Yamorido releases Gangi Brewing collaboration beer Tomo Dacho in Kyoto
At Yamorido, a brewpub in Kyoto's Fushimi district, the Gangi Brewing collaboration beer Tomo Dacho has been released. The 4.5% Mexican lager with sansho appears alongside seven house beers and two Gangi Brewing guest taps.
Hop BroI need to talk about Yamorido's new release today. Yamorido in Kyoto's Fushimi teamed up with Gangi Brewing on Tomo Dacho, a sansho-scented Mexican Lager.
MugiWait, a sansho lager!? A beer with Japanese pepper taking center stage is a lot of information!
Hop BroThe build is solid, though. Pilsner and Vienna set the base, Corn Grits lighten the body, and it's fermented with W-34/70 for a clean finish.
MugiWhat is that! Fermented with W-34/70 sounds like either a secret code or a beer robot model number!
Hop BroThat's a lager yeast strain. It keeps things crisp and clean, so the gentle IBU 15 bitterness and the citrusy sansho note show up clearly.
MugiOhhh, so it's not face-melting spice, it's more like a citrusy finish floating in at the end. At 4.5%, that sounds dangerously easy to drink!
Hop BroExactly. They steep frozen sansho berries from Tamba-Sasayama during fermentation, so it stays food-friendly. And that day there are nine taps total: seven house beers from Yamorido plus two Gangi guest beers.
MugiNine taps!? That's a tasting traffic jam! And with MOREISH and HOP SUMMIT on deck, my stomach has already booked the evening!
Hop BroThat's peak Yamorido. In a Kyoto townhouse brewpub, you can bounce from Chakabuki to Afternoon Stout to the new-tea version, which makes for a perfect Fushimi crawl.
MugiFrom light lager to hoppy stuff to dark beer, the range is absurd! You go in saying one glass, and the lineup laughs in your face!
Hop BroFirst toast has to be Tomo Dacho, then I'd detour into HOP SUMMIT while the sansho finish is still fresh. My throat is Kyoto-bound at this point.
MugiSame! I'm basically holding an imaginary pint already. Let's go drink now and start with Tomo Dacho!
Yamorido, a brewpub in Kyoto's Fushimi area, highlighted the release of its collaboration beer with Gangi Brewing, `Tomo Dacho`, in its latest Instagram post. The venue's tap list also shows the range the bar is pouring alongside the collab.
`Tomo Dacho` is a Mexican lager with sansho. It comes in at 4.5% ABV and IBU 15, built on Pilsner and Vienna malt with Corn Grits for a lighter body. Saphir and Magnum provide a herbal bitterness, while W-34/70 keeps the finish clean. Sansho from Tanba-Sasayama is steeped during fermentation, adding citrus and spice without pushing the beer out of lager territory.
The house lineup that day included `Chakabuki`, `Makomako`, `Minamikaze`, `SKIP`, `Gogo no Stout`, `Chakabuki -Shincha ver-`, and `Tomo Dacho`. Guest taps were `MOREISH` and `HOP SUMMIT` from Gangi Brewing. It's a compact snapshot of what Yamorido does best: a brewpub setting where house beer, seasonal variations, and guest pours can be compared side by side in Kyoto's Fushimi neighborhood.
