Toriidou Brewery announces July 5 pairing dinner, with five seats left
Toriidou Brewery in Kanuma will host a pairing dinner on July 5, starting at 6:00 p.m. The brewery says five seats remain, and the evening will feature Italian-inspired dishes plus a craft sake brewed with support from Maenikko Brewery.
Hop BroToday's headline is Toriido Brewery running a pairing dinner on July 5 at 6:00 p.m., and with only five seats left it's suddenly very real.
MugiWait, only five seats left? That's the kind of event that sells out while I'm still deciding what shoes to wear!
Hop BroAnd it's a 6:00 p.m. group start, with an Italian-based course from Chef Tomoya, so they want everyone there a little early.
MugiA group start? What is this, a gourmet boss battle? Why does everyone begin at once?
Hop BroBecause it's a pairing dinner, right? When the dishes and drinks arrive in sequence, each match hits the way it's supposed to.
MugiWhat even is pairing? That word sounds like I should already own tasting notes and a serious face!
Hop BroIt's simpler than it sounds. Think of it as food and drink harmony you can taste on the spot. Since it's Italian-based, the aroma and acidity should really play.
MugiOoh, and that hoppy craft sake from the article, is it beer, sake, or a delicious undercover agent?
Hop BroIt's craft sake made with help from Maenikko Brewery, basically a rice-based drink layered with hop aroma. Toriido's brewer being involved is what makes it extra interesting.
MugiAnd there's even a souvenir? That's maximum treat energy... July 5 sounds like the kind of night that fixes both hunger and thirst.
Hop BroYeah, this is a food-and-drink experience with Toriido all over it, and just imagining the first sip is making me thirsty.
MugiI'm sold. I want a glass right now, and then I want to make a beeline for Kanuma!
