New menu items have appeared at Kamimachi CHEERS, operated by Handa Ginzan Brewery in Koori Town, Fukushima Prefecture. The two dishes are the "Beer Chicken Sandwich," made with the shop's signature beer chicken, and the "Thick-Cut Bacon Sandwich," expanding the dining options at this brewery-adjacent venue.
Hop BroHanda Ginzan Brewery in Koori Town, Fukushima Prefecture, has rolled out new menu items at Kamimachi CHEERS. A sandwich made with its signature beer chicken and a thick-cut bacon sandwich with serious presence - they really understand what drinkers want to eat with their beer.
MugiHuh! Beer chicken isn't some story about raising chickens on beer, right? This suddenly feels way more epic!
Hop BroThat's not it. It's chicken prepared to pair well with beer. When you make it into a sandwich that locks in the savory flavor, it's easy to eat with bread and goes well with draft beer too.
MugiI see, so it's basically punchy bar-food style, huh? Then the thick-cut bacon is all about going big with heft and bite?
Hop BroExactly. Bacon has strong fat and saltiness, so it's satisfying when you match it with the sweetness of malt and the bitterness of hops. It pairs really well with draft beer, and everything in your mouth just comes together at once.
MugiCalling it 'comes together' already makes it sound delicious! But isn't Kamimachi CHEERS just a regular meal place? What difference does it make that it's a brewery-adjacent spot?
Hop BroIt makes a difference. It's a brewery that opened in Koori Town in 2020 and handcrafts beer using local fruit, so the food becomes part of the shop's identity too. Being able to drink freshly poured draft beer on the spot is the big draw.
MugiWow! And it's only a five-minute walk from Koori Station on the JR Tohoku Main Line, so it's the kind of place you can just drop into. It sounds like the sort of place that could pull me in on the way home!
Hop BroExactly. With a place like this, the right way to enjoy it is not just the beer alone, but the whole meal. When a sandwich is added to a pint made with local ingredients, the experience expands a lot.
MugiThen I'll start with the Beer Chicken Sandwich to test the waters, and follow it up with the bacon! Having another reason to drink is pretty much the best thing ever, isn't it?
Hop BroNice. With Handa Ginzan Brewery's beer and the new menu items, today is already a win from the first pint. All right, speaking as the owner, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to go out for a drink.
