Stand Umineko Introduces Its 7th-Anniversary Sour Ale, "Umineko no Ongaeshi"
The beer pub "Stand Umineko" in Osaka's Shinsaibashi introduced on Instagram a pairing of its 7th-anniversary tropical sour ale "Umineko no Ongaeshi" and the shop's spice curry, "Spinach Keema Curry." It is a suggestion to pair a fruity beer with a spice-forward dish.
Hop BroAt the Shinsaibashi beer pub, Stand Umineko came out with something interesting for its 7th anniversary. The tropical sour ale "Umineko no Ongaeshi" paired with spinach keema curry really hits the spot.
MugiWhoa! Umineko no Ongaeshi sounds cute just from the name! Sour ale is the tart kind, right? Does it go with curry?
Hop BroIt does. The fruity acidity catches the spices and smoothly carries the chunky keema. It doesn't lean too sweet; it's the kind that makes you hungry again.
MugiWhat do you mean by 'catches the spices'? Like the beer is catching a ball or something?
Hop BroThat's a good image. Since it's a tropical sour ale, the aroma is tropical and the mouthfeel is light. The acidity gives it definition, so it can dance with the curry's spices without clashing.
MugiOh wow! Being able to order just the roux is amazing too. Even if you're full, you can still do a little nibble order. That's the justice of a drinking outing!
Hop BroExactly. Since it's a standing bar on Shinsaibashi-suji, you can drop by casually, but what's inside is very serious. What feels true to the shop is that it doesn't just present the beer by itself; it also suggests food pairings.
MugiI see, a food-inclusive recommendation is pretty insider-like. It sounds like it opens up ways to enjoy beer you wouldn't notice otherwise!
Hop BroAnd the fact that it's for the 7th anniversary makes it even hotter. A special 7th-anniversary brew has that commemorative feel, and the fact that you can only taste it now is irresistible.
MugiJust imagining it makes me hungry! The beer and curry combination is the kind that makes you want to try it tonight.
Hop BroRight? Let's toast in Shinsaibashi, take a sip of sour ale, then a bite of curry.
MugiLet's go! I want to drink it now and eat it now. I'm totally in Stand Umineko mode today!
