What other travelers are saying about Fushimi Sake District (Sake Breweries)
Super cool experience with sake tasting. We got to try 18 different sake from the Fushimi village. If you’re into such tasting in general, this is for sure for you due to the distinguishing flavours as well as information. Additionally, you could order different food form surround restaurants, which adds such a cool deal to this tasting. It is because you could pair different food with your sake of choice. Just a tiny little minus point that the food was just average when we were there and unfortunately nothing special.
All in all, I still recommend this place!
We loved it and
This place was amazing years ago when I was in Japan, and it's amazing now that I visited back! There is so much amazing food to choose from, we got the Unagi omelet, chicken and beef skewers, Ramen, their local craft yuzu beer/cider which was amazing as well, we drank 6 each! They gave us a free sake shot when we sat down, on the house which was really good. As for Sake, we drank Tama, which was very easy to drink and kind of sweet tasting. The servers were very kind and attentive, and were very sweet and kind, that when we were at their gachapon machines trying to get certain sake gachas, they assisted us in changing bills into coins so we can continue our drunker gacha experience. They were cheering us on and getting in on the excitement during our gacha experience. This place needs to be in your itinerary when visiting Kyoto.
The food and sake was amazing! We did the 18 different sake tastings for less than 2,500 yen.
They gave you a mat to explain all the sakes and each one was from a brewery near by. On the back of the mat was a map where you could see all the different brewery locations.
After the tasting they give you a discount to a cute shop that sells all the sale you tasted and other sake materials.
Great experience, only a short train trip out of central Kyoto. We sat at the bar and could order from any of the kitchens, and just pay a single bill at the end. We tried the 18 Sake tasting platter and a range of menu items - it was a great experience!
May be worth making a reservation ahead of time to make sure you get a spot.
