Bakushu Yomemi to Serve Senshu Mizu Nasu and De Ranke's "Cuvee de Ranke" on May 2
The beer pub "Bakushu Yomemi" in Gion, Kyoto, will be introducing Senshu mizu nasu, freshly delivered straight from the farm, for its May 2 service. On draft, it will newly add De Ranke's "Cuvee de Ranke" and Shirosuzume's "Hanauta," along with Knot's "FLOWER" and Nara Brewing's "SPIRAL."
Hop BroThe beer pub Bakushu Yomemi in Gion, Kyoto has switched its draft lineup to a brighter, more Golden Week-style selection for May 2.
MugiWait, and they even have Senshu mizu nasu delivered straight from the farm? They're serious about the snacks too, not just the beer.
Hop BroThat's the best part. And the beer to watch is De Ranke's Cuvee de Ranke, a Belgian sour ale with a lambic blend.
MugiA lambic blend? What's that! Does Belgian sour ale mean it's sour but easy to drink?
Hop BroBasically, they blend in naturally fermented lambic, so it gives off a punchy freshness. It's strong as a first drink after you've worked up a sweat.
MugiI see! Then I'm curious about the new Shirosuzume Hanauta too - the name alone sounds delicious!
Hop BroThis one uses asparagus and even jasmine flowers in the Golden Ale. It's light and really seasonal.
MugiAsparagus in beer is news to me! But if that's the case, it really does feel like the kind of pint perfect for Golden Week that gets you excited!
Hop BroThere are also Knot's FLOWER and Nara Brewing's SPIRAL, so the lineup has a nice range that keeps things fun.
MugiAnd Senshu mizu nasu is juicy and suited to eating raw? My mouth is basically becoming a beer pub already!
Hop BroIf you're drinking quietly in Gion, it's a great match, and tonight feels like it could be a night where you can't decide on your first drink.
MugiYeah, it's settled then - mizu nasu and sour beer it is! I want to get there fast and taste that first sip together!
Bakushu Yomemi on May 2
At the beer pub "Bakushu Yomemi," tucked away in a corner of Gion, Higashiyama in Kyoto, the draft lineup will be partially refreshed for service on May 2, leaning into a bright, refreshing direction suited to Golden Week. The shop follows a style that says "no large groups, solo drinkers welcome," making it a place that suits days when you want to relax and savor one glass at a time.
The highlight this time is De Ranke's "Cuvee de Ranke." It is introduced as a Belgian sour ale made with a lambic blend, and is described as a beer finished by adding Girardin lambic to an original sour ale brewed with yeast descended from the old Rodenbach strain. It has a punchy freshness that should also work well as the first drink after working up a sweat.
Another new addition is Shirosuzume's "Hanauta" Golden Ale. It is a special product made with asparagus, and this year it also uses jasmine flowers. As its Golden Week-perfect name suggests, this is a beer that promises a light, seasonal character.
Other draft beers available include Knot's "FLOWER" and Nara Brewing's "SPIRAL." "Submarine Forest" is temporarily off tap and is expected to return once space opens up.
For food, there is Senshu mizu nasu, delivered fresh from the farm just after harvest. It is described as juicy, with even a melon-like impression, and is best enjoyed raw. Pairing seasonal vegetables with draft beers of distinct character is exactly the kind of enjoyment this place is known for.
It is a service notice worth remembering for those times you want to quietly drink craft beer in Gion, and for when you want to choose a pint to go with seasonal ingredients.
