At the beer pub P2B Haus behind Tokyu in Kichijoji, a "stout beer x food" pairing event will begin on April 17. Four beers from Matsumoto Brewery, MARCA BREWING, Sankt Gallen, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer can be enjoyed together with four specially paired dishes.
Hop BroAt P2B Haus behind Tokyu in Kichijoji, a stout event runs for three days starting 4/17. Since this place is a beer pub with 12 taps, it has the strength to offer not just dark beers but all kinds of options.
MugiWhoa! You can drink four kinds with a 4,500-yen set? I thought stout would be heavy, but it sounds like it gets a lot more fun when paired with food!
Hop BroFirst is Matsumoto Brewery's Traditional Bitter with kombu-cured sea bream that has a citrus aroma. The bitterness and umami don't clash; they feel like they're holding hands.
MugiKombu-cured fish and beer? That's surprising, like a relative of sushi! But does fish really go with bitter beer?
Hop BroIt does. The umami from the kombu makes the fish feel fuller, so the beer's bitterness becomes not just bitterness, but the outline of umami. And next up is an adventurous pairing: MARCA BREWING's COFFEE AMBER with house-smoked cherry blossom mochi.
MugiWhat is that! Smoked cherry blossom mochi sounds like a Japanese sweet suddenly started camping. Sweet and smoky? That's definitely intriguing!
Hop BroThen there's Sankt Gallen's Orange Chocolate Stout with chicken tikka-style grilled chicken topped with mint and yogurt. The stout's roasted character layers with the orange aroma and spices, making it pretty dimensional.
MugiThe moment I heard "chicken tikka-style," my mouth was already flying to India! Stout with orange and chocolate sounds like dessert, but then meat shows up too. That's so fun!
Hop BroTo finish, it's Miyazaki Hideji Beer's Kuri Kuro with house-roasted pork and mole sauce. The richness of the dark beer, the gentle sweetness of the chestnut, and the depth of the mole come together for a satisfyingly full finish.
MugiBeing able to compare dark beers in Kichijoji is amazing! I'm curious about the taps beyond stout too, and this is definitely the kind of place where going in for one drink turns into having another!
Three Days Starting April 17: A Pairing Event Built Around Stout
At P2B Haus in Kichijoji Honcho, a "stout beer x food" pairing event will be held from Friday, April 17 through Sunday, April 19. The venue is a craft beer restaurant behind Tokyu in the Kichijoji Station area, a beer pub with 12 taps. As a place that carries a wide range of beers, from domestic staples to limited releases, this time the lineup centers on dark beers.
The event features a set plate combining four 180 ml beers with four dishes matched to each one, priced at 4,500 yen including tax. The pairings are Matsumoto Brewery's `MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter` with kombu-cured sea bream accented by citrus aroma, MARCA BREWING's `COFFEE AMBER` with house-smoked cherry blossom mochi, Sankt Gallen's `Orange Chocolate Stout` with chicken tikka-style grilled chicken with mint and yogurt, and Miyazaki Hideji Beer’s `Kuri Kuro` with house-roasted pork and mole sauce.
The four new kegs for the day are `MATSUMOTO Traditional Bitter`, `COFFEE AMBER`, `Orange Chocolate Stout`, and `Kuri Kuro`. The tap list also includes `CTO IPA`, `Jorurizaka Helles`, `Fiction`, `NORA`, `Ginkgo Slope`, `UNDERWATER :LUMINOUS`, and `WALTZ`, so there are also options beyond stout.
P2B Haus is a place suited not only to people already familiar with craft beer, but also to those who want to take their time with each glass while checking how it pairs with food. In Kichijoji, this is an event worth noting as a chance to taste dark beer and a thoughtfully assembled plate at the same time.
