Kakuuchi Asakura Featured on TV Osaka with Five Draft Beers
Kakuuchi Asakura, a beer pub in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, was featured on TV Osaka’s "Otona Tabi Aruki Tabi." The post also revealed the day’s five draft beers, showcasing a lineup from breweries across Japan.
Hop BroKyoto has a good one right now: Kakuchi Asakura got featured on TV Osaka, and they even revealed all five draft taps.
MugiWait, not just the shop, but the five draft taps too? I'd already be making my ordering face.
Hop BroAnd the range is great, from FARMENTATION's ZHENDAN SAISON to HINOBREWING's Gamou Helles, basically from Nara to Shiga in one lineup.
MugiHold on, saison plus IPA is a thing? What is SesIPA supposed to be? Did two beer styles fight and then make up?
Hop BroMore like the best-of-both version. You get saison yeast aroma with IPA-style hop character, so it feels light but still bright.
MugiOkay, wow! Then what about Inkhorn Brewing's Flocking, the Italian pilsner one? That name alone made my posture improve.
Hop BroSimplest way to picture it is dry and hoppy pilsner. Clean bitterness, soft aroma, and the kind of crisp finish that disappears fast.
MugiGot it! And this liquor-store bar does beer by weight too? That's absurdly strong. One drink there, then the sequel at home.
Hop BroExactly. Bring a growler and you're set, and something like CRAFT BEER BASE's Australian style Pale Ale is perfect for the 'one more glass' trap.
MugiSo it feels like everyday Kyoto, but the tap list is nationwide. One Nishijin neighborhood stop and suddenly it's a whole beer trip.
Hop BroRight, and in that Kitano Tenmangu to Imadegawa kind of mood, Yellow Beer Works' panda-named SesIPA makes one more inevitable.
MugiNow I completely want a drink. If they're closed August 11 through August 14, we need a growler in hand plan for before or right after.
Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Higashi-Tenbincho, Kamigyo Ward, was featured on TV Osaka’s "Otona Tabi Aruki Tabi." The post described the shop as part of everyday Kyoto life, around Kitano Tenmangu, Nishijin, and Imadegawa.
The venue works as a kakuuchi-style beer pub and liquor shop, with standing space available. According to the post, it offers five draft lines and supports growler fills, so guests can enjoy a pint on site or take beer home.
The day’s tap list included five beers:
- FARMENTATION "ZHENDAN 震旦 SAISON / Spice Saison" (Nara)
- Yellow Beer Works "raiNing 僕のパンダのSesIPA" (Fukushima)
- Inkhorn Brewing "Flocking Italian Pilsner" (Tokyo)
- CRAFT BEER BASE "North west Pale Ale / Australian style Pale Ale" (Osaka)
- HINOBREWING "Gamou Helles / Munchener Helles" (Shiga)
The lineup spans saison, SesIPA, Italian pilsner, pale ale, and Helles, giving the shop a broad and flexible draft selection. Japanese sake is also part of the offering, but the beer list alone is enough to make it worth a stop. For beer fans in Kyoto, it is a useful place to experience local kakuuchi culture alongside well-chosen draft beer.
The shop also noted that it will be closed from August 11 through August 14.
