Kyoto’s Kakuuchi Asakura Highlights DIEU DU CIEL! with Five Taps and Summer Long Cans
Kakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward selected Canada’s DIEU DU CIEL! as this week’s Pick up Brewery in a May 15 post. Along with its five-tap draft lineup, it also announced the "Kome to Mugi Festival in Kyoto 2026," set for June 28.
Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura in Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward is doing a DIEU DU CIEL! feature this week. Serving draft beer across five taps and even stocking summer-friendly long cans shows that the owner’s taste is seriously sharp.
MugiWait, a feature on five taps? That’s an ultra-select lineup. But that actually makes me more excited because it feels like there’s nowhere to miss!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is strong too. Peche Mortel is an Imperial Coffee Stout at ABV 9.5%, and they also have Blanche du Paradis, a Belgian style Wit, plus Solstice d'Ete Framboise, a framboise sour ale.
MugiAn imperial coffee stout? It has coffee in it? And at 9.5%, isn’t that basically something else wearing a beer’s face?
Hop BroSometimes coffee is added directly, but in many cases they create a coffee-like character from roasted malt aromas. And here they also have the tartness of framboise, so the range between sweetness and crispness is huge.
MugiI get it, it’s a flavor roller coaster! And that 500ml long can mentioned in the post is exactly the kind of thing you want on a day when you really want to drink a lot.
Hop BroKakuuchi Asakura is a beer pub and liquor store that carries both craft beer and sake, and being able to stand and drink there is part of the appeal. It also supports growler fills by weight, so there’s the extra fun of taking home whatever you liked best.
MugiWhat, they do growler fills by weight!? That’s the kind of thing that makes beer lovers suddenly get serious. I want to grab a container and rush over too!
Hop BroThey also announced the Kome to Mugi Festival, which will be held on June 28, 2026 at the Shichijo Entrance Plaza in Umekoji Park. With Bighand Bros. Beer, CRAFT BEER BASE, Hop Kotan Brewing, and Minoh Beer all on the list, the site has a pretty dangerous atmosphere.
MugiWhoa, that’s a setup where you can get both sake and beer! If I have a drink at Kakuuchi Asakura and then start planning for the festival, there’s no choice left but to keep drinking today.
