Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward has five taps to explore, from light pours to bold IPA.
MugiWhat, five different beers? I could spend the whole evening choosing!
Hop BroFor a first glass, try Fujizakura Heights Beer’s Yuzu Weizen—soft wheat character with a gentle yuzu aroma.
MugiWhat exactly is a weizen? Does a wheat beer taste like bread?
Hop BroIt uses wheat, which gives it a soft, smooth feel. Not liquid bread, thankfully—just very approachable.
MugiOoh, then NOMCRAFT BREWING and open air’s Vacation Mind! That name alone makes me want a holiday.
Hop BroIt’s a hazy IPA from Wakayama, with juicy hop character and a naturally cloudy look.
MugiWait—juicy without juice? Hop, are you secretly dropping fruit into the tank?
Hop BroNo secret fruit! Hop aromas can suggest citrus and tropical fruit. YOROCCO BEER’s toita Saison is fresh and food-friendly, too.
MugiThen I could start with Hanjirou Beer’s New World Kolsch and pair the saison with food!
Hop BroExactly—and finish with Westcoast Brewing’s Game Night Double IPA for a bold hop finale.
MugiAnd they offer growler fills, too! I’m ready to toast at Kakuuchi Asakura right now!
Kakuuchi Asakura, a beer pub located in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, is featuring a five-beer craft lineup with a broad range of styles. The selection moves from bright, easy-drinking beers to hop-forward IPA expressions, making it suitable for both casual first pours and focused tasting.
The first tap is Fujizakura Heights Beer’s Yuzu Weizen, combining a soft wheat-beer character with the fresh citrus aroma of yuzu. The second tap features Vacation Mind, a collaboration between NOMCRAFT BREWING and open air. Listed as a Hazy IPA from Wakayama, it offers the hazy appearance and juicy hop profile associated with the style.
YOROCCO BEER’s toita Saison is available on the third tap. Its saison character and refreshing finish make it a natural choice alongside food. On the fourth tap, Hansharo Beer presents New World Kolsch, a light and crisp interpretation of the Kolsch style from Shizuoka.
The fifth tap is Game Night from Westcoast Brewing, listed as a Westcoast Double IPA from Kanagawa. With a stronger hop presence and fuller intensity, it provides a clear contrast to the lighter beers earlier in the lineup.
Located at 141-3 Higashitenbincho in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, Kakuuchi Asakura brings the casual atmosphere of a Japanese standing bar together with a carefully varied craft-beer tap list. Guests who bring a growler or similar container can also purchase beer to take home, adding another way to enjoy the current selection beyond the pub.
