KYOTO: Fushimi Sakagura Koji @ Fushimi
If you love nihonshu (Japanese sake) and you’re in Kyoto but don’t have much time to explore multiple sake spots, just come here and you won’t be disappointed!
Fushimi Sakagura Koji
Fushimi Sakagura Koji, also known as Fushimi Sake Brewery Alley, brings together 18 sake breweries and more than 100 sake brands under one roof.
If you have no idea what to order, go for their “18 Breweries’ Sake Set”. It’s a great way to sample sake from all 18 breweries and discover which ones you fancy the most!
There are also a number of specialty restaurants within the space, serving a great variety of dishes to pair with your drinks, including sushi, kushikatsu, Kyoto-style oden, teppanyaki, charcoal-grilled dishes, sake lees ramen, and more.
As we were a bigger group, we were seated in the table section, where they have plenty of space to accommodate larger groups. If you’re coming with a smaller group, you can also choose to sit at the bar counter for a more intimate experience.

18 Breweries’ Sake Set (¥ 2,430)
You get to enjoy 18 different types of sake, with one selected from each of the 18 breweries. Each sake comes with a description, sake meter value, and alcohol percentage, so you’ll know exactly what you’re drinking.
I spotted 月の桂 The Branche and immediately knew I had to order it!
You can pick more sake to make it your own sake flight!
They also offer Beer and Sparkling Sake too if you are not into Sake.
Fried Tofu (¥ 880)
Beef Stew (¥ 600)
Butayaki Gyoza (¥ 550)
Sakekasu Ramen (¥ 1,100)
This is the one and only type of ramen here, and it’s a local specialty that you can find in this space. You can even choose the sake lees from 8 different breweries!
We picked the one made with Tamanohikari, which has a bolder sake flavour that really came through in the ramen.
Shimesaba (¥ 890)
An izakaya dish I will always order whenever I see it on the menu!
If you’re a sake lover visiting Kyoto, Fushimi Sakagura Koji is definitely worth a stop, especially when you’re short on time and want to sample a wide variety of sake and local dishes all in one place.
