Hop BroKasugai Beer Hall in Kunitachi has a mouthwatering pairing: beef misuji terrine with beers from KUNITACHI BREWERY!
MugiWhat—beer in terrine? Craft-beer jelly already sounds like something I need to eat immediately!
Hop BroThe star is beef misuji, a rare cut from the shoulder. It comes with silky potato purée and a pink-pepper kick.
MugiMisujii is a rare cut? It comes from the shoulder, but it sounds so fancy—like it has VIP beef status!
Hop BroExactly. Only a small amount comes from that area, and it has savory lean meat with just enough fat—ideal for deep beef richness in a terrine.
MugiThen comes the jelly! It uses KUNITACHI BREWERY’s beer called “903”, right? What does beer do in a dish?
Hop BroJelly captures flavor and aroma in a soft, wobbly form. The 903 adds extra aromatic depth, making the terrine’s beefiness feel more layered.
MugiWobbly beer aroma… my vocabulary just melted, too! And the drink alongside it is “tight!” as the pairing?
Hop BroYou got it. tight! is a West Coast IPL—an IPA-like beer fermented with lager yeast—with crisp, clean bitterness and citrusy aroma.
MugiAn IPA that drinks like a lager? That’s beer-world dual wielding! My brain is starting to foam!
Hop BroThink IPA-style hop character with a lively lager finish. It helps cleanse the beef fat, so every bite feels ready for the next.
MugiRich terrine, 903 jelly, and tight!’s brightness—how could I stop at one bite? A Kunitachi dinner trip is suddenly essential!
Kasugai, a craft beer restaurant and beer pub in Kunitachi, Tokyo, has introduced a chef’s special dish: “Beef Misuji Terrine with Craft Beer Jelly.”
Misuji is a prized cut from the shoulder, known for its concentrated beef flavor. The terrine is served with a smooth potato purée and pink pepper, adding a creamy texture and a bright, gently spicy accent to the dish.
The craft beer jelly uses “903” from KUNITACHI BREWERY. Its beer-based flavor adds aromatic depth to the rich beef terrine without overwhelming the meat.
For the pairing, Kasugai recommends “tight!”, also from KUNITACHI BREWERY. Described as a West Coast IPL, it brings a crisp bitterness and citrus-forward hop aroma. The bitterness helps refresh the palate after each bite, while the citrus notes complement the beef and bring balance to the dish’s richness.
Kasugai operates alongside the KUNITACHI BREWERY brewery, offering a setting where locally brewed beer can be enjoyed with food designed for pairing. The restaurant is located at 3-17-27 Higashi, Kunitachi, Tokyo. Availability of the dish and beers may vary, so guests should check with the restaurant before visiting.
