MugiWhoa! So Kakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub where you can enjoy it standing up? That sounds really in the know!
Hop BroThe first one this time is Persia, made with white peach juice, and as a Peach Gose it also has white peach, cinnamon, and vanilla in it.
MugiWhat! Increasing the salt ratio means adding saltiness to the beer? That's surprising!
Hop BroExactly. With gose, the balance of acidity and salt is key. Persia leans into that and is finished with a fuller body. The ABV is 6.0% .
MugiSo the second one, Hydrangea, is it more floral in taste than in appearance? It says refreshing mouthfeel, so I'm curious!
Hop BroHydrangea is a Saison, with a light touch of yeast-derived spice and layers of citrus and white grape aroma. It finishes dry and crisp, so it's pretty easy to drink.
MugiThat's the kind of thing that makes you want to drink it! And the post also announced the June 28 event Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026, right?
Hop BroThe venue is Umekoji Park's Shichijo Entrance Plaza, and it's an outdoor event where you can enjoy beer, sake, and food all at once. The tap list is impressive too, with Kyoto breweries lined up one after another.
MugiDrink VERTERE at Kakuuchi Asakura, then drink at the festival too - now I just want to compare them all!
Spotlight on VERTERE
Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto's Kamigyo Ward introduced Tokyo-based VERTERE on Instagram as this week's "Pick up Brewery." As a craft beer and sake specialty shop that also fits its standing-bar style, the post highlighted two beers with distinct character.
- Persia
A Peach Gose made with white peach juice, cinnamon, and vanilla. By increasing the salt ratio beyond the usual level, it creates a fuller body, and the ABV is 6.0%.
- Hydrangea
A Saison characterized by spicy notes from the yeast and a dry mouthfeel. Hints of citrus and white grape aromas layer in subtly, resulting in a crisp, clean, and refreshing drink. ABV is 6.0%.
Kakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub in Higashitenjincho, Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City, where you can enjoy five taps of draft beer and sake inside the shop. It also has the face of a liquor store, and another feature is that you can check its daily recommendations and incoming labels on Instagram. In the Nijo Castle Mae Station area, it offers the convenience of everything from a casual first drink to a more leisurely tasting comparison.
The post also announced the "Kometomugi Festival in Kyoto 2026." It will be held on Sunday, June 28, 2026, from 11:00 to 18:00, at the Umekoji Park Shichijo Entrance Plaza. It is being promoted as an outdoor event where you can enjoy sake, craft beer, and food all together, and the craft beer tap list includes KOMOREZORA-木洩れ空- (KYOTO NUDE BREWERY), Rose Ale (WOODMIL BREWERY KYOTO), Hop Schema059 Anchoby (CRAFT BEER BASE), EAGY GROVE (GANGIBREWING), and Session Black IPA (Minoh Beer).
