Beer Komachi — Restaurant in Kyoto

We almost didn’t enter because of the (unappealing) plywood exterior makes it look like it is still under construction! However, many of our other options were not open during the late afternoon, so we took a gamble. I was interested in trying local beers (they also serve a range of sakes) and the Woodmill Hazy IPA that I eventually selected was very fruity with a delicious range of flavours. However, the young waiter was clueless when I told him what kind of beer I liked, and I had to go to the counter to speak to the owner to get some in help making the right choice. We ordered a pizza and some karaage, and both were quite tasty, and the music was quite nice. I had been hoping that they would serve flights of beer, so I could tasty small quantities of different beers, but that was unfortunately not the case.

My friend’s order of gyoza was forgotten by staff, meaning we had to wait even longer. With the above being considered, I could not recommend...

All Japanese Craft beer in draft. 7 possible. The Bottled beer selection was great as well offering about 25 total. Besides the all quality beer experience the food was amazing. There is one person cooking and our group of 7 loved everything that came out of the kitchen . The favorite was the scallops and lamb chops. All great prices on food as well as the beer.
