Kakuuchi Asakura Announces "Kome to Mugi Festival in Kyoto 2026" on June 28
Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward has released its business schedule for June. In addition to being closed on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it will also be closed from June 27 to 29 for event preparations. On June 28, it will hold "Kome to Mugi Festival in Kyoto 2026" at Umekoji Park and is introducing five craft beer selections.
Hop BroFor June, when Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto is on the move, the Kome to Mugi Festival is the main event. On June 28 at the Shichijo entrance plaza in Umekoji Park, they’re holding an event where you can enjoy sake, craft beer, and food all together.
MugiWhoa! So it’s an outdoor event at Umekoji Park? Kakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub where you can stand and drink, right? A place like that doing a festival outside sounds completely exciting!
Hop BroExactly, and the taps they introduced feature five craft beer labels. They range from KYOTO NUDE BREWERY to Shiga Kogen Beer, so the lineup lets you see the character of breweries from all over, not just Kyoto.
MugiWhat is that! From lager to Hazy IPA sounds hard to understand just from the names! How are they different?
Hop BroRoughly speaking, KOMOREZORA-木洩れ空- Lager is a crisp, easy-to-drink style, Rose Ale is fragrant and gentle with a bright character, and EAGY GROVE Session HazyIPA is the kind that keeps the easy-drinking feel of a lighter beer while bringing out the aroma.
MugiOhh! So Hazy IPA is the cloudy kind? It kind of sounds like juice and seems strong, but if it’s a session beer, that feels a little more approachable.
Hop BroExactly. Hazy means a cloudy, aroma-forward style in both appearance and mouthfeel. What’s also interesting this time is that you can bring your own growler for fill-up sales, so you can take home the beer you like at your own pace.
MugiWhoa, bringing your own growler is allowed? With the advance tickets that include a special glass and glass holder, the event setup alone already gets me excited.
Hop BroAnd since Kakuuchi Asakura is known as a shop with five draft taps and 10 kinds of sake, that personality really comes through in this festival announcement too. Being closed from June 27 to 29 for preparations feels like they’re going all in for the big day.
MugiThen on June 28, I’ll want to go raise a toast in Kyoto! I’m curious about the lager, the Hazy, and the blond ale too. My throat already feels like it got to the venue before I did!
