Beef Tendon Western-Style Spring Rolls Debut at Yokohama Bay Brewing Yokohama Front Store, with 22 Draft Beers on Offer
On April 23, Yokohama Bay Brewing's Yokohama Front store announced a new menu item, "Beef Tendon Western-Style Spring Rolls." The dish uses beef tendon simmered in dark beer and demi-glace sauce, and the day's taps include domestic and imported draft beers such as Bay Pilsner and Bay Dark.
Hop BroAt Yokohama Bay Brewing's Yokohama Front store, Beef Tendon Western-Style Spring Rolls have appeared. The beef tendon is braised in dark beer and demi-glace, then made into a spring roll and served with mashed potatoes, so it's way more satisfying than it looks.
MugiWhat, a spring roll with tons of beef tendon in it!? Fried food alone is already delicious, and now you're adding all that braised umami too? That's almost unfair.
Hop BroWhat's more, the post pairs it with Bay Dark. The roasty aroma connects with the richness of the demi-glace, so the flavor profile becomes much fuller.
MugiWhoa, but roasty and rich sound a little hard to picture... I have this image that dark beer is heavy, but does it really go with spring rolls?
Hop BroNot so much heavy as it is about how the roasted aroma ties into the dish's sweetness. Dark styles like Bay Dark can really hold up the umami of the beef tendon and the depth of the demi-glace, so they're actually a great match.
MugiI see! Then I'm also curious about the mashed potato garnish! If there's something fluffy in there, I bet even the beer foam tastes better. That's almost cheating!
Hop BroThe taps that day are interesting too, with 22 draft beers on the list. Along with Bay Pilsner, Bay Amber, Bay Weiss, Yuzu Weiss, GOOOOOAAAAAL IPA, and Mellow Walk IPA, they also have Pilsner Urquell and Peroni, so it's like a maze of flavors.
MugiWait, domestic and imported draft beers all at once!? First one light and crisp, second one aromatic, third one and I'd be completely lost... but isn't that the best?
Hop BroAnd the location is in the Yokohama Station North West Exit area, on the second floor of THE YOKOHAMA FRONT, at a directly operated beer pub. Since it's open all day, you can come for daytime drinking too, and it's nice that you can casually drop in for just one drink at the counter.
MugiI already want to go! If I bite into the freshly fried spring rolls and pair them with Bay Dark or Bay Pilsner, it feels like all the tiredness from today would just wash away!
