Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front posts Today’s Recommend with oyster fritter mala celery sauce
Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front featured oyster fritters with mala celery sauce as its Today’s Recommend on August 27. The tap list centered on the brewery’s own beers, with a broad lineup of guest pours at this beer pub near Yokohama Station.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, where the mala celery sauce oyster fry is stealing the show.
MugiWhat! Oyster fry with mala celery sauce sounds like somebody turned bar food into a boss battle!
Hop BroThat is the fun part. They stack crispy fried oysters with chili oil and huajiao, so you get toasty umami and a bright tingle in one bite.
MugiHold on, that huajiao tingle is what exactly? Am I about to lose normal human speech after one bite?
Hop BroNot that dramatic. Mala basically means chili heat plus the fresh numbing lift from Sichuan pepper, and the crunchy celery keeps the finish from getting heavy.
MugiOkay, that makes sense! So would their flagship Bay Pilsner be the move with it? And also, what makes a pilsner different from a lager?
Hop BroGood question. A pilsner is a lager style, and Bay Pilsner sounds clean and snappy, while the Hallertau Edition should bring a more herbal hop aroma that works nicely with oysters.
MugiAnd the taps go from IPA to porter, right? Bay Weiss, Yuzu Weiss, Team Up IPA... I would need a full strategy meeting just to order.
Hop BroThe guest list is strong too. From Pilsner Urquell to DD4D, this is the kind of lineup that already has me picturing a pint next to that oyster plate.
MugiFive minutes from Yokohama Station and open 11:30 to 23:00? That is dangerously convenient. I absolutely want the oyster fry and a beer now.
