Awa Beef Sirloin Seared Yukhoe Served at T.S.Brewery and Yoi-Tori in the Basement of Tokushima Station
At T.S.Brewery / Yakitori Sake Brewery Yoi-Tori in Clement Plaza B1, directly connected to Tokushima Station, one of the signature dishes is yukhoe finished by searing Awa Beef sirloin right in front of you. This station-linked brewpub can be enjoyed alongside the house craft beer "Baby Baby Pale Ale."
Hop BroToday's highlight is the brewpub T.S.Brewery / Yakitori Sake Brewery Yoi-Tori right next to Tokushima Station. The first strong point is that you can enjoy craft beer and yakitori together in the station basement.
MugiWait, you can do that in the basement of the station? And the signature dish is Awa Beef Sirloin Seared Yukhoe? Just the name already sounds delicious!
Hop BroExactly. They sear the sirloin right in front of you, so the aroma really comes through. The menu even says it's so soft you can cut it with chopsticks, and it brings out the meat's fatty richness beautifully.
MugiBut does yukhoe get seared? That sounds like raw-like texture and seared aroma coexisting, and my brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They lightly apply heat to make the surface fragrant while keeping the inside moist and tender, so the balance of the cooking is everything.
MugiI see! Then the drink to have with it is definitely beer. What does the guide mean by pairing with IPA?
Hop BroIPA has prominent hop aroma and bitterness, so it cuts through the fat in the meat. The contours of the hops match the seared aroma, so your palate never gets dull.
MugiGot it! And the house beer is Baby Baby Pale Ale, right? Pale ale sounds easy to drink!
Hop BroThat's right. It's a flagship beer with lightness and aroma, so it pairs well with both yakitori and meat. The concept of yakitori x craft beer really makes sense.
MugiAnd since it's in Clement Plaza B1 at Tokushima Station, it sounds like a place I could drop by after work. I also like that they use local ingredients. I'm especially curious about Awaodori chicken and branded chicken!
Hop BroTo sum it up, this is a place where you can honestly enjoy the flavor of the meat and a drink. Next time, let's go for seared yukhoe and Baby Baby Pale Ale and have a basement-level toast at the station.
MugiI'm in! This combination is so making me want a drink that my stomach is already growling just from imagining it!
A dish finished by searing Awa Beef sirloin
What stands out at T.S.Brewery / Yakitori Sake Brewery Yoi-Tori is the Awa Beef Sirloin Seared Yukhoe. The sirloin from Awa Beef is seared right in front of you, creating a dish that brings out a tender texture and the rich flavor of the fat; the menu describes it as being so soft it can be cut with chopsticks. Awa Beef comes from cattle raised in the fertile soil of the Yoshino River basin, which fits well with the restaurant's focus on local ingredients.
The suggested pairings for this dish were IPA, mugi shochu on the rocks, and rice. From a beer lover's perspective, it's easy to imagine enjoying the seared aroma and the meat's fat with an IPA whose hop character stands out. This place's strength is that the dish works both as the centerpiece of a meal and as an accompaniment to drinks.
Beer available
The craft beer confirmed as the house beer is Baby Baby Pale Ale. It is presented as T.S. BREWERY's signature label, a pale ale with a clear aroma layered over a light, easy-drinking body. The restaurant's introduction also centers on the concept of "yakitori x craft beer," and it suggests that the chicken offal stew also pairs well with red ale or stout.
Atmosphere and how to use it
The restaurant is located on B1 of Clement Plaza, directly connected to Tokushima Station, making it easy to stop by after work. The introduction page showed a lineup built around local and regional ingredients such as Awaodori chicken from Tokushima Prefecture, branded chicken such as Sai-dori, and mature chicken from Kagoshima Prefecture. With warm wooden seating and a counter available, it is a place that works equally well for just one beer or for settling in and enjoying yakitori with drinks.
In the station basement, you can pair the savory taste of meat with house craft beer. Rather than flashiness, this is the kind of place to remember for the way it lets you enjoy the harmony of ingredients, fire, and a single drink.
