CRAFT BEER&KYOTO ITALIAN 100K 京都店
I learned that there is a place in Kyoto where you can taste a variety of craft beers, so I went there 🍺.
The shop is called CRAFT BEER & KYOTO ITALIAN 100K, and it’s within walking distance from Kyoto Station 🚃.
Being a craft beer place, it has an American feel, but there are touches of Kyoto throughout 👘.
For drinks, I ordered:
- Beer flight (beer tasting set) 🍺
- Kyoto Dry 🍺
- Ponto Black 🍺
Kyoto Dry 🍺
A dry pilsner with a crisp mouthfeel and refreshing aftertaste, created from uniquely selected malts and hops. It’s similar to familiar Japanese beers, and I think beer lovers would appreciate its flavor 🍺. Even for someone like me who doesn't typically drink beer, it tasted great 🍺.
Ponto Black 🍺
A porter with a rich aroma of roasted malt and a slight bitterness that expands in your mouth with deep richness and flavor. It was dark visually, and when tasted, the roasted aroma and slight bitterness hit with intensity, creating a completely new flavor experience‼️ I discovered a sophisticated taste of beer 🍺.
100K Potato Salad 🥔 - 649 yen
A pink potato salad was inside a monaka (rice cake shell) 🩷. I believe it was seasoned with shiba-zuke (pickled vegetables), and the flavor of powdered cheese and black pepper was delicious 🥔. I placed it onto the monaka shell and enjoyed it crispy and tasty ✨.
Salmon and Daikoku Shimeji Cream Pasta 🐟🍝
It was made with fettuccine 🍝. It contained plenty of salmon and large Daikoku shimeji mushrooms 🐟🍄. The cream was rich, and the cheese and black pepper coated the fettuccine well, with a strong salmon flavor. The Daikoku shimeji provided a satisfying texture, and it was super delicious 🍝. The pasta was chewy and incredibly tasty 🍝.
Braised Beef Cheek Tagliatelle 🐮
This one was also fettuccine 🍝. It was topped with beef cheek in a tomato-based sauce 🐮. The beef cheek was tender and very delicious 🐮. The tomato flavor was prominent and blended well with the pasta 🍅. The flavors of cheese and black pepper were also tasty 🧀. The onions were crisp and delicious 🧅. The pasta was chewy here too and incredibly tasty 🍝.
Fried Potatoes with Aioli Sauce 🍟
The freshly fried hot potatoes were super delicious 🍟. The aioli sauce was very tasty and made me keep eating ✨.
Of course, the beer was great, and the food was incredibly delicious 😍✨.
It was a wonderful place where you can experience the American vibe while enjoying Kyoto 🇺🇸👘.
Since it's also close to Kyoto Station, I highly recommend it for tourists visiting the area 👘.
