Bakushu Yumeyomi, a beer pub in Gion, Kyoto, started pouring Shirosuzume’s amber ale Tottei on September 6. The post notes that this batch may taste a little different from previous pours, which should make it especially interesting for anyone who already knows the beer.

Tottei is an amber ale with a calm, malt-driven profile. It leans toward caramel and toast, with enough depth to keep it satisfying without feeling heavy. It is the kind of beer that works well with food and rewards slow drinking, showing more detail as it warms in the glass. The pub introduced it as a pairing of a favorite brewery and a favorite beer style, which fits the way the bar approaches its tap list.

The same post also says YOROCCO’s French-hop pilsner Lager du Soleil has returned to draft. That gives the bar two clean, well-defined beers on tap: one amber and malt-forward, the other crisp and hop-accented. The taps have been serviced as well, so the lineup is set up to show each beer clearly.

Bakushu Yumeyomi is the kind of place where you can settle in for a focused pint rather than a noisy session. It welcomes solo drinkers and keeps large groups at bay, making it a good stop for people who want to concentrate on the beer itself.
