The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Southern Kyoto
Southern Kyoto has a reserved air. Though the Fushimi Inari Shrine is one of Kyoto's major tourist attractions, the surrounding nature, parks, gardens, temples, and shrines provide less-visited spaces for strolling and reflection. The Fushimi Inari Shrine itself is made up of 32,000 sub-shrines, and the mountain they are dotted across beckons hikers, picnickers, and lovers of the outdoors. Many of the mountain's off-set paths aren't frequented by tourists, and the mountain's serenity can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Southern Kyoto is the place to enjoy being outside, and to pay your respects to the ancient architecture and gods of the land that are celebrated here.

The 18-sake tasting was fantastic and the perfect activity for a large group (we had 6). I was able to make a reservation online in advance for a table. Each couple shared the 18-sake tasting and it included a great range of local sakes with information in English. We were also able to order food from any of the stalls in the building from our server and have it delivered to the table.

I had a blast at the Fushimi Sake Village. FSV is the place to do sake tastings in the Fushimi Saké District. Initially, the barkeep offered me a tasting of 18 different sakés. EIGHTEEN! I would pass out for days. Through a pantomime, I communicated that I would rather taste less saké but higher end. The bartender brought out three beautiful saké glasses and three bottles of saké. Let it suffice, I was in Heaven. The saké was complex, layered, and delicious. I was so taken with one of them that he led me through a maze of corridors to their “sister” saké shop, where I bought a bottle. The Fushimi Saké Village is a fantastic place to visit.

The place is very down town type. However very nice to be around even when you have kids. There is so much sake options here and way cheaper . Decent crowd and you can see in some places how sake is made. Highly recommend to visit even if you don’t enjoy alcohol as there are places for coffee lovers and foodies.

I stopped by this shop on a trip around the sake breweries in Fushimi. I was interested in this place because I had been introduced to it by an acquaintance. If you go here, you can order a sake tasting of 18 breweries. It looks good, and the amount is just right, about 2 go even if you drink everything. There are many options for snacks, including delivery from various shops in the shop. I recommend trying it at least once, but I wonder if the types of sake will change at some point.

I felt really sad about coming back to my home country and finding out how expensive imported Japanese Sake was, so please enjoy this region as much as you can and make sure you take a few bottles back home (starting at around 1000 JPY). In addition to the excellent Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum (very well worth it) we visited a few bars and grocery shops where we could also get Sake tasting:
- Kizakura Kappa Country
- Fushimi Yumehyakushu
- Aburacho
Make sure you visit the boulevard close to the subway station there. You can find some very good (and cheap) local eateries. The place is a bit outside of the average touristic area, so you are able to enjoy the true local atmosphere.

Our group of 9 visited the town of Fushimi in search of Sake. The town is known for its Sake production, large breweries, Sake shops & a museum. 3 weeks before arriving in Fushimi, I made an on-line reservation at a an establishment known as the Fushimi Sake Village (FSV). The term "Village", I believe is because of the relationships between the bar & neighboring Izakayas & restaurants. Our goal was to sample & learn about the locally brewed Sakes. We started with their featured 18 cup sampler (only 2200 yen!). It was the ideal start. All 18 Sakes served are brewed in the town, so as fresh as can be expected as Sake does not contain any preservatives. After sampling all 18 glasses, we ordered the favorites (the ones with the empty glasses facing up on our tray) & appetizers. Your food orders are provided by neighboring izakayas & restaurants. Please note, most of the food establishments open in the early eve For the widest selection of food, make your reservation for after 5pm & if you're going by train, take into account what time the last train leaves for Kyoto Station. It will help with the trying to remember the likes from the likes & the dislikes. One of best things we did was to take a picture of the bottle's label of all the favorites. Then just showed the picture at the Sake shop or department store and the staff knew exactly what we wanted. In summary, make a reservation through TableCheck, visit after 5pm & order your food before sampling.

Fushimi is one of the famous areas of Japanese sake breweries in Japan. "Gekkeikan" is one of the sake in this district and well know in the world.
We can enjoy the tasting of 17 kinds of Japanese sake that are brewed in Fushimi area in this restaurant.
Further, this restaurant (or I should say food court) comprises 8 small bars including Sushi and some other Japanese local cuisines.
The location of this restaurant is around 10 minutes walk from Fushimi-Momoyama station of Keihan line or Momoyama-Goryo station of Kintetsu line. When you have a chance to visit Fushimi-Inari shrine, I recommend you to make a little side trip to this restaurant.

My friend and I had an amazing time at the Sake Village. We were introduced to the owner the night before, and despite us speaking zero Japanese he invited us down to Fushimi to see his place. It was really neat to try a few of the nine or so restaurants. The sake tasting was fantastic, all local, and there was a live band. Couldn't recommend this place more highly. (Is a bit tough to find, but worth it).

In Fushimi Sakagura Koji you can try Sake made by 17 different breweries in Fushimi. A small glass (70ml) of Sake costs from $3 to $15. It is an ideal place to taste different kinds of Sake. You can also order some food.
