Kotokoto Beer to make its debut at the Yase Eiden Beer Festival
Kotokoto Beer, the Kizugawa, Kyoto-based brewery, will join the Yase Eiden Station Beer Festival at Yase-Hieizanguchi Station from September 4 to 6. The brewery is scheduled to appear only on September 6, marking its long-awaited first appearance at the event.
Kotokoto Beer, a microbrewery based in Kizugawa, Kyoto, will take part in the Yase Eiden Station Beer Festival at Yase-Hieizanguchi Station on the Eizan Electric Railway. The event runs for three days, from September 4 to 6, 2026, and Kotokoto Beer will be there only on September 6.
According to the post, this will be the brewery's long-awaited first appearance at the festival. The venue is an attractive station setting surrounded by nature, and the festival brings together multiple craft breweries and food vendors. Opening hours are 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on September 4, and 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 5 and 6. Last orders are taken 30 minutes before closing each day.
This year's event also features an original beer glass. It will be sold in limited quantities of 150 per day at 2,000 yen including tax, and drinks poured into the glass will be 50 yen cheaper at each brewery. For festival-goers, it is set up as an easy way to sample beers across the venue.
Kotokoto Beer describes itself on its official site as a microbrewery in Kyoto's southernmost Kizugawa area and says it aims to make beer that works well with food. Its first appearance at this festival gives the brewery a clear opportunity to present that style in a high-traffic event setting.
