Sakazuki Lab Teases a New Beer Named “Honmaguro Available at the Sushi Shop…”
Tokyo’s Sakazuki Lab has introduced a new beer—or beer project—with the playful name “Honmaguro Available at the Sushi Shop…”. While details such as the style and release date have not yet been announced, the name points toward a food-focused pairing concept inspired by sushi and tuna.
Sakazuki Lab, a brewery and beer-focused restaurant in Adachi, Tokyo, has announced a new product under the distinctive name “お寿司屋さんの本鮪有り〼…”—roughly, “Honmaguro available at the sushi shop…”.
The wording resembles the traditional signs used by sushi restaurants, while honmaguro, or bluefin tuna, places seafood at the center of the concept. The post does not yet specify the beer style, ingredients, alcohol content, serving format, or release date, so the final character of the beer remains to be revealed.
Sakazuki Lab is known in the Kitasenju area for house-made beer, sake, and small plates. Its menu and setting naturally lend themselves to pairing drinks with seasonal seafood and Japanese dishes. Against that backdrop, the new name suggests a beer designed to be enjoyed as part of a meal, rather than considered only as a standalone drink.
Beer fans will want to watch Sakazuki Lab’s official updates for further information. Until then, the sushi-shop-inspired name offers an intriguing preview of what could be a distinctly Japanese take on beer and food pairing.
