Neko no Shūkai-jo in Umegaoka announces new menu item “Char Siu Egg Fried Rice,” and updates six taps
Craft beer and spice food spot “Neko no Shūkai-jo” in Umegaoka introduced a new menu item, “Char Siu Egg Fried Rice.” The dish is topped with Hong Kong-style char siu and a softly runny fried egg, and the day’s tap list features six draft beers.
Hop BroThe Umegaoka spot Neko no Shūkai-jo has rolled out a new menu item, Char Siu Egg Fried Rice. And on the same day, they also did a six-tap update, so both your stomach and your glass are going to stay busy.
MugiWhat! The fried rice alone is already strong, and then there are six drafts too? This isn’t a meeting anymore, it’s a party!
Hop BroThe base is their familiar basmati fried rice, and they top it with Hong Kong-style char siu and a pan-fried fried egg. Because it’s a rice with a fragrant character, the key point is that it doesn’t get in the way of the beer.
MugiWhat even is basmati? Even though it’s rice, it suddenly feels like a foreign breeze has blown in!
Hop BroIn short, it’s a long-grain rice with a light aroma. So even with the char siu’s savoriness and the egg’s richness on top, it doesn’t feel too heavy, and it can work both as a finishing dish and a snack.
MugiI see, so it probably goes well with beer too! And the post literally says it has a great match with craft beer, which is reassuring!
Hop BroThe lineup is interesting too. For example, there’s Pferd (Pilsner), Luna (Dark Lager), Capybara Love, SNOW MONKEY IPA Silver, and Kind of Gold, so today’s selection is pretty broad.
MugiWow, even the names are fun! But when I see Hazy IPA w/CITRUS, it suddenly feels like a science experiment, which is a little scary!
Hop BroIt’s not scary, not scary. Basically, it means an IPA with haze and citrus notes. You can have fun with it by washing down the fried rice with a lager and then opening up the aroma with a hazy beer.
MugiAnd the drafts come in three sizes, and you can even take them home in a cup, right? At this point, it’s harder to find a reason to go home!
Hop BroAround Umegaoka Station, it’s great that you can take your time with both food and alcohol, and that it’s welcome for any round of drinks. With the easygoing cat motif, spice food, and lots of taps, this is definitely a place that makes you want to go drink there.
MugiYeah, I can almost see the steam from the fried rice and the foam on the glass! Today, I want to be properly happy with fried rice and one drink!
