Hop BroThe beer pub Beer Tsukasa in Uji, Kyoto has put out another interesting trial dish.
MugiWait! So a trial dish means you get to eat a recipe before it’s finished? An owner’s whim trial sounds exciting!
Hop BroThis time, it’s a dish where meat that was supposed to become kakuni somehow ended up leaning toward pulled pork.
MugiI get pulled pork, but what does somewhere between rillette even mean? It sounds loose and makes me even more curious!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it’s somewhere between the texture of shredded meat and the rich density of a paste. On top of that, it’s simmered with sake and Shaoxing wine, plus black mate tea, to bring the flavors together.
MugiWait, they even put in black mate tea? A tea that somehow makes it feel even more like a snack sounds amazing!
Hop BroAnd the finish is smoked soy sauce and honey. It doesn’t push the smokiness too hard, and it prioritizes overall harmony, which really feels like the owner’s style.
MugiAnd it’s bruschetta-style, 500 yen for three pieces, which makes it easy to grab! At 150 yen per extra piece, I’d definitely order seconds!
Hop BroWhat’s paired with it is Ise Kadoya Beer’s Niku Kyu IPA, and that’s great too. It’s a combination that’s meant to catch the meat’s umami, smoky aroma, and subtle sweetness.
MugiIf you can do this kind of whimsical pairing in Uji, then there’s no choice but to go today! Give me both the beer and the snack!
At Beer Tsukasa, a beer pub in Uji Myoraku, Uji City, Kyoto, the shop seems to be preparing a whimsical trial menu item from the owner to go along with service on Monday, April 27.
This dish began as meat that was originally intended to become kakuni, but before long it had taken on a finish somewhere between pulled pork and rillette. After searing it, the meat was simmered in sake, Shaoxing wine, and black mate tea, then seasoned with house-made smoked soy sauce and house-made smoked honey. Rather than pushing the smokiness or mate tea notes too far forward, it prioritizes overall balance, making it a trial dish that feels very much like the owner.
It is planned to be served bruschetta-style, at 500 yen for three pieces and an additional 150 yen per piece. By turning it into something easy to snack on, it is structured to pair well with beer.
The post also mentioned Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Niku Kyu IPA." It can be read as a comment with this trial menu in mind, as an IPA meant to embrace the meat’s umami, smoky aroma, and subtle sweetness.
