Part of MT 181 Waverly LLC

Moody Tongue Brewing Company is pleased to introduce Moody Tongue Sushi, a new Japanese restaurant in the West Village neighborhood of New York City showcasing elevated beer and sushi pairings from the renowned culinary brewery.

The restaurant presents a focused sushi menu from Executive Sushi Chef Hiromi Iwakiri with curated beer pairings from Brewmaster Jared Rouben highlighting a selection 16 beers, including the New York exclusive Shaved Black Truffle Rice Lager, specialty beers such as the Pressed Asian Pear Saison (which is served in a flute and highlights notes reminiscent of vintage Champagne), and perennial favorites like the Juiced Lychee IPA, Orange Blossom Belgian Blonde and Yuzu Summer Ale. The beverage program also includes a curated list of wines, sakes, spirits and specialty cocktails.

Like many sushi chefs, brewers are minimalists. Both combine select ingredients to create balance and allow those ingredients to shine. Beer and sushi have delicate profiles, and the subtlety of flavors and aromatics within various beer styles allow for a wide range of pairing possibilities.
