Yume Yomi in Kyoto pours Nara Brewing porter and Knot AWA, Aug. 10-15
Beer pub Yume Yomi in Kyoto’s Gion area will be open daily from August 10 to 15, 17:00-23:00. The lineup includes a Nara Brewing porter, Senntakubiyori, LUNA, Kuromoji ESB, and on Thursday, Brasserie Knot’s AWA on a Helles-style lager pour.
Hop BroThere’s a tap update in Gion worth talking about: Bakushu Yumeyomi is open every day from August 10 to 15, 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.
MugiWait, that’s super easy to drop by! And solo drinkers welcome with no reservation? That’s ridiculously beginner-friendly.
Hop BroExactly, and the draft list is four Nara Brewing beers: Porter, Sentaku Biyori, LUNA, and Kuromoji ESB, all staying on tap.
MugiOooh, but when you say Porter and ESB, my brain suddenly feels like it’s taking a pop quiz. What’s the difference?
Hop BroThink of it as beer personality types. Porter is dark and roasty, LUNA is a crisp lager, and Kuromoji ESB has a calmer, woody-spice kind of vibe.
MugiWhat is that! The article also says nitro and double-pour, and now this sounds less like beer and more like special attack moves.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. The Porter gets creamy with nitro, Sentaku Biyori gets fluffy with a double-pour, LUNA gets lager-style foam, and Kuromoji ESB gets moderate foam, so it’s basically foam by design.
MugiAnd on Thursday they’re tapping Knot’s AWA Helles Lager too? Also, the LUKR tower sounds like a secret beer fortress.
Hop BroA secret fortress is honestly not far off. The LUKR tower is a serving setup that really shapes the foam and mouthfeel, so the Thursday-only AWA Helles Lager should be perfect for that.
MugiAnd the food has blueberries, prosciutto, carrot rapee, plus fresh Tono potatoes? Yeah, there’s no way I’m stopping at one drink.
Hop BroIt’s also on the second floor near Shijo-Yamatooji, so it sounds calm and easygoing, and they’re closed on the 16th. With no reservation needed, I want to wander in and compare the pours.
MugiThen it’s settled! We rush in before August 15, start with the Porter, and chase it with AWA. I seriously want a pint right now.
Beer pub Yume Yomi in Kyoto’s Gion area will operate daily from August 10 through 15, 17:00-23:00. The post also notes that the shop will not be open on Sunday, August 16. Located on the second floor of a building west of Shijo-dori and Yamatooji, the bar is the kind of place where you can settle in quietly for a beer in the middle of Gion. Solo drinkers are welcome, and no reservations are taken.
The draft lineup is listed as unchanged for the period. The Nara Brewing porter is served with nitrogen for a rich, creamy head. Senntakubiyori is poured with a two-step method for a softer foam. LUNA is given a lager-like head, while Kuromoji ESB is served with a more moderate foam. It is a lineup that treats pouring as part of the beer experience, not just presentation.
For Thursday, the shop plans to switch from a LUKR tower pour to Brasserie Knot’s "AWA," a Helles-style lager. That makes the foam and mouthfeel part of the story, especially for lager fans. Food on offer includes a blueberry, prosciutto, and carrot-rabep salad, plus a dish made with new potatoes from Tono. For anyone looking for a focused craft beer stop in Gion, this is a timely update to keep in mind.
