Nutori Brewing Introduces Three Food Items for the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival

Hop BroNice, Nutori Brewing in Saitama's Kawaguchi has put out its food lineup for the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival on Instagram. This time, they're serious about more than just beer.
MugiWhoa, there are three food items! So a beer festival isn't just a place to drink anymore - it gives you even more reasons to eat!
Hop BroFirst up is Beer Bis. They're biscuits made with brewer's spent grain, and a local bakery makes them.
MugiBrewer's spent grain? What is that! Wait, even the "leftover" from beer can taste good?
Hop BroExactly. It's basically upcycling a byproduct. It's the part left after the sugars are extracted from the malt, and it has fiber and a lightly toasted aroma.
MugiOhhh! So it's a slightly sweet snack, then. It's supposed to go with beer, but it can also work with tea - that's kind of unfair!
Hop BroNext is the taproom specialty, the house-made jumbo shumai skewer. Taking those big shumai and putting them on a skewer so they're easy to eat at the festival is strong stuff.
MugiThe moment you put it on a skewer, it suddenly gets that festival food feel! Beer in one hand, shumai in the other - that's basically victory!
Hop BroThere's also the beef tendon skewer. The miso-and-citrus combo makes it rich but light on the finish, so it's the kind of thing that goes with all kinds of beer.
MugiMiso and citrus already sounds like a drink-triggering flavor! And if it's a popular item that's sold out before, then it's basically a race to get there first!
Hop BroNutori Brewing is in the west exit area of Kawaguchi Station, and it's a place that's served not just beer but also shumai and obanzai. This time too, it clearly wants people to enjoy the whole food pairing experience.
MugiWow, it's less about drinking beer and more about enjoying it with nourishing food. This makes me want to think about what to eat at the festival first!
Hop BroExactly. In the end, I just want to try everything with a beer in hand. If this were lined up at Keyaki Hiroba, I might even abandon my duties as a shop manager and join the queue myself.
Saitama Prefecture's Kawaguchi-based Nutori Brewing announced its event food menu on Instagram. In the post, following its beer menu feature, it said, "Today we're introducing the food," sharing the lineup prepared for its booth at the Keyaki Hiroba Beer Festival.
The first item introduced was Beer Bis. These are biscuits made using brewer's spent grain, a byproduct of the beer-making process, and production is handled by a nearby bakery. The biscuits are described as having a mild sweetness, making them suitable not only as a snack alongside beer but also as something to enjoy with tea. The idea of making use of a craft beer byproduct as an ingredient is very much in keeping with Nutori Brewing's style.
Another highlight is the taproom favorite, the house-made jumbo shumai skewer. It takes the shop's popular "Okami's homemade jumbo shumai" and turns it into an easy-to-eat one-handed skewer, offering a satisfying bite at the festival as well. At a festival where people move around with beer in hand, food that is easy to carry like this has a major presence.
Also appearing is the beef tendon skewer, which was first unveiled at a previous event. It is prepared with a combination of miso and citrus, and is said to be a popular menu item that has already sold out before. Its rich seasoning and refreshing aroma seem well suited to pair with a wide range of beer styles.
Nutori Brewing is a brewery based in the west exit area of Kawaguchi Station, and in its attached space it has served not only house-made beer but also shumai, seasonal side dishes, and game meat. In this post as well, its approach goes beyond simply pouring beer and clearly emphasizes enjoying it together with food. It is the kind of lineup that makes you want to decide not only what to drink at the festival, but also what to eat.
