Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura from Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward is setting up a booth and bringing draft beer and sake to the Nishijin Fes Spring Marche on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
MugiWhoa! It’s got both beer and sake!? Is it really okay to be that ambitious, or is this just pure happiness at the venue?
Hop BroSee, Kakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub renovated from a machiya townhouse in Nishijin, and its signature is the kakauchi style that lets people enjoy drinks while standing.
MugiWhat even is kakauchi! Does it mean a standing-drink culture thing? That sounds so insider-y, I’m suddenly straightening my posture.
Hop BroPut simply, it’s a casual way of drinking that keeps the easygoing feel of a liquor shop. This time too, they’re bringing the shop’s atmosphere straight to the event with 5 taps of draft beer.
MugiWow! And the lineup sounds luxurious too, like five distinctive beers? I’d have trouble deciding where to start, in the best possible way!
Hop BroFor example, there’s Bighand Bros. Beer’s kurgantaite English Pale Ale, WOODMILL BREWERY KYOTO’s Rose Ale, and CRAFT BEER BASE’s Hop Schema059 Anchoby, so there’s a wide range of flavors on offer.
MugiWhoa, the names alone are intense! But when you say English Pale Ale, it suddenly feels like an adult drink.
Hop BroAnd there’s also Hoppu Kokan Jozo’s Seiran COLD IPA and Minoh Beer’s Session Black IPA, so it’s a tasting paradise where you can enjoy everything from light and easygoing to hop-forward styles.
MugiThat’s amazing! If I can stop by while walking around the neighborhood at the Nishijin Fes Spring Marche, I’d want more than just one drink, I’d want to try them all!
Hop BroSince it’s only set up on Saturday the 23rd, I don’t want to miss it. In the end, this is the kind of thing that makes you want to raise a glass together.
The beer pub Kakuuchi Asakura, located in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, will take part in the Nishijin Fes Spring Marche, held on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24, 2026 at Community Bank Kyoto Shinkin Nishijin Branch. According to an Instagram post, Kakuuchi Asakura will appear only on Saturday, the 23rd, and visitors will be able to enjoy draft craft beer and sake on the day of the event.
The shop is a beer pub in a kakauchi style, renovated from a machiya townhouse in Nishijin. It is known as a place where people can casually enjoy craft beer and sake while standing, and the post also indicates that it will bring along a selection of "5 taps of draft beer and 10 kinds of sake." The booth will bring the shop’s liquor-store-like lineup directly to the event venue.
The craft beers listed in the post were Bighand Bros. Beer’s kurgantaite English Pale Ale, WOODMIL BREWERY KYOTO’s Rose Ale, CRAFT BEER BASE’s Hop Schema059 Anchoby, Hoppu Kokan Jozo’s Seiran COLD IPA, and Minoh Beer’s Session Black IPA. With styles ranging from pale ale and rose ale to COLD IPA and black IPA, the lineup should make it easy to enjoy a tasting comparison from lighter beers to hop-forward ones.
The Nishijin Fes Spring Marche is an event that brings together local food and beverage businesses as well as makers, and visitors can also enjoy food walks and hands-on activities at the venue. Paired with a stroll through Nishijin, this looks like a good opportunity to try the beers selected by Kakuuchi Asakura.
