Hop BroI’ve got my eye on CRAFT BANK’s collab event on June 21 in Fukuchiyama, where IL PAZZINI and Kitchen Picasso are teaming up for what looks like a seriously tasty night.
MugiWhat, one night only in Fukuchiyama!? My stomach is already there before the rest of me!
Hop BroThe event is called AL FORNO. It’s being promoted as a casual night where you can enjoy the food with craft beer or wine in hand.
MugiOoh! What kind of food are we talking about? The name sounds so stylish I feel underdressed just hearing it!
Hop BroThere’ll be a central appetizer buffet with early-summer vegetables and seafood, and then pizza and charcoal-grilled dishes as add-ons. Honestly, that’s pairing heaven right there.
MugiWait, what is pairing? And do we already know the beer names or styles for this event?
Hop BroPairing means matching food and drinks, and style is basically a beer category. The article doesn’t list specific beer names, but CRAFT BANK usually has seven craft beers, so it’s already fun to imagine the lineup.
MugiImportant question: how much and what time? I’d rather not accidentally show up in pajamas.
Hop BroIt runs 3:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. with last entry at 9:00 p.m. Adults pay 3,000 yen for one drink plus the appetizer buffet, kids are 1,500 yen, and it’s in a former bank building just five minutes from JR Fukuchiyama Station. Add their usual 40-dish food lineup and I’m already thirsty.
MugiSeven beers in that setting? I want a drink now! You and me, Hop Bro, June 21 is officially reserved for our throats.
