MugiWait, you get a drink on the house if you go for lunch!? Rainy days are usually a little gloomy, but now I want to go even more!
Hop BroAnd it’s a street-level shop near Fujisaki Department Store, with a great location along Aoba-dori. The old amnt・Fbase was renovated, and now it feels much easier to walk into.
MugiI see. But what are the six taps? It sounds like a machine where you press six times and beer comes out, which gives it a kind of secret-base vibe!
Hop BroA tap is the nozzle where draft beer is poured. So it means there are six kinds of rotating draft beer on hand, and you can choose based on the food. That's less secret base and more serious adult business.
MugiOh, then what is craft beer stew!? Do they cook it in beer? That sounds like the food might get drunk!
Hop BroExactly. The beer adds depth and richness to the meat and sauce. The amnt Plate also goes really well with keema curry, and with all those vegetables it's just right for lunch.
MugiNow I'm hungry! And they even have about 100 bottled beers too? That's seriously strong, having beer ready to take home as well.
Hop BroYeah, the nice thing is that you can have one drink in the shop and then open a bottle after you get home. The at-home atmosphere of the open kitchen makes you want to linger.
MugiIt's close to the station too, and one minute on foot from Aoba-dori Ichibancho Station sounds doable even in the rain. And with the rainy-day perk too, it feels like there's no reason not to go today!
Hop BroExactly. Let's pair a vegetable-packed dish with craft beer from Tohoku and toast to the sound of the rain. This is the kind of place that makes you want a drink before you even go.
What Instagram announced
In the post, with rainy Aoba-dori as the backdrop, the shop announced that it would give lunch guests a “rainy-day perk” by offering a free lunch drink. It also added a line asking people to come carefully and watch their footing, conveying the casual atmosphere of a place where you can easily enjoy an everyday meal and a drink.
amnt's concept
amnt is a newly renovated version of “amnt・Fbase,” which used to operate in the basement of Sendai Forus. It is an at-home beer pub that pairs dishes made mainly with Sendai vegetables and carefully selected craft beers from around Tohoku, and its open kitchen creates a close, welcoming feel. The shop is a street-level location along Aoba-dori, near Fujisaki Department Store. A white exterior and bright interior, plaster walls, antique furniture, and different lounge chairs at each seat create an atmosphere where you can relax without putting on airs.
Points beer lovers will want to note
On the beer side, the shop has six taps inside, making it appealing for being able to enjoy rotating draft beers that change daily to match the food. Today's draft beers are announced on Instagram, so checking before you visit makes it easier to aim for what you want. It also supports takeout in special cups, and has about 100 kinds of bottled beer available. Being able to have one drink in the shop and then take a few bottles home is another strong point.
The food menu is also built to go well with beer. The popular lunch item, the “amnt Plate,” is a half-and-half of veggie-packed keema curry and craft beer stew. The signature “amnt A La Carte” lineup includes keema curry, craft beer stew, house-made pickles, and more, naturally calling for another drink. With its convenient location just a one-minute walk from Aoba-dori Ichibancho Station, it is an easy place to stop by in between shopping and strolling around town.
