MugiWait, I'm curious! The star of the day is Chicken Tikka Masala? The name alone makes me hungry!
Hop BroYeah, and it's paired with the IPA Tropical Cat. The way they bring aroma and crispness to spicy food is really smart.
MugiWhat does that even mean? How does the Belgian yeast-derived part connect to the cat's tropical vibe?
Hop BroIn short, the yeast creates a tropical aroma and spiciness, and it sharpens the finish so it stays crisp.
MugiOh, I get it! So it becomes a refreshing aftertaste combo with the tomato and coriander in the curry!
Hop BroExactly. ROMEO is also recommending Extra Special Bitter, even suggesting a pint for a more British vibe.
MugiDrinking both IPA and ESB at the same place?! That's a dual-wield pairing right there, and my stomach is applauding!
Hop BroThe path is nice and clear: Tropical Cat for spiced dishes, ESB when you want to savor the malt character. That's exactly what you'd expect from a house brewery.
MugiBeing able to enjoy that near Tokyo Skytree is the best... tonight I can only think about having a drink at ROMEO!
ROMEO BREWERY, which highlights its own house-brewed craft beer in Oshiage, shared its March 13 (Fri.) business hours and recommended pairings. According to the store's post, it will be open from 17:30 to 23:00 that day. It says it is preparing warming menu items for cold weather.
This time, the focus is on a food-and-beer pairing suggestion. The combination introduced was:
- "Chicken Tikka Masala"
- "Tropical Cat"
Chicken tikka masala is a dish finished with slowly sautéed onions, simmered chicken thighs, a broth-rich soup, and the brewery's original blend of curry spices. The recipe uses plenty of tomato and coriander to create a fresh finish, suggesting it is designed to match the beer's aroma and crispness.
On the beer side, Tropical Cat is described as an IPA with tropical, spicy aromas and a crisp finish derived from Belgian yeast. There was also a suggestion to enjoy Extra Special Bitter by the pint for a more British-style drinking experience. The idea is to pair aromatic IPA with spiced dishes, while choosing ESB when you want to savor malt character, making for the kind of drink pairing that fits this brewery.
For anyone in the Oshiage area near Tokyo Skytree who wants to enjoy a meal alongside house-brewed beer, this is one spot worth checking along with the taps available that day.
