The beer pub BEER Komachi (Komachi) in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward revealed its tap list for the day in a post announcing a February 1 opening at 5 p.m. Eight craft beers from Japan and abroad are on offer, making for a lineup that lets you enjoy styles ranging from stout to pale ale and IPA all at once.
Hop BroBEER Komachi (Komachi) in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward is serving up 8 beers on tap and opening at 5 p.m. on February 1. This is shaping up to be a hot night!
MugiWhat! 8 beers on tap? You can choose that many all at once? That's the kind of happy problem I love!
Hop BroThe lineup is strong, too, with a solid span from Minoh Beer's Imperiaj Stout to Shiga Kogen's 1t IPA, so you've got a real spread from stout to IPA.
MugiWait, what exactly does "on tap" mean? It sounds cool, but what is it actually saying?
Hop BroA tap is the faucet on a draft beer system, so "on tap" means the keg is connected right now. In other words, these are beers you can drink immediately.
MugiI see! So which one should be my first beer? The name "Neko Shika Shinjirararenai" is already way too intriguing!
Hop BroIf you want something light first, go with Onidensetsu's Kinoni Pale Ale; if you want something big, go with Minoh's stout; if you want aroma, start with an IPA. Following the character of the hops one by one is part of the fun.
MugiSeriously! BREW CLASSIC's Yokubari Gorilla and Paint Palette's HYPNOTIC GRAFFITI are the kind of names that make you get lost before you even order your first beer!
Hop BroAnd being able to drink a local option like Kyoto Brewing's Junen Ittai alongside favorites like NOMCRAFT and Shiga Kogen is what makes this a tasting paradise.
MugiThis tap lineup in Hachikencho at the end of a city walk is almost unfair. Let's start the night with craft beer today, hop bro!
BEER Komachi (Komachi) in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward announced in an Instagram post at 2026-02-01 15:13 that it would be "open from 5 p.m. today as well" and revealed the day's on-tap information. The business type is beer pub. Located at 444 Hachikencho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, it sits in an area that is easy to drop into at the end of a city walk, and it is presenting a lineup well suited to serious side-by-side tasting.
The following eight beers were confirmed in this post.
- Minoh Beer / Imperiaj Stout
- BREW CLASSIC / Yokubari Gorilla
- Onidensetsu / Kinoni Pale Ale Eclipse Ver.
- Kyoto Brewing / Junen Ittai
- Ise Kadoya Beer / Neko Shika Shinjirararenai
- Paint Palette / HYPNOTIC GRAFFITI
- NOMCRAFT / Meerkat Mania
- Shiga Kogen / 1t IPA
As a lineup, it is nicely balanced, ranging from a dark, full-bodied stout to pale ales and IPAs that showcase hop character. A local-feeling pour like Kyoto Brewing's "Junen Ittai," alongside IPA styles from popular breweries such as NOMCRAFT and Shiga Kogen, is the strength of the list.
At the same time, there are beers whose names alone make you curious, such as Minoh Beer's "Imperiaj Stout" (as written in the post) and Ise Kadoya Beer's "Neko Shika Shinjirararenai," making this a day when, from a drinker's perspective, the fun comes from choosing that first beer. If you're starting your night in Kyoto with craft beer, this is a strong candidate, thanks to BEER Komachi's wide-ranging taps on this day.
