Adult Mint Chocolate beer debuts in Japan, offering unique food pairing options.
Sapporo's mint chocolate beer pairs well with sweet snacks like Pocky, but avoid savory foods like kimchi.
So you ever thought about pairing mint chocolate beer with Pocky or kimchi? Sapporo’s got this new drink called Adult Chocolate Mint, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer! This beer jumps right into your world with a sweet minty explosion that'll either thrill or totally lose you. Our own Asami took one sip and you could see her soul flash before her eyes, but she lives for this stuff. So, were the snacks going to make or break this brew session?
First all, she tried the usual beer companions: sausages, ham, and cheese. Big mistake. It was like a flavor fight in her mouth, not cute at all. Then she switched gears to sweet treats. Pocky? Pure magic! It made the beer shine. Next up, she grabbed an eclair, and while it wasn’t as stellar as the Pocky, it still mellowed out some of the weird flavors lurking in the beer. But who could forget the epic fail? The moment she paired it with kimchi hotpot, it was a disaster zone. A hot mess that made Asami feel like she cursed her own taste buds.
So, if you’re diving into this mint chocolate beer, keep it sweet. No savory distractions. Check out the Adult Chocolate Mint through Sapporo’s Hoppin’ Garage online store or grab it at Lumine Shinjuku from February 1 to 14. Don't say I didn't warn you!
