: Tachikawa Beer Hall

As the name suggests, this place primarily focuses on beer, but the quality of the food is also high, giving the impression of a "beer hall where you can truly enjoy a meal."
First, I tried the "Assorted Prosciutto and Salami."
From the moment it was served, its beautiful presentation added a touch of elegance to the table.
The prosciutto had a moist texture with a mild saltiness, allowing the sweetness of the fat to shine through.
The salami had a nice smoky flavor, and the more you chewed, the more umami it released. It paired perfectly with the beer, making it an excellent starter.
Next was the "Caesar Salad."
The crisp romaine lettuce was perfectly dressed with a rich yet not overpowering dressing, creating a well-balanced dish.
The texture of the croutons and the aroma of the grated cheese added a delightful accent, and the portion was generous.
It served as a refreshing palate cleanser before the heavier meat dishes.
The "Salmon Fish and Chips" featured a light, crispy batter, while the salmon inside was fluffy and juicy.
Unlike the typical white fish fish and chips, the richness of the salmon offered a refreshing twist!
The accompanying tartar sauce had just the right amount of acidity, making it enjoyable until the very last bite.
What particularly stood out to me was the "Rare Beef Fillet Cutlet with Gravy Sauce."
The exterior was crispy, while the inside was perfectly rare, releasing the savory flavor of the meat with each bite.
Being a lean cut, it didn’t feel heavy, and the addition of the rich gravy sauce elevated the depth of flavor.
This dish was of such quality that it paired well not only with beer but also with wine.
The "Bismarck with Italian Prosciutto" had a perfect baking level, with a crispy, fragrant exterior and a chewy interior.
The salty prosciutto paired beautifully with the creaminess of the soft-boiled egg, and mixing in the yolk revealed a different flavor profile!
For dessert, I ordered the "Homemade Pudding" and "Homemade Matcha Pudding."
The regular pudding had a firm texture, with a good balance between the richness of the eggs and the slightly bitter caramel, reminiscent of traditional pudding.
On the other hand, the matcha pudding had a strong matcha flavor without being overly bitter, achieving a refined balance with the sweetness.
It was a satisfying dessert, perfect for wrapping up the meal after drinking.
Tachikawa Beer Hall goes beyond just "food that pairs with beer," as each dish is crafted with care.
While the atmosphere is casual, the quality of the food is authentic, making it a great spot for meals with friends, dates, or a drink after work!
