MugiWait, and it even comes with a kakiage bowl!? That's too much, isn't the rice almost the main event too?
Hop BroExactly, it's the second installment of Monday Miki. They recreated a kakiage bowl using shrimp, squid, onion, and mitsuba, inspired by the kakiage Miki-san ate 60 years ago.
MugiRecreating a flavor from 60 years ago is basically a recipe from memory! And they even made a special tempura sauce? That feels seriously committed.
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. As a blanc-style beer, it should go well with the sweetness and savory aroma of the food, and it seems especially good with fried dishes.
MugiBlanc-style? What's that? Sounds kind of technical, but does it just mean a whitish beer?
Hop BroRoughly, yes. If you think of it as having a gentle drinkability that doesn't get in the way of the meal, that's close enough. In more technical terms, it's a beer that plays the role of supporting the food.
MugiI see, so whether you eat the kakiage bowl first or drink first, it sounds fun! Being able to do that near Shimbashi Station is such a reward after work!
Hop BroExactly. Shimbashi DRY-DOCK is a station-close beer pub, so the appeal is that you can drop in casually and enjoy food and guest beers together.
MugiAnd if the guest taps keep changing, that gives you even more reasons to come back. Today is settled with a kakiage bowl and a beer - my throat is already craving beer!
