PEDROLINO in Osaka introduces myoga gin tonic and five craft beers
PEDROLINO, a beer pub in Osaka's Andoji-cho area, introduced a myoga-based 'Coral Gin Tonic.' The tap list includes beers from farmentry, Anglo Japanese Brewing, and Faló Brewing, giving the lineup a clear seasonal range.
Hop BroPEDROLINO in Osaka has a real star this time: Coral Gin Tonic. Turning the pale pink from myoga into a coral image is a pretty sharp idea.
MugiWhat! A myoga gin tonic? No way! That humble little garnish just became the main character at the bar!
Hop BroThat is exactly why it works. When they crush the myoga, it gives off a soft color, then they add fresh lime and tachibana, and tie it together with a cucumber garnish for that green aroma. There is a non-alcoholic version too.
MugiOh wow! But hang on, what is garnish? That word just barged in like a cooking show host!
Hop BroIt is decoration, but also an aroma switch. In simple terms, it is the finishing sidekick. PEDROLINO wants drinkers and non-drinkers to enjoy the same space, and that drink shows the idea clearly.
MugiThat is so thoughtful! And now I want the beer too. FRP French Pilsner already sounds crisp just from the name!
Hop BroThe draft list is strong. farmentry's FRP is a French pilsner, Anglo Japanese Brewing's Foeder Saison Vintage2023 is a foeder-aged saison, and Faló Brewing's Faló IPA sits at 6.5% with a proper hoppy kick.
MugiWait, foeder-aged saison sounds like a spell! If I drink that, do I instantly become a brewer?
Hop BroNot quite. A foeder is a big wooden cask, and saison is a light, dry Belgian-style beer, so it basically means wood-aged saison. They also have a dry-hopped version in stock plus farmentry's Daily Loop, and even though By The Glass is still coming soon, the lineup already begs for a tasting round.
MugiOkay, I get it! I want to cool off with the Coral Gin Tonic first, then move into the IPA and saison after that. I want to go tonight, and the best part is I can even invite friends who are not drinking!
Hop BroThat plan is solid. With food, draft pours, and stocked bottles all calling your name, this is a full tasting lineup that makes me want to head straight to PEDROLINO for a drink.
PEDROLINO, a beer pub in Andoji-cho, Osaka, introduced a myoga-based gin tonic under the name "Coral Gin Tonic." In the post, the team says the pale pink color that appears when myoga is crushed reminded them of coral, and they added the freshness of lime and yamato-tachibana to the drink. Cucumber is used as a garnish for its green aroma, though that may change by day. A non-alcoholic version is also available.
The venue says it focuses on craft beer, wine, and cocktails, while also aiming to be a space where drinkers and non-drinkers can spend time together. That idea is reflected clearly in the lineup shared in the post.
