Beer Pub Ishii serves taco rice with four Japanese craft beers
Beer Pub Ishii in Sendagi has posted its latest tap list, pairing taco rice with four Japanese craft beers. The lineup features Hop Kotan Brewing, Shingetsu Beer, Hansharo Beer, and Shiga Kogen Beer in the pub's rotating, small-batch style.
Hop BroSendagi's Beer Pub Ishii just dropped a seriously good tap list. They've paired it with taco rice and lined up four pours, from Hop Kotan to Shiga Kogen Beer.
MugiWhat! Taco rice with beer works? I thought beer only dated fries, and now it's suddenly in a rice relationship?
Hop BroIt works really well. The place runs a four-tap setup: three rotating lines and one regular. It's a small pub, so every visit feels different.
MugiWhoa. But Hop Kotan's ONE LAP BEHIND sounds like a beer that missed the starting gun. I kind of need answers.
Hop BroThe name definitely has personality. They also poured Shingetsu Beer's Oatmeal Stout, a dark beer with oats that make the texture softer and smoother.
MugiHold on, oaty texture? What does that even mean? Please tell me I'm not drinking warm breakfast.
Hop BroNot breakfast, no. It means a silky mouthfeel that rounds out the roasted flavor instead of making it feel sharp or dry.
MugiOkay, then Hansharo Beer's Green Tea Ale is one of those drinks where my brain files a complaint, right?
Hop BroThat's the correct reaction. It layers green tea aroma into an ale, and next to Shiga Kogen Beer's SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver Label ver., the contrast sounds like a lot of fun.
MugiAnd then you finish with taco rice? That's not a tap list, that's a full evening plan with excellent judgment.
Hop BroExactly. The charm here is drinks through dinner: you can start with a couple of beers, then land on a proper meal and end satisfied.
MugiThis is dangerous in the best way. Now I want to drink all four in order and seal the deal with taco rice at the end.
