Kakuchi Asakura recaps Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto with KAMIKATZ and a tap list
Kakuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward posted a thank-you note for Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026, while also highlighting KAMIKATZ and a tap list that includes breweries such as GROUNDTAP Brewery and Minami Shinshu Beer.
Hop BroThis post from Kakuuchi Asakura caught my eye. They thanked everyone for the Kome to Mugi Festival and then rolled that energy straight into this week's beers.
MugiOoh, so you can keep the festival buzz going after the event? That is a dangerously good invitation!
Hop BroExactly. Their featured brewery is four KAMIKATZ beers: Morning Sauna, IPA, STOUT, and YUKOH HARVEST SAISON. That's a clean, broad lineup.
MugiWait, what's a saison? Also, 'Morning Sauna' sounds like a wellness retreat that accidentally serves beer.
Hop BroA saison is basically a farmhouse-style ale: light, dry, a little spicy, and really easy to drink. Morning Sauna also sounds like the crisp, refreshing one of the bunch.
MugiSo from lager to stout, you can go from breezy and bright to dark and roasty in one sitting? That's not a lineup, that's homework!
Hop BroAnd the rest of the taps are stacked too: GROUNDTAP BREWERY's AJISAI Hazy IPA, Minamishinshu Beer's Starlight American IPA, and CAMADO BREWERY's Anky Lager. The tap list range is seriously strong.
MugiHold on, Hazy IPA means the cloudy one, right? The name already makes me picture juice in a beer glass.
Hop BroPretty much. It's a cloudy hop bomb, with soft texture and huge aroma up front. Then they back it up with 2nd STORY ALE WORKS' Farmhouse 2025 and GARCIA BREWING's SOL NACIENTE.
MugiAnd this place has a machiya vibe, standing drinks, plus growler fills by weight? That is way too friendly to bad decisions.
Hop BroThat's what makes it good. They connect festivals to everyday drinking with a next glass mindset, and now I really want to start with KAMIKATZ and work across the board.
MugiSame. I want a slow tasting flight from KAMIKATZ through the hazies and finish on the STOUT. Reading this already made me thirsty.
About the shop

What the post said
The Instagram post thanks everyone who came to Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026 and everyone who helped make the event happen. It also introduces Tokushima's KAMIKATZ as this week's Pick up Brewery.
KAMIKATZ was presented with four beers: `モーニングサウナ〜`, `IPA`, `STOUT`, and `YUKOH HARVEST SAISON`. The range covers lager, IPA, stout, and saison, so the post clearly keeps the focus on beer even while looking back on the festival.
The tap list also included `AJISAI` from GROUNDTAP BREWERY, `Starlight` from Minami Shinshu Beer, `Farmhouse 2025` from 2nd STORY ALE WORKS, `Anky Lager` from CAMADO BREWERY, and `SOL NACIENTE` from GARCIA BREWING. In practice, the post works both as a festival recap and as a snapshot of what beer fans can chase through the shop's network.
That combination fits Kakuchi Asakura well: it is a Kyoto shop that connects everyday drinking with event culture, then points readers toward the next beer to try.
