Tono Brewing to host a two-day collaboration with Kawada Mojiyaki-ten
Tono Brewing in Iwate Prefecture will host a collaboration event with traveling monjayaki vendor Kawada Mojiyaki-ten on September 2-3 at its taproom. The event pairs more than 10 monjayaki options with the brewery’s own craft beer and is now taking reservations.
Hop BroHere’s a good one: Tono Brewing is hosting a Kawada Mojiyaki collab at its taproom on September 2-3.
MugiWhat! A brewery doing a monjayaki event? I’m hungry just hearing that.
Hop BroAnd Tono Brewing is right in Tonos, Iwate, a famous hop-growing area, with six house-brewed taps pouring all the time.
MugiWait, what does 6 TAP mean? Six beer faucets? Like some kind of beer robot arm?
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. A tap is the draft line, so it means six beers on draft. The robot version can come later.
MugiOoh, then with more than ten kinds of monjayaki, that’s endless pairing potential! My stomach is already making plans.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Kawada Mojiyaki comes from a 56-year-old shop in Ashikaga, and it serves a traditional no-bank style with fewer fillings.
MugiHold on, no bank? The monja wall doesn’t happen? I thought that little moat move was mandatory!
Hop BroRight, it skips the wall and cooks in an older mojiyaki style, and the whole thing is a beer-focused pop-up. That’s a smart move.
MugiAnd entry is free, the monjayaki is pay-what-you-want, and September 2 is almost full if you book by DM or phone... that’s dangerously convincing.
Hop BroSeptember 3 still has room, and the taproom is just three minutes from Tono Station, so it really feels like two days in hop country.
MugiThat settles it. Standing by the hot griddle with a Tono beer sounds perfect. I want a pint now.
Kawada Mojiyaki-ten, a traveling monjayaki shop, will return to Tono Brewing’s TAPROOM for a two-day collaboration on Wednesday, September 2 and Thursday, September 3.
The post says visitors can enjoy more than 10 kinds of monjayaki together with craft beer. Admission is free, and the monjayaki is offered on a pay-what-you-wish basis. Reservations are accepted by DM or by phone, and the brewery notes that September 2 is nearly full while September 3 still has room.
Kawada Mojiyaki-ten is a monjayaki shop from Ashikaga, Tochigi, with a 56-year history. The owner, who carries on the family recipe, travels around Japan with a griddle and serves a style of monjayaki that uses few ingredients and no dough wall, in the traditional manner.
Tono Brewing is based in Tono, Iwate, an area known for hop cultivation. Its taproom is a three-minute walk from Tono Station and serves house-brewed beer on six taps. The brewery’s mission is to create an open beer culture rooted in local ingredients and the community. The event should be a fitting meeting point for regional food and fresh beer in Japan’s hop country.
