Another8 Corner Continues KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY TTO, Also Serving Limited Chinese Dishes
At the beer pub Another8 Corner in Gakugei-Daigaku, a Tap Takeover by KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY and a Chinese food project are underway. In a March 13 post, the venue announced craft beers made with Kakegawa-origin ingredients and special menu items for the day.
Hop BroToday’s topic is the Another8 Corner TTO, and it’s seriously hot. They’re backing KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY and even serving limited-time Chinese dishes.
MugiWhat!? So it’s a beer-and-Chinese food event!? That combo already has the aura of a total win!
Hop BroAnd KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY is known for brewing with Kakegawa vegetables and fruit, so the local character really comes through in the glass.
MugiWhat is that! By the way, what does Tap Takeover mean? That English is too strong, I totally froze for a second!
Hop BroSimply put, it means one brewery takes over the taps. It’s like the brewery practically "hijacks" most of the venue’s faucets.
MugiOhhh! So it’s basically all-you-can-compare mode! Even beers from the same brewery taste totally different, and that’s the fun part!
Hop BroThe food isn’t half-baked either: meat shumai with porcini aroma and fluffy scrambled eggs with tomato. The pairing is built to match the beer lineup.
MugiWait, 'liquid lineup' sounds like a science term!? We’re not bringing beakers to drink with, right!?
Hop BroNo beakers needed. It just means the beers currently on tap. The trick is matching the shumai’s savoriness and mustard acidity, plus the eggs-and-tomato dish’s richness and tartness.
MugiI’m done for, Gakugei-Daigaku tonight then! We have no choice but to go drinking, hop bro and I!
At the beer pub Another8 Corner (Another Eight Corner) in the Gakugei-Daigaku area, event information was updated in an Instagram post titled "Special food for tonight’s event." The event is "KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY Tap Takeover & Chinese Food." It combines beer offerings centered on the brewery in Kakegawa, Shizuoka, with food available only on the day.
In the post, KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY is introduced as a brewery that upholds the idea of "Farm to Local, Local to World" and brews craft beer near Kakegawa Station using local vegetables and fruit. In other words, the key point of the day is not just a guest tap, but the chance to experience flavors derived from region-specific ingredients in Tokyo. While individual beer names are not listed, this is something to note as a TTO where you can compare beers from KAKEGAWA FARM BREWERY.
The food menu clearly lists two Chinese-style dishes:
- Meat shumai with porcini aroma
- Stir-fried eggs and tomatoes, fluffy and silky
The first layers the savory flavor of meat with the aroma of porcini, accented by the tartness of house-made whole-grain mustard. The second is a stir-fry of eggs and tomatoes finished with oyster sauce, presented as a dish that aims for a balance of acidity and richness. Both are designed to be paired with beer, making this an event where the tap lineup and the food can be enjoyed together.
Another8 Corner is a beer pub that serves multiple craft beers on tap. Its location near the station makes it easy to drop by, and on event days it stands out for offering a pairing experience that is more than just "going out for a drink." This post was a perfect example of that shop’s character.
