Sakazuki Brewing announces “Pairing Day Today” on Instagram
Sakazuki Brewing in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, announced “Today is Pairing Day!” in an Instagram post at 6:17 p.m. on April 30. The post highlights the appeal of enjoying house-brewed beer alongside food, in keeping with the character of a brewpub where both can be enjoyed in the same place.
Hop BroThat Instagram announcement of "Today is Pairing Day!" from Adachi Ward, Tokyo really feels like Sakazuki Brewing, doesn’t it? When they post something this short on Instagram, it makes you imagine what’s behind it even more.
MugiHuh, what’s a Pairing Day? Does that mean it’s a day to enjoy beer together with food, not just beer alone?
Hop BroExactly. It’s a day that puts the pairing of beer and food front and center. Sakazuki Brewing is a brewpub with brewing facilities on-site, so being able to serve a freshly made pint that also fits the meal is one of its strengths.
MugiOhh! But how is a brewpub different from a regular izakaya?
Hop BroIt’s a place with an attached brewery, where they can serve beer brewed on-site right away. In a neighborhood like Kitasenju, where old-town dining spots are clustered together, it feels great when the meal itself completes the experience.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And they offer a wide range of styles too, so just looking at the menu would probably make me get totally lost!
Hop BroThat’s the fun of craft beer. It’s not just about aroma and bitterness; sweetness and sourness can also change their expression depending on the food. For example, with fried dishes the bitterness can feel sharper, and with sour dishes the beer can turn brighter and more lively.
MugiWait, the taste changes depending on the food!? I thought beer was something you just drank on its own, but now it suddenly feels so much deeper...!
Hop BroThis Instagram post doesn’t show the detailed pairings, but I like how it puts the appeal as a meal accompaniment front and center. It’s very Sakazuki Brewing to suggest, “Today isn’t just a day for drinking; it’s also a day for eating.”
MugiGot it, this is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want to raise a glass in Kitasenju! If I can enjoy both beer and food together, I know for sure I’d stay a long time!
