Yurakucho TASTY kicks off its Sustainable Fair, featuring two Rebread beers
At Tokyo Aleworks Station Taproom Yurakucho - TASTY, the "Sustainable Fair: Eat Deliciously, Move Society" has begun, centered on circular ingredients. Built around two craft beers that reuse bread that would otherwise have been discarded, the event offers food and beer together under the elevated tracks near the station.
Hop BroPeople are talking about the Sustainable Fair launching at Tokyo Aleworks Station Taproom Yurakucho - TASTY in Yurakucho!
MugiWhat! There’s an event that close to the station? The name "Eat Deliciously, Move Society" already has me curious!
Hop BroThe main attraction is the two Rebread beers made by reusing unsold bread: "Sustainable Rebread IPA" and "Sustainable Rebread Wheat Ale."
MugiWhat are those! As a beginner, what’s the difference between IPA and Wheat Ale?
Hop BroIPA has a bright hop aroma and a crisp edge, while Wheat Ale is all about a soft mouthfeel and a pleasant toasted grain character.
MugiWow, so it’s not just the bread story, the flavors are different too. This is such a must-compare tasting!
Hop BroAnd the food is strong too. They even have burgers with upcycled buns made with reclaimed barley flour, like a teriyaki bacon egg burger and a chicken menchi-katsu burger.
MugiBurgers too!? Beer and food in a cycle where you can do something good for society while having fun is the best!
Hop BroIt’s interesting from a brewing perspective too, because they’re folding unsold bread into the mashing process.
MugiWait, what is the mashing process? Is this suddenly a science class?
Hop BroSimply put, it’s the step where starches in the grains are turned into sweetness to create the base of the beer. That’s why you can taste the toasted background from the bread.
MugiI get it! Now I really want to drink one. Tonight, let’s toast with Rebread in Yurakucho!
A delicious cycle begins under Yurakucho Station's elevated tracks
At Tokyo Aleworks Station Taproom Yurakucho - TASTY in Yurakucho, Tokyo, the sustainable project "Sustainable Fair: Eat Deliciously, Move Society" is now underway. In addition to the easy access of being under the JR Yurakucho Station elevated tracks, the venue has the openness of an open kitchen, making it an easy place to stop by after work.
The highlight this time is the "Rebread" series, which reuses unsold bread as an ingredient. The beers being offered are the following two:
- Sustainable Rebread IPA (TOKYO ALEWORKS)
- Sustainable Rebread Wheat Ale (TOKYO ALEWORKS)
The Wheat Ale is designed to deliver a soft mouthfeel and a pleasant toasted grain character, making it a glass that lets you enjoy both the story and the flavor born from bread. The IPA, meanwhile, stands out for letting you drink it while appreciating not only the hop character, but also the background of the upcycled ingredient.
On the food side, there are also burgers made with buns kneaded with reclaimed barley flour, including a teriyaki bacon egg burger and a chicken menchi-katsu burger. The lineup lets guests experience "upcycling" through both beer and food, offering a chance to engage with the cycle of food while enjoying craft beer.
