Kakuchi Asakura Announces Holiday Service on May 5, Highlighting Japanese Sake and Craft Beer for Golden Week
The beer pub "Kakuchi Asakura" in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward announced that it will be open on the May 5 holiday despite its usual closing day. The post showed that visitors can enjoy Japanese sake and craft beer in a space suited for daytime drinking, and bottles from BYOTO Brewing Co. could also be seen.
Hop BroA holiday-opening kaku-uchi in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward is set to open on May 5 despite its regular day off. Being able to stop by from midday near the end of Golden Week is really welcome.
MugiWhat, they're open on a Tuesday!? Just having a shop open on a day off already feels like a treat!
Hop BroAnd the hours are 12:00 to 21:00. It's set up for daytime drinking, so it seems like a place that can handle anything from a relaxed first drink to a proper session.
MugiDrinking from noon is the best! But this isn't just a beer bar, right? It's a kaku-uchi style place? That sounds kind of intense!
Hop BroExactly. It's a shop that comes from Nihonshu BAR Asakura and lets you enjoy both Japanese sake and craft beer, with a lineup that also has that liquor-store feel.
MugiA liquor-store feel means snacks piled up next to the register? Or is kaku-uchi something even deeper?
Hop BroKaku-uchi is the culture of drinking alcohol you bought in the shop right there on the spot. Here, that mixes with beer pub elements, and the appeal is how easy it is to drop in for daytime drinking.
MugiOhhh! And the image says there is Kyoto local sake too, so sake fans are smiling as well!
Hop BroAnd since the label for BYOTO Brewing Co. is also visible on one of the bottles, craft beer drinkers are clearly being invited too.
MugiIt's strong enough to have beer as well as sake! If there is lots of craft beer too, just choosing what to drink could take up the whole holiday!
Hop BroThe location just north of Nijo Castle is also great, so if you are unsure where to go in Kyoto during Golden Week, this is the place. A spot where you can choose based on your mood really hits the mark for drinkers.
MugiYeah, I want to go from noon now! I want to go back and forth between Japanese sake and beer and end the Golden Week break with a toast!
