Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto announces July 20 closure, lists five draft beers
Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Kamigyo ward announced on Instagram that it will close temporarily on Monday, July 20. The post also shared a five-beer draft lineup, including Bighand Bros. Beer’s Limestone.
Hop BroKakuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward is closed on July 20, but the tap list posted with that notice is a five taps, five beers kind of lineup, and it's stacked.
MugiWait, you're getting this excited over a closure notice? Now I need the beer lineup immediately!
Hop BroThe first one that jumps out is Limestone from Kyoto's Bighand Bros. Beer, and the style is Lime Curd Sour. It's a sour that really pushes bright lime character.
MugiHold on, what is lime curd? We were talking about beer and suddenly I'm in a dessert shop!
Hop BroThink of the lime version of lemon curd, with rich citrus flavor from the juice and peel. In beer terms, it's basically dessert-level acidity.
MugiOhhh, so it's tart and playful. And Starlight from Minamishinshu Beer is an American IPA, so there's a classic hoppy lane too!
Hop BroExactly. Then Inkhorn Brewing has Flocking, an Italian Pilsner, plus CAMADO BREWERY's Anky Lager and GARCIA BREWING's SOL NACIENTE, which is a Hazy IPA.
MugiItalian Pilsner? So... pilsner with pizza vibes? A nationality-tagged lager is a lot for my brain right now!
Hop BroNot totally wrong, but basically it's a pilsner base with a more expressive hop aroma layered on top. You get crispness and aroma in one glass.
MugiNow I want a full tasting flight! And Kakuchi Asakura has standing drinks, ten kinds of sake, and even growler fills to-go? That's way too powerful!
Hop BroAnd it's in Kyoto's Nishijin area near Nijojo-mae Station. If regular hours return on July 22, we need a first-round strategy ready.
MugiDone. Limestone first for the surprise, Flocking for the respect sip, then SOL NACIENTE for the haze finish. I already have my drinking order locked!
