Kyoto’s Beer Yumeyomi features Shirosuzume’s "Kaeri Awaji" on Thursday tap day
Beer Yumeyomi, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, announced its regular Thursday “Maniac Beer Day” for July 2, featuring Shirosuzume’s new keg, “Kaeri Awaji,” while its anniversary beer “Fūri” is down to its last few liters.
Hop BroHere’s a great Kyoto story today. At Bakushu Yumeyomi in Higashiyama, their Thursday Maniac Beer Day is pouring a new draft from Shirosuzume called “Kaeri Awaji.”
MugiWhat! That name already has me curious! Kaeri Awaji sounds cool, but what kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a fruit ale built around naruto orange from Awaji Island, in a Belgian Blonde style. They lowered the ABV a bit from last year and tucked in local sea salt as a secret accent.
MugiHold on, what is Belgian Blonde even supposed to mean? My brain just pictured a blond Belgian person marching in with a beer glass!
Hop BroThat image is chaotic, but not totally useless. It basically means light sweetness and soft aroma, with a bright ale base that lets the citrus show cleanly.
MugiOhh, nice! Add sea salt on top of that and it sounds like salty citrus magic, which feels perfect for summer.
Hop BroAnd that naruto orange has history with the pub too. They used it in the anniversary beer “A LONG VACATION,” so tasting it here gives you the full backstory as well.
MugiSo you’re basically drinking the story too! But I heard Furi is almost gone already, right?
Hop BroExactly. Furi is a Belgian White from Noroshi Brewing with a gentle elderflower aroma. There’s only about 3 liters left on draft, then it switches to 15 small bottles and that’s the end of their allotment.
MugiOnly 3 liters? That suddenly feels tiny! And when you say 15 small bottles, it sounds like the countdown clock is already ticking!
Hop BroThat’s the mood at Yumeyomi too. They’re open from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and the whole point is a slow drinking night in a calm room, not some flashy party.
MugiThen it’s settled! Kaeri Awaji for citrus and salt, Furi for floral notes, and now all I can think is I want a glass immediately.
On tap
On Thursday, July 2, Beer Yumeyomi in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district ran its regular “Maniac Beer Day” from 5:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The featured new keg was Shirosuzume’s `Kaeri Awaji`, a fruit ale built around Naruto orange from Awaji Island. The bar describes it as a balanced Belgian-style blond ale, brewed with a slightly lower ABV than the previous year and a small amount of Awaji sea salt as a subtle seasoning note. The post also recalls `A LONG VACATION`, another Shirosuzume beer that previously used the same citrus.
Also available was the anniversary beer `Fūri`, with about 3 liters left on draft before switching to 15 small bottles. Brewed by Noroshi Brewing, Fūri is described as a Belgian white with elderflower character.
Beer Yumeyomi says the beers are best enjoyed in its calm interior, alongside a small selection of regular food dishes, making this a quiet night for people who want to follow the beer’s background as much as its flavor.
