Hop BroI found an unmissable pairing in Jimbocho: Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho’s fried chicken with SAMURAI sauce!
MugiWhat? Samurai on fried chicken?! That name sounds fierce, but what does it taste like?
Hop BroSAMURAI sauce originated in Belgium and is a beloved classic spicy sauce in Europe. It adds a kick to the chicken’s savory flavor.
MugiSo a samurai traveled from Belgium and landed on fried chicken! It’s cross-cultural chicken magic!
Hop BroThe chicken thigh is marinated for a day, then fried twice—crispy with a double fry outside and juicy within.
MugiDoes double-frying just mean putting it in oil twice? I’d be eating it after round one!
Hop BroThe first fry cooks it through; after a short rest, the second makes the surface fragrant and crisp. That gives it long-lasting crunchy texture.
MugiI get it! And the beer that can handle that crunch and heat is CRAFTROCK Alternative IPA, right?
Hop BroExactly! IPA hop aroma and bitterness cut through the oil and tidy up the heat—bitterness that invites another bite. Choosing from up to 30 rotating beers is fun, too.
MugiIt’s only about two minutes from Jimbocho Station’s A1 exit, so this is no detour—it’s the destination! Let’s toast with chicken and IPA!
Craft Beer Market Jimbo-cho is highlighting its chicken thigh karaage with Samurai Sauce, a dish designed to pair naturally with craft beer.
The chicken is marinated for one day and fried twice, creating a crisp exterior while keeping the thigh meat juicy. It is served with plenty of Samurai Sauce, a spicy sauce originating in Belgium and commonly enjoyed in Europe. The sauce is also recommended with French fries, making it a versatile accompaniment for a beer-focused meal.
For the beer pairing, the pub recommends Alternative IPA from CRAFTROCK BREWING. The IPA’s hop character and bitterness should complement the richness of the fried chicken and balance the sauce’s spicy profile.
The Jimbo-cho location offers up to 30 rotating craft beers each day. Its selection includes eight beers brewed by CRAFTROCK BREWING, along with beers from major domestic producers. The pub also announces 250ml half-size pours at ¥480, including ten selected beers, making it easier to sample different options with a meal.
Located about two minutes on foot from Jimbo-cho Station’s A1 exit, the beer pub serves craft beer alongside roast chicken and other food. With a changing tap lineup and substantial fried dishes, it suits both an after-work drink and a casual dinner.
