Kakauchi Asakura Publishes Today’s 5-Tap Lineup: Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Nama Kado" and More
Kakauchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward has published today’s craft beer tap list. The five-label lineup includes Ise Kadoya Beer’s "Nama Kado Smoke Oyster Stout," along with Shonan Beer, Yerrow Beer Works, Bighand Bros. Beer, and DIEU DU CIEL!
Hop BroKyoto’s today’s five taps were published by Kakauchi Asakura. Starting with Ise Kadoya Beer’s Nama Kado Smoke Oyster Stout, it’s fun to see Shonan Beer, Yerrow Beer Works, Bighand Bros. Beer, and DIEU DU CIEL! all on the board.
MugiWait, five labels lined up!? Having stout, gose, and IPA all in one place is too much of a dream set, isn’t it?
Hop BroExactly, and Kakauchi Asakura also allows standing drinking, plus fill-by-weight sales if you bring a growler. One drink at the shop, one at home, that kind of flow is strong.
MugiA growler? Is that like a beer thermos?
Hop BroPretty much. It’s a system where draft beer is filled into a take-home container, which helps keep it fresh. At a shop like Asakura, the fun of drinking doubles.
MugiWhoa! Then the first thing to watch is the Smoke Oyster Stout? The name alone sounds rich, and I already feel like my mouth has turned into dark beer!
Hop BroIse Kadoya Beer’s Nama Kado is the kind with smoky aroma and oyster character, and the roasted malt gives it body and a sea-like savoriness. Then Shonan Beer’s Sakura Gose comes in, and the acidity completely changes the scene.
MugiWait, the acidity of gose is that different!? Even though it has a cherry-blossom-like name, does it give you that fizzy, sharp snap?
Hop BroThat’s a pretty close image. And there’s also Yerrow Beer Works’ Hazy Session IPA, the bitterness-forward Kyanite Bitter, and even the sharply defined Dent de requin WestCoast IPA, so the flavor range is huge.
MugiThis is basically a tasting paradise! If I can drop in casually in Kyoto and drink both beer and sake, today I want more than just one at Asakura - I want two!
Today’s Tap List
“Kakauchi Asakura” in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, is a liquor store and beer pub that serves craft beer and sake. It is also a standing-bar spot, and in that day’s post it introduced five taps of draft beer. It also supports bring-your-own growler fill-by-weight sales, a welcome setup for people who want to enjoy it at home too.
This time’s craft beer lineup spans a wide range of personalities. From Mie’s Ise Kadoya Beer, there is "Nama Kado Smoke Oyster Stout", while Shonan Beer is pouring "Sakura Gose." Fukushima’s Yerrow Beer Works has "Yerrow Mountain Hazy Sassion IPA," and Kyoto’s Bighand Bros. Beer is offering "Kyanite Bitter." In addition, Canada’s DIEU DU CIEL! has "Dent de requin WestCoast IPA," making for a lineup that crosses domestic and international styles.
Kakauchi Asakura is a shop that combines the casual drop-in feel of Kyoto’s standing-drink culture with both draft beer and sake. Its hallmark is that, even if you come for the craft beer, you can enjoy it alongside a selection of sake. In that day’s post as well, beer introductions were accompanied by event information and sake notices, conveying the shop’s everyday atmosphere as it is.
If this catches your interest, it is worth stopping by when the taps change. From a bitter that lets you enjoy classic bitterness, to a gose with aroma and acidity, a rich stout, and a West Coast IPA, the range in the glass is broad enough to cover a wide spectrum of flavors.
