BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI highlights cauliflower fritters with Kesennuma Pride
BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI in Kokubuncho, Sendai introduced cauliflower fritters as a recommended food menu item. The dish is built with yogurt, honey, cumin, herbs, jalapeño, and dukka, and the post points to Kesennuma Pride as a natural beer pairing.
Hop BroI want to talk about the cauliflower fritter BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI just spotlighted in Kokubuncho, Sendai. Pairing it with Kesennuma Pride is the kind of move I respect.
MugiWait, what! A beer spot leading with food pairing instead of beer? They're trying to make me hungry and thirsty at the same time!
Hop BroThat is very BTB. The match is Kesennuma Pride, BLACK TIDE BREWING's flagship IPA, and it's built to catch all that richness from the dish.
MugiI know what IPA means, but what is a dank character supposed to be? That sounds weirdly like a basement and now I'm concerned.
Hop BroNothing suspicious, relax. It means a deep hop aroma with citrus and pine notes from Citra and Chinook, plus that resinous, punchy edge.
MugiOhh, so the lard-fried fritter with yogurt, honey, cumin, then mint, cilantro, and jalapeno is basically a flavor roller coaster!
Hop BroExactly, and then they finish it with dukkah for an extra nutty hit. Sweetness, acidity, spice, and aroma rise one after another, and the IPA bitterness snaps it into focus.
MugiHold on, what is dukkah? A special move? A seasoning? In my head the cauliflower is already getting combo attacked.
Hop BroIt's a Middle Eastern mix of nuts and spices, so in simple terms it's grown-up magic topping. That's why the whole plate has such a clear shape as a beer snack.
MugiI always pictured BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI as a taco place, but they're going hard on food too. I really like that it's not a one-trick menu.
Hop BroA Kesennuma-born brewery bringing that to central Sendai and making you bounce between food and beer is the charm. This is a pairing I want now.
MugiDone, I'm in. One bite of that fluffy fritter and one sip of Kesennuma Pride sounds like the perfect beer moment. I want to run to the pub already!
BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI, the brewery-run beer pub in central Sendai, has spotlighted cauliflower fritters as part of its food menu. The cauliflower is fried in lard for a crisp finish and a fluffy, sweet core. It is served with a yogurt, honey, and cumin sauce, then layered with a bright, spicy sauce made with mint, coriander, and jalapeño. A finishing dusting of dukka adds toasted coriander seed, mixed nuts, and another layer of aroma and texture.
The post also suggests pairing the dish with Kesennuma Pride, BLACK TIDE BREWING’s flagship IPA. According to the brewery’s official beer page, it brings citrus notes from Citra and Chinook together with a piney, dank character and a balanced malt presence. That makes it a sensible match for the fritter’s richness, spice, and lingering herbal notes.
BLACK TIDE BREWING - SENDAI sits in Kokubuncho and gives drinkers a chance to enjoy BTB beers without heading all the way to Kesennuma. While tacos are often associated with the taproom, this post shows that the kitchen’s appeal goes beyond them. For beer drinkers who like their food menu to work as a pairing guide, this is exactly the kind of taproom detail worth watching.
