Don’t know if this really should have been added, but hell, since it was, I will add my two cents. This is part of a chain of stores all over Japan. Generally they have a pretty good selection of beers at reasonable prices. Sometimes you find amazing bargains, sometimes interesting stuff like 2004 Boon Framboise. I find that stores in the countryside seem to have a better selection of Japanese micros, usually stuff from the area. This one has about 10-15 J. micros, plus a couple dozen Belgians, and handfuls of British, German, and a bunch of macro crap. It’s a good place in the center of Kyoto, so if you are looking to see what’s available, you should stop in. Expect no one to be able to answer beer questions.

This is a import grocery store. It has a huge selection of imported beers and ususally some Japanese Craft beers. The prices are very good for Kyoto and you can also get lots of imported food.
