A short walk from Gion-Shijo Station.
A sake bar located in a corner of the 4th floor of a multi-tenant building below Shijo Yamato-oji.
The young owner, who also owns an IT company, opened the shop due to his love of sake.
"We want to stock a variety of sake that everyone will like," and the store offers a variety of sake, including sweet, dry, and crisp varieties, with a focus on local Kyoto sake.
We also wanted to create a bar that people would casually visit as a second stop, so even though it's located right in the heart of Gion, you can enjoy a meal at a reasonable price.
