Miso Padron Peppers + Kurayoshi Whisky
Peppers and whisky. Sip on whiskey, and pop a pepper. Repeat. This recipe adds some Asian flare to the usual “blistered padron peppers with olive oil and sea salt.”
Thai Crispy Pork Rinds + Orion Beer
Thai fried pork rinds are perfectly crunchy over a bowl of hot chili studded with beans and spicy peppers. Rather than a traditional Thai chili pepper dip, they are paired here with a can of cool Japanese beer.
Japanese Dried Squid + Junmai Sake
You don’t need to go all the way to the bar. Just open a pack of dried squid and drink that sake at home.
