Hop BroKotohira has something pretty good coming up: DONZO Brewing is hosting a one-night Italian food event on Friday, July 10 at 6:30 PM.
MugiWhat! An Italian special course at a brewery? That escalated into fancy mode really fast!
Hop BroAnd the guest chef is serious talent: a chef from Puglia, Salvatore. He’s the grand chef at Osaka’s Binario and has worked at luxury hotels in Milan and New York.
MugiOh wow! But the article says beer pairing included. What does pairing even mean? Do the food and beer just stare lovingly at each other?
Hop BroNot quite, but close in spirit. Matching flavors together is the idea, like layering smoky food with toasty beer notes or using carbonation to cut through spicy arrabbiata.
MugiThat sounds amazing! And the menu has homemade sausage arrabbiata on it? That dish is clearly trying to win the whole night by itself!
Hop BroThe earlier dishes are strong too. Bagel bruschetta starts it off, then rice croquettes, smoked chicken, ratatouille, chicken galantine, and olives. It’s built for serious snacking and sipping.
MugiHold on, so beer names and styles unannounced? Is this one of those moments where your brain is secretly filling in the tap list?
Hop BroThat part is still a surprise. But DONZO is a taproom brewery since 2023, so choosing the right pour on site is part of the fun. The food course is 3,300 yen tax included, drinks are separate, and reservations are by Instagram DM or phone.
MugiThen we need to move before it fills up! A one-night-only event in Kotohira with real Italian dishes and craft beer sounds like the kind of plan that makes me thirsty on sight.
