MugiWhat? French fried chicken? And Samurai Sauce—is it spicy enough to slice through a table?
Hop BroThe name is fierce, but it is a sweet-and-spicy sauce popular in France, generously coating crispy fried chicken.
MugiOoh, crispy coating, juicy chicken, and sweet heat... that sounds like a beer-stealing snack!
Hop BroExactly. A bright, easy-drinking pale-colored beer can refresh your palate after the richness of fried food.
MugiWhat does pale-colored mean? Does lighter color mean the flavor is weak too?
Hop BroNot necessarily. It simply describes a beer’s lighter appearance; many such beers happen to have a crisp, refreshing character.
MugiGot it! Then what should I choose for the sweet heat? Tell me the spice-friendly beer!
Hop BroTry a beer with expressive hop aroma. Citrus-like notes can mingle with the sauce for an aromatic pairing.
MugiSo hops do more than bitterness! Hunting through the taps for a match sounds like a little treasure hunt!
Hop BroChoose four pieces for a solo pint or six for sharing. Being on Atre Kichijoji’s first floor makes it ideal for a quick station-side beer.
MugiThen I’m ordering six and sampling everyone’s beer... but first, let’s toast with freshly fried chicken!
