Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward put out an Instagram post this time to introduce its draft craft beer and sake lineup. The fact that you can just drop in for a standing drink is another nice touch.
MugiWait! They have both beer and sake? That's paradise for greedy drinkers!
Hop BroExactly, and the draft beer lineup is a five-tap tasting set. `kurgantaite English Pale Ale`, `Rose Ale`, `Hop Schema059 Anchoby`, `Seiran COLD IPA`, and `Session Black IPA` all line up with a clear sense of direction, which is the cool part.
MugiWhat does that even mean? `COLD IPA` means a cold IPA? That sounds like some summer ice-cold beer!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. `COLD IPA` is not really about the temperature being icy; it's a style that balances a clean drinking finish with hop character. It's appealing because it's refreshing like `Seiran`, but still has a strong aroma.
MugiOhhh! And with light snacks like simmered okra and carrot râpée, it sounds like the perfect match.
Hop BroAnd they even have freshly pressed `Sensuke`, too. It's not just beer, since they also have 10 kinds of sake, and the strength of Kakuuchi Asakura is that you can change your mood while drinking inside the shop.
MugiWhoa, and it's easy to get to from the Nijo Castle area, too! That's huge. It sounds perfect for stopping by after work and starting with just a quick drink.
Hop BroAnd their off-site events are active too. They had a booth at Nishijin Fes on May 23 and 24, and they also announced "Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026" for June 28. It's great that you can encounter the lineup even outside the shop.
MugiI totally want to go! This is exactly what a place that makes you want to drink feels like. Let's go enjoy everything together: the beer, the sake, and the snacks!
