Yamorido, a brewpub in Fushimi, Kyoto, has refreshed its grand menu with a selection of house beers and guest taps. Highlights include tea-infused saisons, a coffee stout, a peppercorn lager, and two beers from Gangi Brewing.
Hop BroYamamorido, a brewpub in Fushimi-Momoyama, Kyoto, has refreshed its main menu. Fresh beer in a machiya townhouse is a pretty irresistible idea.
MugiWhat! A traditional townhouse that still feels like an old tea shop, with brewing equipment inside? Craft beer in a machiya sounds impossibly charming!
Hop BroThe star is Chakabuki, a saison made with Uji karigane tea and yuzu peel: a tea-infused saison layered with tea umami, yuzu aroma, and spicy yeast character.
MugiWhat is a saison, then? Does it mean seasonal beer? I was ready to drink a calendar! What is a saison?
Hop BroClose! It began as a farmhouse style for warm weather; today it usually means a light, spicy beer. Chakabuki also has a fresh-tea version with bright umami and bitterness.
MugiA fresh-tea version too? Every sip could start a tea party! But on a dessert-like day, I’m curious about the Afternoon Stout.
Hop BroThat is an oatmeal coffee stout steeped with dark-roast beans, bringing cocoa-like roasted aromas and a pleasing bitterness. The oatmeal gives it a softer mouthfeel.
MugiOatmeal was supposed to be breakfast’s job! So in beer it is the fluffy-mouthfeel manager? Does the sansho Mexican lager go with lighter food?
Hop BroExactly. Tomo Dacho is a Yamamorido and Gangi Brewing collaboration, with citrusy sansho and a light corn-derived body—great with fish and chips. There are also guest beers, BELLATRIX and CRACK.
MugiI’m not choosing; I’m inviting them all! Let’s get the four-beer tasting set, smoked nuts, and beer stew. A Fushimi walking-toast sounds necessary right now!
Yamorido, a brewpub located in Fushimi, Kyoto, has announced a refreshed grand menu featuring beers brewed at its on-site brewery, Yamorido Shuzo, alongside guest beers. Set in a renovated machiya that retains the atmosphere of a former tea shop, the venue offers beer and food in a relaxed setting.
The updated lineup includes Chakabuki - Japanese Saison, brewed with Uji-grown karigane tea and yuzu peel. Tea umami, citrus aroma, and a gently spicy yeast character come together in a crisp, refreshing profile. A seasonal variation, Chakabuki (Shincha version) - Japanese Saison, uses new tea to add fresh bitterness and a bright lingering finish.
For darker beer fans, Gogo no Stout - Oatmeal Coffee Stout is infused with deeply roasted coffee beans. Its aromas recall cacao and chocolate, while a pleasant bitterness remains through the finish. Tomo Dacho - Mexican Lager w/ Sansho, a collaboration between Yamorido and Niigata’s Gangi Brewing, offers a lighter option, combining a delicate body with citrusy, spicy sansho notes and herbal hop bitterness.
The guest selection features Gangi Brewing’s BELLATRIX, a wheat pale ale with sea salt, and CRACK, a cask-style IPA brewed with orange peel. Guests who want to compare several beers can also order a tasting set of four house beers.
Food options range from smoked mixed nuts and beer-pickled vegetables to fish and chips, seasonal small plates, and beef stewed in craft beer. The refreshed menu gives visitors plenty of ways to pair Yamorido’s beers with food while enjoying the character of Fushimi’s machiya district.
