Kobayashi Saketen in Kyoto adds four canned beers from HINO BREWING
Kobayashi Saketen in Kyoto’s Kawaramachi area has added canned beers from HINO BREWING, a craft brewery in Hino, Shiga. The lineup spans four styles: IPA, lager, stout, and pale ale, and pours are also available by the glass inside the shop.
Hop BroKyoto just got a fun new drop: four HINO BREWING cans landed at Kobayashi Saketen in Shijo Kawaramachi.
MugiWhat, really? Kobayashi Saketen is that standing bar-style spot too, right?
Hop BroExactly. It started as a liquor shop back in 1877, and now it is known for craft beer too. The best part is glass pours in-store as well.
MugiOhhh, that is dangerous in the best way. Not just takeout cans, but you can compare them there too?
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong. DONTOYARE IPA is a Hazy IPA, so it is cloudy and loaded with juicy hop aroma.
MugiHold on, what is Hazy IPA supposed to mean? It sounds like a beer you drink inside a fog machine.
Hop BroBasically, it means a softer, cloudy IPA. It is not just bitter, it is more about big hop aroma and a smooth feel.
MugiOkay, I get it! Then which one goes best with food? BAKA LAGER already has chaotic energy.
Hop BroFor food, the Czech Style Lager BAKA LAGER is the easy pick. Then KUDARI STOUT is a Coffee Stout for a slow night, and YAREYARE ALE is the balanced American Pale Ale.
MugiThat sounds way too good. Now I want to head out and find the perfect Kyoto night beer at Kobayashi Saketen immediately.
Kobayashi Saketen, located in Kyoto’s Hanayakoji shopping street near Shijo-Kawaramachi, is a beer pub that combines retail sales with standing-drink service. With roots in a liquor store established in 1877, the shop is known for carrying craft beer, sake, natural wine, and other carefully selected drinks.
In the Instagram post, the shop announced the arrival of canned beers from HINO BREWING, a craft brewery based in Hino, Shiga. The lineup includes `DONTOYARE IPA` (Hazy IPA) for hop aroma, `BAKA LAGER` (Czech Style Lager) for easy food pairing, `KUDARI STOUT` (Coffee Stout) for a slower evening, and `YAREYARE ALE` (American Pale Ale) for a balanced, easygoing pour.
Because the beers can also be enjoyed by the glass inside the shop, customers can either take the cans home or taste them on the spot. That flexibility fits Kobayashi Saketen’s style well: a place where you can stop in for a quick standing drink, or compare styles and look for the beer that suits the Kyoto night best.
