6 carefully selected establishments in Oita where it is possible to drink premium beers

Toriten, Nakatsu Karaage

Toriten, chicken tempura, is a local food from Oita Prefecture. It might appear to be a bit stodgy at first glance, but the chicken inside is thigh or breast meat, or chicken tenders, so it’s actually surprisingly light. Nakatsu karaage originally came from the city of Nakatsu in Oita, and is noted for its meat, rich in flavor, and its thin batter. Both toriten and Nakatsu karaage are not too heavy, and go down surprisingly quickly, so make sure that when you pair them with a great beer match that you don’t get too drunk!

Seki-aji, Seki-saba

Seki-aji and Seki-saba refer, respectively, to horse mackerel and mackerel caught in the Hoyo Strait and landed at Saganoseki. Seki-aji and Seki-saba are both considered the very finest quality horse mackerel and mackerel, and their taste is worthy of being given these brand names. While they can be eaten as sashimi, sushi, or atop rice, they both offer firm, dense, nicely-fatty flesh. Try these top-class fish with a glass of beer.

Kabosu

In Japan, native citrus fruits like yuzu and sudachi are used in a range of different dishes. The refreshing taste of sudachi adds a lovely accent to rich foods, hides fishy smells, and contracts the flavor. Kabosu is a citrus from Oita. Try it with fried foods, sashimi, grilled fish, stews, drinks, or anything you fancy, and enjoy how the flavors change. Not only are kabosu-enhanced foods a great match with beer, you can add kabosu juice directly to your beer and enjoy your own original cocktail!
