PANENA Collaboration Begins at Fructus Sakaba in Osaka, Runs Through May 31
At the beer pub Fructus Sakaba in Utsubo Honmachi, Osaka, a collaboration event with UTSUBO BAKERY PANENA began on May 20. Through May 31, guests can enjoy snacks made with bread paired with the pub's craft beers.
Hop BroThe PANENA collaboration has started in Osaka's Utsubo Honmachi, and Fructus Sakaba is running a bread-and-beer festival from May 20 through May 31.
MugiWhat! A bread-and-beer festival? That's basically a guaranteed win already. And it has such strong Osaka food vibes!
Hop BroAnd the star of it is great too. They're using PANENA's buttermilk bread for a toast topped with mentaiko Calpis butter and stracciatella.
MugiWhat is that! Stracciatella sounds like expert-level stuff just from the name. It's like the final boss of the cheese world!
Hop BroSimply put, it's a milky, gentle cheese. On top of that, the chewy-and-fluffy texture of the high-hydration bread makes it a really good match.
MugiOhh, so that's the chewy-fluffy thing. Just imagining it makes me hungry... but what beer is the right pairing?
Hop BroThe article recommends English pale ale or bitter. They don't get in the way of the bread's toastiness or buttery richness, and they're great at supporting it.
MugiWhoa, hearing that bitter is the best makes me want a drink right away! But the tap lineup is amazing too, right?
Hop BroExactly. They've got Dank City IPA, SOYOKAZE, and even MUGICHA Bitter, so the range is broad. It's fun that you can play from the hop explosion of an IPA all the way to the crisp finish of an Italian pilsner.
MugiWait, that's basically a bread-and-drink set! If I had a toast snack and a pint at Fructus Sakaba, I'd probably laugh and order a second one!
Hop BroNo doubt about it. If one spot in the Utsubo Park area has this much on offer, beer lovers and bread lovers alike will be drawn in. This is definitely one of those things that makes you want to eat, drink, and find out for yourself.
At the beer pub Fructus Sakaba in Utsubo Honmachi, Nishi Ward, Osaka, a collaboration event with UTSUBO BAKERY PANENA has kicked off. Running from May 20 through May 31, it proposes pairings of bread-centered dishes with craft beer.
In this collaboration, PANENA is selling the "Boiled Tongue Choela Sandwich" made with Fructus Sakaba's spice dishes. On the Fructus Sakaba side, the pub is offering snacks made with PANENA's bread. The post also introduced the "Mentaiko Calpis Butter and Stracciatella Toast," made with PANENA's "Buttermilk Bread." It combines mentaiko and Calpis butter on a high-hydration loaf made with 100% domestically grown wheat.
For beer pairings, the post says, "English pale ale and bitter are the perfect match." Another highlight of the event is its simple construction, which brings out the flavor of the bread.
