At Kakuchi Asakura, two Kyoto Brewing beers are highlighted, featuring a rich early-spring beer and a hazy release
The beer pub "Kakuchi Asakura" in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, highlighted two Kyoto Brewing labels in its tap information posted on March 13. Centered on a barley wine and a hazy double IPA, the lineup also includes draft beers from Nara, Saitama, Nagano, Shizuoka, and Osaka, making it a tasting-friendly selection.
Hop BroThis week's topic is Kakuchi Asakura's latest taps. In the March 13 post, they strongly featured two Kyoto Brewing beers.
MugiWhoa! Two Kyoto Brewing beers at once sounds like a luxury pick!
Hop BroThe stars are Kyoto Brewing's Rashikunai and Yotei Chowa. The first is a barley wine at ABV 9.0%, and the second is a hazy double IPA at ABV 8.0%.
MugiWhat! Barley wine is wine? Or beer? My brain can't keep up!
Hop BroThe name is confusing, but it's beer. It's a high-ABV style that lets you enjoy the rich, mature character of malt, and Rashikunai has caramel- and raisin-like depth in the finish.
MugiOhhh! So Yotei Chowa is like a full-on hop hazy? One that hits you with aroma?
Hop BroExactly. And on top of that, there were five more beers from around Japan that day, so you could compare brews from Nara, Saitama, Nagano, Shizuoka, and Osaka too.
MugiThat lineup is too strong! And Kakuchi is that style where you can stand and drink at a liquor store, right?
Hop BroRight. At 141-3 Higashitembincho in Kamigyo Ward, it's a convenient place where you can have a quick drink or take your time comparing beers.
MugiIt's decided! I'll go with Yotei Chowa, and hop brother can have Rashikunai. Let's cheers tonight!
Hop BroSounds good. Let's line up both glasses and compare them side by side while following the temperature changes and aromas!
From Kakuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward, two Kyoto Brewing beers were introduced as the weekly "Pick up Brewery." This time, the stars are a lineup aimed at delivering a substantial drinking experience.
First to note is Kyoto Brewing's "Rashikunai." Its style is barley wine, ABV 9.0%. The post describes it as having depth reminiscent of caramel and raisins, with a full-bodied finish, making it a beer to sip slowly while following the changes in temperature.
The other is another Kyoto Brewing beer, "Yotei Chowa." A hazy double IPA at ABV 8.0%, it is described as a "go-for-broke" beer that puts hop presence front and center. For IPA fans, being able to choose both a rich beer and an aromatic hazy one at the same time is something not to miss.
The tap list for the day also included the following five craft beers:
- NARA BREWING Co. "ENNUI"
- ZAKKOKUKOUBOU "Rustic Saison-BFM Yeast Ver."
- Shiga Kogen Beer "SHIGA KOGEN HELLES⁉︎"
- Hansharo Beer "Thanks! Westcoast IPA"
- CRAFT BEER BASE "Hop Schema Nectaron"
With breweries and styles spanning a wide range, the lineup was ideal for comparing different beers side by side. Kakuchi Asakura is a shop that combines a liquor store function with standing drinking. Located at 141-3 Higashitembincho, Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, it is appealing for everything from quickly enjoying a single drink to slowly comparing different styles.
