Japonica Dining Bar and Cafe

No Longer In Business

I’d just started going here and they already closed? Shame, they were open for lunch and had a good burger with well priced quality Japanese brews though the selection lacked depths it was good. Service was nice and it always felt fairly busy when I went, shame.

Interesting place connected to a record store. Trendy cafe vibe, quite cosy, short but good selection of j-beers, average prices. Seems to be opened through the day, nice place for a couple drinks in a relaxing setup.

This is not really a craft beer bar, but a very nice cafe with a cool atmosphere and a few great beers on tap. They have 3 Japanese craft taps, usually two from Kyoto Brewing Company and one from Shiga Kogen, so the beers are good, although you are not likely to find anything rare. Sometimes they ahve Shiga Kogen bottles as well. Food is also good. A recommended stop if you are in the area or are doing a Kyoto pub crawl.
