Minoh Beer’s Early Peach Weizen Opens at Beer Tsukasa in Uji
Beer Tsukasa, a beer pub in Uji, Kyoto, has tapped Minoh Beer’s seasonal Kokusan Momo Weizen (Wase). In an August 6 Instagram post, the bar noted delayed deliveries in the heat and announced service from 16:00 to 21:30.
Hop BroLet me start with this: at Beer Tsukasa in Uji, Minoh Beer’s peach weizen just got tapped.
MugiWait, a peach weizen? Is that beer, or is somebody sneaking juice into a pint?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The star is Domestic Peach Weizen (Wase), a seasonal wheat beer made with Arakawa peaches from Wakayama.
MugiHold on, does Wase mean the peach? And what was that thing you casually said, weizen yeast character? Why did this suddenly become chemistry class?
Hop BroIt sounds nerdy, but it just means aromas made by the yeast. Think clove-like spice and banana notes, with fresh peach layered on top.
MugiOhh! So the aroma is super fruity, but what about the finish? I need answers on the too-sweet or not question!
Hop BroThat’s where it nails it. You get soft wheat-malt texture, but the finish stays dry, so it doesn’t leave too much sweetness behind.
MugiWhat is that! Gentle at first, crisp at the end... that’s basically a peach in running shoes. And I can get it in Uji?
Hop BroYep. At Beer Tsukasa in Uji Myoraku, the August 6 post said they were open from 4:00 to 9:30 p.m. Even with heat delaying deliveries a bit, they still got it on tap.
MugiGuest beers disappear fast, right? Then this is a go early, grab a pint situation if you want peak peach season in a glass.
Hop BroExactly. It sounds like summer in Uji poured fresh, and now I seriously want one too.
On Tap
Beer Tsukasa, a beer pub in Uji, Kyoto, has tapped Minoh Beer’s seasonal Kokusan Momo Weizen (Wase). In its August 6 Instagram post, the bar mentioned that deliveries have been running late in the intense summer heat, while also guiding guests to its 16:00-21:30 opening hours.
According to Minoh Beer’s official information, Kokusan Momo Weizen is a summer seasonal brewed with Wakayama’s Hachiki Farm "Arakawa peaches." The Wase release is the first peach variety in the lineup. It combines clove- and banana-like notes from the weizen yeast with fresh peach aroma, plus a soft wheat-driven texture and a dry, beer-first finish.
Beer Tsukasa sits in Uji and works as a place where tap changes are part of the appeal. The post also gives the sense of a bar getting ready for service while juggling incoming stock. Because guest kegs can move quickly, this is the kind of seasonal pour best caught early. For beer fans looking for a bright summer glass in Uji, this is a timely tap announcement.
