Hop BroThey’re going bold in the basement in front of Tokushima Station with Yoi Tori’s five-beer tasting set. T.S.Brewery / Yakitori Sakagura Yoi Tori is a brewpub where you can enjoy their house beers all in one go.
MugiWhat! A place that serious in the station basement!? Craft beer right next to the station is way too tempting on the way home.
Hop BroThe lineup is great too. It’s built around Pale Ale, Sudachi Honey, and Stout, plus two seasonal specials, so you can start with the classics and get a feel for the flavor profile.
MugiBut I hear Pale Ale all the time, so what does “pale” actually mean? It’s not just about the color being light, right?
Hop BroGood question. The appeal is that the hop aroma takes center stage, with a balance of bitterness and citrus notes that’s easy to enjoy. It’s approachable, but it still feels like beer.
MugiGot it! Then Sudachi Honey already sounds delicious just from the name. Sudachi aroma plus the mellow sweetness of honey is such a sneaky good combination!
Hop BroExactly, it sounds like a bottle with a strong sense of local citrus harmony. And Stout has that roasted aroma that should pair well without fighting the char of the yakitori.
MugiRoasted aroma, like coffee? And pairing it with yakitori - are dark beer and chicken really that good together?
Hop BroYeah, the toasty character from the roasted malt is a natural match. Especially Awaodori chicken yakitori can handle either salt or tare, and it also goes well with dishes that have the flavor of dashi.
MugiAnd they even have Local Fish & Chips!? They’re serious about the food, not just the beer. My stomach has completely lost the argument!
Hop BroAnd since they’re open from 11:30 to 22:00, you can go from daytime drinking to the evening. It’s easy to stop by while traveling, and being able to drink something freshly brewed in the station basement is a big plus.
MugiYou’ve got to stop there if you go to Tokushima. Being able to enjoy yakitori and house-brewed beer at the same time is enough to make my throat stir just imagining it!
Hop BroAt the end, I’d want to take my time comparing the three standard beers and the two seasonal limited ones, and enjoy how each glass shows a different side. Now I really want to go drink there right away.
