A food vendor focused on seasonal and fermented ingredients
Kohara Shokudo, operated by singer-songwriter Miki Kohara, will serve food at Tamba Sasayama Zigzag Brewery’s Jinja de Beer Garden. The brewery says visitors will be able to enjoy its dishes alongside a live performance.
Based in Nara, Kohara Shokudo prepares bento meals, prepared dishes, and catering menus using seasonal vegetables, ingredients from nature, fermented foods, and traditional seasonings. Its cooking emphasizes a gentle, additive-conscious approach described as “yōjō no shoku,” or food intended to support everyday wellbeing.
According to the vendor’s message shared by the brewery, its approach was shaped by an experience with dietary therapy and a continuing interest in food that helps people live in good health. The menu should offer an appealing pairing for craft beer, particularly for visitors interested in the interplay between malt, hops, fermentation, and carefully prepared food.
New organic-rice Kölsch also featured
