Persona brewery, a brewpub located in Asahi, Kofu, Yamanashi, will host “Biriparu” on Wednesday, October 21. The event pairs beer with biryani produced by Yukie Nakagomi of and spice.

The featured dish is fish and sweet-potato biryani. Depending on demand, chicken biryani may also be available. To accompany the spice-forward food, Persona brewery is highlighting its new release, Botanical Saison, made with cardamom supplied by Geek Still. The beer’s botanical, aromatic character is intended to complement the layered spices of the biryani.

The event will take place in Persona brewery’s taproom at 2-18-4 Asahi, Kofu. Guests are welcome to visit for beer alone as well. Because the venue is small, customers may be asked to share tables or give up their seats when the taproom is busy.

This event will be held as “Biriparu,” rather than the usual “Mochiperu.” Outside food will not be permitted, and the menu may change on the day. For beer fans in Kofu, the combination of biryani and a cardamom-accented Botanical Saison offers a focused way to experience Persona brewery’s taproom hospitality.
