SPRING VALLEY BREWERY KYOTO スプリングバレーブルワリー京都

Kirins craft brewery in a restored 100-year-old machiya next to Nishiki Market, opened 2016: house-brewed beers paired with Kyoto ingredients and a pairing menu.

About

Spring Valley Brewery takes its name from Japans first commercial brewery, founded in Yokohama in 1870, whose lineage Kirin claims. Its Kyoto outpost occupies a beautifully restored machiya townhouse on Tominokoji-dori at the edge of Nishiki Market, with brewing tanks visible inside and a menu of beers that use Kyoto touches such as yuzu, sansho and Uji tea, served with a pairing food menu. It is a comfortable, family-friendly way to try Japanese craft beer during a day around Nishiki.
