Fushimi is the town of famous water where sake breweries line the streets, right? A microbrewery opened there in 2023, right next to the Otesuji shopping street. It's called "Kyoto Fushimi Beer Works".

Wow! Craft beer in Fushimi? I only thought of sake there!

Their directly operated "Tap House Fushimi" has 12 taps running all the time, and everything is brewed in-house. You can even see the brewing equipment through the glass from inside the shop.

All 12 taps are in-house beer? That's amazing!

Their motto is "brewing beers for once-in-a-lifetime encounters," so they don't cling to the same recipe and keep taking on new styles. Their standard "Otesuji Pale Ale" is the signature beer that takes its name from the neighborhood.

Once-in-a-lifetime encounters... does that mean if you don't drink it when you meet it, you might never encounter the same beer again?

Exactly. They also make things like "Dengeki Neko," an IPA packed with American hops, and "Minatogawa Breeze Saison," a light saison. Even the names show a daring sense of style.

Dengeki Neko!? That name really stands out!

"Momoyama 49ers" is a California Common brewed with lager yeast, and "Ranmaru Weizen" is made in the German style. It's interesting how they weave Fushimi place names and history into the beer names.

They've packed local love into the beer names!

Don't overlook the food either. Their specialty "Beer Malt Chicken" is fried chicken with the batter made from spent grain left over after brewing. I like how they put byproducts to good use, too.

Fried chicken with malt lees? That has to go perfectly with beer! Being able to discover craft beer in the holy land of sake makes me want to go.
