What’s on tap


At Beer Yume Yomi in Kyoto’s Gion district, the current lineup includes red-and-white beer, Kohaku Yebisu, and the anniversary beer Furi. The post says the draft pour of Furi is running low, so this is a good moment to pay attention if you want to try it.

Furi is a Belgian white from Noroshi Brewery. It should offer a soft wheat-driven body with the aromatic character typical of the style, making it a natural fit for a slow, focused drinking session. Kohaku Yebisu, from Sapporo’s Yebisu brand, brings a more classic malt-forward depth and a calm, rounded finish. Together with the red-and-white beer, the tap list offers a nice range from easy-drinking to more substantial flavors.

Food-wise, the post features Kome-chan’s chijimi. A beer-friendly savory pancake gives the bar a relaxed, food-and-beer rhythm rather than a rush to finish the keg. Located on the second floor of the Shima-ya Building near the Gion area, the pub is well placed for a stop during sightseeing or a casual beer crawl.
