KaruizawaQ's "Kaze Tooshi" tapped at Kyoto Gion's Bakushu Yumeemi, open until 23:30 on Friday
Kyoto's Gion beer pub "Bakushu Yumeemi" will be open until 23:30 on Friday, May 15. On tap are KaruizawaQ's "Kaze Tooshi" Session IPA and Nara Brewing's micro porter, with food including fries and barracuda fritters.
Hop BroKyoto's Gion beer pub, Bakushu Yumeemi, is staying open until 23:30 on Friday, May 15. I love that you can just drop in for a drink.
MugiWhat, 23:30 in Gion! If they welcome solo drinkers, that sounds really easy to walk into!
Hop BroExactly. It's nice that you can stop by without a reservation. The star on draft is KaruizawaQ's "Kaze Tooshi" Session IPA. It's light, but the aroma is properly IPA.
MugiSession IPA? What's that! If it's a light drinking profile, is it something even beer beginners can handle?
Hop BroYeah, it's 5% ABV, and it keeps the hop balance while making it easy to drink. In other words, it has the brightness of an IPA, but is designed so it goes down smoothly down the throat.
MugiOh, that sounds perfect for the first drink on Friday. And there's a dark beer too? Low-ABV dark beer sounds really interesting!
Hop BroThat would be Nara Brewing's micro porter. Even at ABV 3%, being a WBC gold-medal-winning batch makes it reassuring, and it neatly captures the appeal of dark beer.
MugiAnd the foam looks delicious too, right? When I hear creamy foam, it feels like you're drinking with your eyes already!
Hop BroI know. What's great is that you can enjoy even the way the ball tap pours and how it pairs with the glass. And there are also Faro's yuzu-and-sansho white and Cuvee Delanquet, so the tap rotation is interesting too.
MugiThe snacks look good too. If there's fries, Camembert, and even barracuda fritters, there's no reason not to drink!
Hop BroIt's perfect for a night in Kyoto when you're looking for a drink that isn't flashy but has substance. Tonight, just because they're open until 23:30, I feel like stopping by and starting with the Kaze Tooshi.
MugiYeah, I want to go! Just the sound of a drink in Gion already sets the mood for tonight.
Open Until 23:30 on Friday
The beer pub "Bakushu Yumeemi," on the second floor west of Yamato Oji on Shijo-dori in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward, will be open on Friday, May 15, from 19:00 to 23:30. Like a place tucked away in a corner of Gion that welcomes solo drinkers and does not take reservations, it is the kind of bar where you can drop in casually and enjoy a drink starting with the first glass.
The Centerpiece on Draft Is "Kaze Tooshi"
First up among the draft beers that day is KaruizawaQ's "Kaze Tooshi" Session IPA. It is described as a 5% beer with a brisk drinking profile centered on hop balance, and while it has the aroma you'd expect from an IPA, the design that lets it slide smoothly down the throat is especially appealing. On a Friday that stays open late, it is an easy choice for a first drink.
A Low-Alcohol Dark Beer Too
Another highlight is Nara Brewing's micro porter. It is introduced as a WBC gold-medal-winning batch, and although it is a low-alcohol beer at ABV 3%, it is presented as a beer that neatly captures the appeal of dark beer. The creamy foam from the ball tap and its compatibility with Arakawa's glass are also mentioned, making it something to enjoy not just with the eyes but with the mouthfeel as well.
Ongoing Taps and Food
Also still being served are Faro's white beer with yuzu and sansho, and Cuvee Delanquet. Both are reportedly being gradually depleted by repeat orders, so you can feel the quick turnover that is characteristic of craft beer inside the shop as well. While the serving of Asahi Draft Beer has ended, the Premium Malt's is slated to be tried again later.
In addition to the standard fries, the food menu includes Camembert cheese and more. Furthermore, barracuda fritters are scheduled to appear from the following day onward, making this a welcome lineup for anyone who wants to calmly pair beer with snacks. On a night in Kyoto when you want draft beer that is subtle rather than flashy but has substance, this is a place worth remembering.
