What other travelers are saying about Fushimi Sake District (Sake Breweries)
Can only comment on the drinks since that's all we got, but as a tourist this place was a fun time. We came around 1pm on a Monday afternoon and there were still a handful of groups having drinks. I can only imagine how fun this place would be at night on a weekend.
This place houses multiple restaurants in more of a food hall kind of vibe, but a lot of it comes down to their drinks which specialize in sake. I came here to try the 18 sakes from 18 different breweries, which is a great price at 2480 yen. The sakes came with descriptions for each, including a map of where each one came from in Kyoto. I personally think this is a must try for any tourists that enjoys getting their drink on.
The staff here are mostly friendly, one waitress kind of seemed a little annoyed that we asked about a drink that never came out, until she realized that she had made a mistake and she apologized and brought it right out. Our main waitress tried her best to communicate with us which we really appreciated.
If you’re in Kyoto and love sake, this tasting experience is an absolute must! I had the chance to sample 18 incredible flights of sake, each with unique flavors and aromas that showcased the depth and diversity of Japanese sake craftsmanship. The host was extremely knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the brewing process and the regional differences between sakes. The snacks paired perfectly with the drinks, enhancing the overall experience and keeping the tasting session enjoyable throughout. The setting was intimate and beautifully designed, creating the perfect ambiance to savor each sip. I left with a deeper appreciation for sake and some new favorites to enjoy at home. Highly recommend this unforgettable experience!
Went here for lunch on a Saturday, and it was great. It was busy, but we got seats. We did the 18 wake tasting and the beginner tasting. What a good variety of sake. You can only do the 18 sake tasting at the counter, and they require 1 drink per person. The 18 sale only counts as one. It seemed like we were the only foreigners there, which means it is good! Yhe wait staff was very attentive and nice with good English. About 6600 yen for 18 tasting, beginner tasting, and two dishes
You MUST come here! We had the best time trying all different types of sake in a really wonderful environment. We also ordered sushi and gyoza within our sake and the gyoza was the best we’ve had so far in Japan. This was a great stop after our morning at Fushimi Inari. Walk those steps and treat yourself here.
Excellent place to be able to sample sake from across the local breweries. The ability to also choose food from several restaurants was an added bonus. Had oden, which was a nice side to accompany the sake. The ability to sample a wide variety of sake is nice for both people new to sake as well as those looking to broaden their experience and support local breweries.
