What other travelers are saying about Fushimi Sake District (Sake Breweries)
Awesome spot to try all kinds of sake and alcoholic drinks in Japan. I went all in with the 18-sake tasting set—yes, I did it solo—and felt great afterward. Pro tip: you’re required to order at least one drink at your table, so I added a local beer on the side.
Tons of food options available, all from your seat—just order off the menu and they bring everything to you. Super convenient and chill.
I walked in with no reservation, which I couldn’t find mentioned in other reviews, so hopefully that helps anyone planning to visit. The atmosphere was great, and the sake connoisseurs were super friendly and guided me in the right direction with any questions I had.
Highly recommend if you’re curious about sake or just want a fun, relaxed drinking experience!
Nice place to visit in Kyoto. Good food and good sake and they have structure to receive tourists who don’t speak Japanese. The guy who received us was very kind, cool and he explained a lot about sake to us!
A nice place to sit and perform a sake tasting with locals. Located near a market in Fushimi ward (an area known for its sake breweries) you can choose to go for 9 samples of 18 samples depending on your appetite.
We went for 9 which also comes with a variety of small servings of sides. Each of the sake were unique and the alcohol % rangex from less than 10% to 18%.
All in all, enjoyed the experience so much and it was worth the money.
Note that the tasting is shareable as long as you order atleast one drink per person. We ordered a bottle of beer and this set.
Stumbled upon this place thanks to Reddit and was not let down! I did the 9 sake and 9 appetizer pairing and it was excellent. My husband got the 18 sake tasting and loved it as well. I enjoyed every sake I tried. Ordering is a breeze with so much sake and food to choose from. It’s foreigner friendly and I felt welcome. No reservation needed.
We came to this establishment as part of a sake walking tour. The food and service were fantastic, both from the walking tour as well as the sake tour. Enjoyed the tataki, gyoza, grilled horse meat, the iron skillet, and multiple skewers. Highly recommend.
