MugiWhoa! And they were able to install a handrail on the entrance stairs too? That's a real step forward in making the place easier to visit!
Hop BroExactly. Those kinds of steady improvements matter. Inside, they have five taps of draft beer plus Japanese sake, so it's strong how you can choose based on your mood.
MugiWhat! Five taps sounds small, but it's actually the kind of setup that makes you seriously hesitate. And they even have 10 kinds of Japanese sake?
Hop BroThey do. And from NOMCRAFT they've got WINE NOT? and KNIGHT FISHERMAN. Both are 6.5% ABV, and the former is a Japanese Wine Ale.
MugiJapanese Wine Ale? Wait, is that beer with a wine-like vibe? My head is totally a style maze now!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, it's a beer that aims for fruitiness and wine-like nuances. Then Dip Hop IPA KNIGHT FISHERMAN sits alongside it, so you can enjoy the difference in aroma direction too.
MugiOhhh! And with names like Ise Kadoya Beer and Shonan Beer, seeing such a mix of domestic and international breweries is exciting too.
Hop BroYeah, with Nama Kaku Smoke Oyster Stout and Sakura Gose in the mix, today feels like a lineup of distinctive brews.
MugiWait, there's an event too! On June 28, 2026, Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026 at Umekoji Park sounds way too fun!
Hop BroA drink at the shop, then a drink outside, that flow is the best. I want to drink right now, and I'm seriously torn over what to order at Asakura.
MugiTotally! Then I'll start with WINE NOT?, and you take KNIGHT FISHERMAN, hop bro, so let's get ready for a toast!

Kakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub centered on craft beer and Japanese sake. The post also introduces it as a shop with five taps of draft beer and 10 kinds of Japanese sake, and its appeal lies in the chance to encounter different drinks each day. Another plus for sake and beer lovers is that favorite drinks can be purchased to take home.
The post further announced that "Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026" will be held on June 28, 2026. It is being presented as an event where visitors can enjoy Japanese sake, craft beer, and food together at the Shichijo entrance plaza in Umekoji Park.
