Recommended light foods in Tokyo that go well with premium beers!

Fresh Fish from all over Japan
In 2018, the Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market was relocated from Tsukiji to Toyosu. The appeal of Tokyo’s central fish market is, more than anything, the fact that fresh seafood carefully selected from all over Japan is delivered here every day. Dishes made using this fresh seafood include sashimi, sushi, grilled fish, boiled fish, and other Japanese items, as well as Western-style food. Visitors can enjoy all these, which go perfectly with beer to wash them down.

Yakitori and Yakiton
Yakitori is one of the standard items in Japanese pubs (izakaya). Bite-sized chunks of fresh chicken meat are threaded onto skewers and grilled. At places that specialize in yakitori, you can select which cut of meat you want, and whether you want it basted with sauce or salted, the two most common options. Yakiton is pork (ton) done yakitori-style, so, like yakitori, you can choose which cuts you want and whether you want sauce or salt. Both are noted for their wonderful aromas that go wonderfully with beer.

Wagyu
Wagyu is famous the world over for its tenderness and sweetness. The “three great wagyu” of Japan are Kobe Beef, Matsuzaka Beef, and Omi Beef, and you can taste these and other types of wagyu from all over the country in Tokyo. In Japan, beef is assessed based on volume and quality, with the top rank being A5. Why not try a few different wagyu types you can’t get overseas, paired with some premium beer?
