What to expect

Let's embark on a walking tour where you can enjoy Fushimi, one of Japan's three major sake brewing areas, and its historical and charming townscape!

First, we will stop by the museum of Gekkeikan Sake Company, Kyoto’s largest sake brewery, which also has a factory in California, USA. Here, you can learn about sake through exhibits of traditional sake brewing tools and theater screenings. Enjoy the tasting of Junmai Daiginjo, the pinnacle of Japanese sake!

After that, at Kizakura Sake Brewery, you can enjoy not only sake but also Kyoto craft beer. Kizakura Sake Brewery is famous for being the first to create local beer. A tasting of Kyoto beer is included in the price here.

At "Fushimi Sakagura Koji," operated with the support of 17 sake breweries belonging to the Fushimi Sake Brewers Association, you can enjoy local Fushimi sake and dishes from all over Japan. The 17-Types Sake Tasting Set, which is often featured on Instagram and other social media platforms, is sure to be photogenic!

Fushimi Yumehyakushu utilizes the former main store of Gekkeikan, built over 100 years ago. Here, we offer sake ice cream made from sake for those who do not like alcohol or pregnant women. It is very popular with women and children.

Finally, we have prepared a sake tasting with explanations from the manager of the sake shop called Aburacho.

Please join us on a tour where you can enjoy not only sake knowledge but also the charming streets of Kyoto! We are waiting for you.
