Kyoto’s Beer Yume Yomi taps Tsugaru Jozou’s “Tsugaru no Megumi” Weizen
Beer Yume Yomi, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Gion district, is pouring Tsugaru Jozou’s “Tsugaru no Megumi” Weizen in its July 13 (Mon) 17:30-23:00 service. It’s a quiet, beer-focused stop for taking time with a guest beer during the Gion Festival season.
Hop BroToday in Kyoto's Gion, Bakushu Yumeyomi is tapping Tsugaru Brewing's Tsugaru no Megumi Weizen.
MugiWait, I thought Yumeyomi was the brewery name. It's actually a second-floor Gion beer pub? That is peak hideaway energy!
Hop BroIt's up on the second floor at Shijo and Yamatooji, and it's a quiet solo-friendly spot. Perfect for a calm pint between Gion Festival moments.
MugiOkay, but what is a weizen? It sounds less like beer and more like a boss spell!
Hop BroA weizen is a wheat-forward ale, and you get yeast-driven esters and phenols, which is the nerdy way of saying banana-like and gently spicy aromas.
MugiWhat! I thought esters were skincare words. And with local wheat giving it a soft, pillowy mouthfeel, I already want to guard the glass with both hands!
Hop BroThat's the fun part: this beer is being poured as a symbolic first step in refining their weizen with local wheat. Good beer, plus a story arc.
MugiA story arc on draft is wild. So on Monday, July 13, it's open 17:30-23:00, and I need to remember they're closed on the 14th and 16th.
Hop BroAnd the food is not messing around either. Summer vegetable pickles are there, and the LA COMUNITÀ event has goat cheese caprese on deck. That's dangerous in the best way.
MugiI'm fully in. If it's walk-in only and solo drinker friendly, I'm chasing a quiet Gion pint and starting my summer with Tsugaru no Megumi!
Beer Yume Yomi, located on the second floor of the Shimaya Building along Shijo-dori in Kyoto’s Higashiyama ward, is a beer pub where solo drinkers can settle in and enjoy their pint at an unhurried pace. In its July 13 post, the bar announced service from 17:30 to 23:00 and noted that it would be closed on Tuesday, July 14 and Thursday, July 16.
The featured draft beer for the day is Tsugaru Jozou’s “Tsugaru no Megumi” Weizen. The bar describes it as the first step in a project that uses locally grown wheat and aims to build a benchmark Weizen, which makes it an especially interesting guest beer for fans of the style. Expect the soft texture associated with wheat beer and the aromatic lift that defines a good Weizen, presented in the calm, careful way this bar is known for.
Food is said to be the usual lineup, including summer vegetable pickles. The post also points to the second edition of the “LA COMUNITÀ” food event on Sunday, with a wide range of dishes such as goat cheese caprese, homemade ham, chicken karaage, bottarga and garlic spaghetti, and more. With its small-room, one-person-friendly setup, no-reservation policy, and clear focus on beer, Beer Yume Yomi remains a strong choice for anyone looking to spend a relaxed evening drinking well in Gion.
