast beer, 《after the rain》 fruit beer (Tosa buntan IPA), 《hangover!》 imperial IPA, 《Time Thief》 English brown ale, 《Red shoes》 coffee beer (coffee amber), 《Twilight》 American IPA, 《KISS ME》 peanut chocolate milk stout, 《Yoru no Mori》 chocolate banana stout, and 《Akane Sasu》 a wood-spice fruit sour ale made with red grapes, among 17 beers with distinct personalities.
The highlight of the day was the opening of 《FUKAYOMI》. This beer was jointly developed to commemorate the renovation of Sanseido Bookstore’s Jimbocho Main Store, and the notice explains that when poured from the tap, it comes across a little differently than the can version, with a smoke impression coming forward more than a peaty one. Its mouthfeel is relatively sweet and full, and the finish from the oak chips lingers without becoming too heavy.
The pairing offered was “A rich tiramisu with salt caramel and walnuts.” Matching 《FUKAYOMI》, which carries elements reminiscent of caramel, roasted malt, coffee, and cocoa, the dessert is built around cream and mascarpone blended with a salt caramel sauce. The beer’s sweet roasty character, the dessert’s richness, saltiness, and slight bitterness overlap, creating a combination designed to let you enjoy the lingering finish as an after-meal plate.
Sakazuki Brewing is known as a brewpub that emphasizes beer and food pairings. Even at this Pairing Day, the lineup ranged from light lagers to dark beers and fruit beers, and the experience was structured so guests could enjoy the beers alongside desserts as well.
