Mukai Craft Brewing’s 89 Kuromoji ESB Tapped at Beer Yumeyomi in Kyoto
Beer Yumeyomi, the Gion-area beer pub in Kyoto, has put Mukai Craft Brewing’s new 89 Kuromoji ESB on tap. The ESB brings malt depth and the refreshing aroma of kuromoji, adding a seasonal note to the bar’s six-tap lineup.
Hop BroThere’s a fresh Kyoto tap update: 89 Kuromoji ESB went on at Bakushu Yumeyomi in Gion today.
MugiWhat, Kuromoji ESB sounds like a secret spell! Why is there a tree in a beer name?
Hop BroKuromoji is a fragrant Japanese wood, and ESB is an English-style ale built around rich malt.
MugiESB as initials totally loses me. So this is basically an English pub beer with a twist?
Hop BroExactly. This one starts with ESB malt depth, then lifts it with kuromoji freshness on top.
MugiWhoa, that sounds like my taste buds would do a double take. Perfect for summer much?
Hop BroPretty much. Mukai Craft is a brewery in Niyodogawa, Kochi, and they’re great at showing sense of place in beer.
MugiSo you can sip Kochi while sitting in Kyoto. That’s kind of romantic. And Yumeyomi has a six-tap lineup too, right?
Hop BroYep. They pour craft beer and carefully handled Yebisu, and that second-floor spot by Minamiza has room for aroma to really open up.
MugiThat is dangerous. I’d go in saying one last drink and end up choosing this as my first Gion pint.
Hop BroThat’s the charm. Instead of flashy hype, it leaves an impression through balance, basically a seasonal guest keg done right.
MugiThen it’s settled. I want to raise a glass there and cool off with 89 Kuromoji ESB!
Guest tap update
Beer Yumeyomi, the Kyoto beer pub near Gion Shijo and Minamiza, has introduced Mukai Craft Brewing’s new 89 Kuromoji ESB as a draft offering. With six taps and a reputation for careful beer service, the bar is built for drinkers who want to sit down and focus on each pour.
About the beer
89 Kuromoji ESB is an ESB with a malt-forward base and the cool, aromatic character of kuromoji, a Japanese fragrant wood. The post describes it as something to enjoy with a sense of refreshment, making it a beer that invites slow sipping and attention to aroma.
Why it fits this bar
Mukai Craft Brewing, based in Niyodogawa, Kochi, is known for beers shaped by local water and ingredients. That approach fits Beer Yumeyomi well: a second-floor pub in Kyoto’s theater district, where the setting is as considered as the beer list.
For beer drinkers in Gion, this is the kind of tap update worth noting: one new guest beer, clearly defined, in a bar that treats draft service as a craft in itself.
