MugiWait, an oyster fair with an oyster beer!? Kesennuma Oyster Stout already sounds rich just from the name!
Hop BroWhat makes it interesting is that it's not just a regular dark beer. It's a stout layered with umami using not only oyster shells but the oyster meat itself. You can tell it was built with food pairing in mind.
MugiThey use the meat too!? Oysters aren't a drink, so how does that even go into beer!? I can't picture the flavor design at all!
Hop BroBasically, it brings out the mineral and briny character of the sea, then wraps it in the toastiness of roasted malt. And tonight there is also dashi-poured oyster biryani, so the appetite traffic jam is real.
MugiWait, oyster in biryani!? And they even have Kerala Oyster and ume-vinegar pork vindaloo lined up? That's fully coming at my stomach with everything it has!
Hop BroDinner also has oyster and kombu steamed dish, Kesennuma oyster kaki fry, oyster mapo tofu, and apple ham cutlet, so the lineup works for oyster lovers and everyone else too.
MugiHaving mapo tofu next to kaki fry is way too much information! And then apple ham cutlet too? I have no idea what to order anymore!
Hop BroThat's where the all-day service comes in. Since it's 11:30 to 22:00 straight through, you can check things out at lunch and then come back for serious drinking at night.
MugiIf they even do beer takeout, I can keep drinking at home too!
Hop BroExactly. Growlers and PET bottles are both okay, and even the terrace seats allow dogs and cats. It has that easygoing Koenji feel.
MugiAlright, today is a day to build the meal and beer together. Oysters and a dark glass in hand, now I want to go drink right away!
