🍜 Fushimizu Sake Brewery Alley

The Fushimi area is not only the site where the Kamo River, Katsura River, and Uji River flow, but it also boasts abundant underground water resources, which is why it is often referred to as "Fushimizu." This region produces a wealth of sake rice suitable for brewing sake and has been renowned since ancient times as one of Japan's top sake-producing areas. Numerous breweries, from nationally recognized ones like Hanasaki, Gekkeikan, and Takara to smaller sake makers, gather in this area. Fushimizu Sake Brewery Street is a place where you can fully enjoy tasting up to 120 brands of sake from 18 famous sake breweries in Fushimi, paired with suitable dishes. The "Sake Brewery" featuring 18 breweries has a long bar counter measuring 23 meters, and its signature "Eighteen Brewery Tasting Set" is a selection of 18 tasting combinations from the 120 varieties available, making it a must-try for sake lovers. In addition, there are various "gourmet shops" where you can enjoy sake from the "Sake Brewery" or take advantage of "takeout meals" from other shops, no matter where you sit. There are also other dishes not included in the "gourmet specialty shops" that offer unique "takeout meals," and tasting different sake at various taverns provides another layer of enjoyment.

The "delivery meal" system allows you to order dishes from other restaurants without having to move your seat, which is quite convenient. In addition to the unique "delivery meals" from each shop, there are many other dishes available. You can choose the size of the sake cup to sample various premium sakes in smaller amounts. You can also enjoy beverages other than sake, non-alcoholic drinks, or just the meals. Fushimi is a top-rated popular spot, and it is recommended to make a reservation in advance if possible.
