The beer pub Kakuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward has announced the "Kome to Mugi Festival in Kyoto 2026," to be held on June 28. The venue is the Shichijo Entrance Plaza at Umekoji Park. The event brings together sake, craft beer, food, and music.
Hop BroThe festival from Kakuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward is heating up. They are announcing "Kome to Mugi Festival in Kyoto 2026" at Umekoji Park's Shichijo Entrance Plaza on June 28, 2026, and it's a lineup where you can enjoy sake, craft beer, food, and music all together.
MugiWhat, they have both sake and beer!? And it's outdoors with music too? That's basically an event loaded with everything fun!
Hop BroAnd it runs from 11:00 to 18:00, ending when sold out. Advance tickets are 2,700 yen, and they come with a dedicated glass, a glass holder, and even 2,000 yen worth of drink tickets, so it feels like a pretty good deal.
MugiWait, a glass holder included? So you can hang it around your neck and wander around the venue? That would suddenly make you look like someone who really knows festivals!
Hop BroExactly. And the beer lineup is distinctive. For example, Bighand Bros. Beer's kurgantaite English Pale Ale is a style that lets you enjoy the malt depth and the calm aroma of hops, and it's the kind of beer you don't get tired of drinking.
MugiEnglish Pale Ale makes it sound like class has suddenly started! But if it's 'not tiring to drink,' it seems perfect for a first beer.
Hop BroAnd then there are WOODMIL BREWERY KYOTO's Rose Ale, CRAFT BEER BASE's Hop Schema059 Anchoby, GANGI BREWING's EAGY GROVE Session Hazy IPA, and Minoh Beer's Session Black IPA, so you can go from aromatic styles to dark styles across the board.
MugiWhoa, just the names Session Hazy IPA and Session Black IPA make me feel tipsy! But if it's 'session' even though it's dark, that means it's light and easy to drink, right?
Hop BroExactly. 'Session' means it's easy to enjoy many light, drinkable rounds, and it's suited for drinking while moving around the venue without feeling too heavy. Plus, there is also draft sales by volume, so you can bring a growler and take it home, which is very much like Kakuchi Asakura.
MugiAnd the sake side has 10 labels plus a special extra, right? At this point, both beer fans and sake fans are going to go in planning to 'just have a little' and end up getting serious!
Hop BroYeah, it's like Kakuchi Asakura, which usually serves 5 taps of draft beer and 10 kinds of sake, brought that same personality straight into the festival. This is exactly the kind of place where on the day, you snack on food, listen to music, and then have one more drink at the end.
MugiI totally want to go now! A beer tasting tour in Kyoto while roaming a festival sounds amazing, and I know I'd go for the beer and end up drinking sake too!

Kakuchi Asakura is a craft beer and sake shop in Higashitembincho, Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto.
