New Ethnic-Style Sake-Steamed Clams Debut at Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Store
On April 9, Yokohama Bay Brewing's Yokohama Front store announced a new daily special, "Ethnic-Style Sake-Steamed Clams." TODAY'S BEER ON TAP featured the brewery's own lagers and IPAs alongside guest beers, offering a wide range of food pairings.
Hop BroAt Yokohama Bay Brewing's Yokohama Front store, Ethnic-Style Sake-Steamed Clams have just debuted. Garlic, chili peppers, nam pla, cilantro, and lime give it a springlike feel, but it still has that satisfying beer-snack character.
MugiWait, clams with nam pla!? My brain doesn't know whether this is the taste of the sea or the taste of Asia anymore!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. It brings out the saltiness and aroma, and if you're pairing it, a refreshing lager is the classic choice. Something crisp like Yokohama Bay Brewing's Bay Pilsner makes the clam umami glide right through.
MugiOh, so lager isn't just an "easy-to-drink beer" after all. It's there to shape the flavors of the food!
Hop BroExactly. And today's TODAY'S BEER ON TAP lineup is luxurious, with staples and distinctive brews lined up side by side. There are malt-forward options like Bay Amber and Bay Dark, plus ones with names like Weekend Journey and Freedom that make you feel like you're already on the road.
MugiWhat is that? I'd get tipsy just looking at the menu! But if they have IPA too, the fruity aroma should get along fine with the lime in the clams.
Hop BroExactly. Beers like Pedaling for IPA and Mellow Walk IPA, with their pronounced hop aroma, can take in the cilantro and chili's ethnic-style character while adding another layer of fragrance.
MugiHearing "hop" suddenly makes it sound difficult, but basically you mean a fragrant accent, right? Then I'll just go heavier on the cilantro and watch the aroma battle unfold!
Hop BroExactly that. And since it's a continuous-service spot on the second floor of Yokohama Front, daytime drinking is okay, so it's strong for anything from lunch to a quick drink. It's a five-minute walk from JR Yokohama Station, and that convenience is almost unfair.
MugiWhoa, a directly operated shop near the station? That's too good! If we keep alternating between the spring sake-steamed clams and beer, we're probably not going home anytime soon!
