Kyoto’s Kakuchi Asakura Highlights Yellow Beer Works in Weekly 5-Tap Lineup
Kakuchi Asakura, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, featured Yellow Beer Works from Fukushima in its July 29 Instagram post. The weekly “Pick up Brewery” spotlight included three beers from the brewery, alongside a five-beer craft lineup and a broad sake selection.
Hop BroKyoto’s Kakuchi Asakura just featured Yellow Beer Works as this week’s Pick up Brewery, and the five-tap lineup looks seriously good.
MugiWait! Yellow Beer Works already sounds fun from the name alone. What are they pouring?
Hop BroThe spotlight is on three featured beers from Fukushima’s Yellow Beer Works: Vitapo is a Sour Ale at 5.0%, MILK& is a Milk smoothiy Sour Ale at 4.0%, and Menkyo Henno!? is a Hazy IPA at 5.0%.
MugiWhat is that! Milk smoothiy Sour Ale is way too much information at once. That beer introduced itself like a full résumé!
Hop BroBasically, it means milky and tart, like a dessert-style sour with a smoothie-like texture, that’s the simple version.
MugiOhh! So Sour Ale 5.0% means Vitapo is bright and tangy, and Menkyo Henno!? is soft and hoppy?
Hop BroThat’s pretty close. A Hazy IPA 5.0% usually brings a cloudy look and a gentler hop feel, and that wild name makes it unforgettable.
MugiAnd it’s not just Yellow Beer Works, the five-tap lineup is like a nationwide tour! Nara, Tokyo, and Gifu all showed up for one round!
Hop BroExactly. There’s ZHENDAN 震旦 SAISON from FARMENTATION, Flocking from Inkhorn, Anky Lager from CAMADO, SOL NACIENTE from GARCIA, plus Yellow’s raiNing 僕のパンダのSesIPA, so the comparison flow is really well built.
MugiIf they do standing drinks and growler fills, then a stop by Nijojo-mae could easily turn into beer, then sake, then a very questionable bedtime!
Hop BroStarting with Yellow Beer Works for acidity and hops, then branching into pilsner and lager, makes the whole place feel like the perfect first stop for the night.
MugiThat settles it! I already want a Vitapo toast, then MILK&, then Menkyo Henno!? right after!
Kakuchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward operates as both a craft-beer and sake shop and a standing bar. The post says the venue offers five draft beer taps and around 10 kinds of sake, with growler fills available for customers who bring their own containers. It sits just north of Kitchen GON, near Nijōjō-mae Station.
In the July 29 Instagram post, this week’s “Pick up Brewery” was Yellow Beer Works from Fukushima. The featured pours were `Vitapo` (Sour Ale / 5.0%), `MILK&` (Milk smoothiy Sour Ale / 4.0%), and `免許返納！？` (Hazy IPA / 5.0%).
The day’s craft-beer tap list also included:
- `FARMENTATION` — `ZHENDAN 震旦 SAISON` (Spice Saison / Nara)
- `Yellow Beer Works` — `raiNing 僕のパンダのSesIPA` (Fukushima)
- `Inkhorn Brewing` — `Flocking` (Italian Pilsner / Tokyo)
- `CAMADO BREWERY` — `Anky Lager` (Gifu)
- `GARCIA BREWING` — `SOL NACIENTE` (Hazy IPA)
The result is a straightforward corner-style drinking spot with a rotating lineup that moves from sour ale and hazy IPA to Italian pilsner and lager. For beer drinkers, it is the kind of place where one visit can cover multiple styles while still leaving room for sake on the side.
