Recommended Sake Breweries in Fushimi1.
○Features
This is the Fushimi Yumehyakushu, a sake brewery as a building constructed in 1919 as the head office of Gekkeikan Co.
This souvenir shop offers about 100 varieties of Fushimi's sake and a variety of Fushimi's famous sweets.
The cafe also offers coffee and tea made with sake brewing water, making it hard to decide which to try.
In the store,
Sake ice cream
Sake-manjuu
There are also sake sweets such as the following for you to try.
○Word of mouth
The building was built in the Taisho era (1912-1926) and has a quaint atmosphere. Gekkeikan's former head office building, where you can find various sake souvenirs and tourist pamphlets.
The building is the main store of Gekkeikan. The retro Taisho era building is impressive. There is a store and sake.
The sake breweries of Fushimi are all here. You will get lost in the variety of things lined up. The building is the former headquarters of Gekkeikan, with a retro structure both on the outside and inside.
I visited Fushimi Yumehyakushu and recommend the sake tasting set, especially for sake lovers who can drink three kinds of sake with a sake cup.
The Taisho era building used as the Gekkeikan head office is very tasteful and nice. There was also a cafe menu. I enjoyed a relaxing amazake ore.

2. Kitagawa Honke Okinaya, a sake brewery recommended in Fushimi
○Features
Kitagawa Honke is a long-established brewery in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.
Although it is a popular store that many people from all over the country purchase from online stores, etc., the directly managed retail store is Okinaya.
The store sells sake from the Kitagawa family and freshly-polished rice.
The attraction here is the popular method of "weighing and bottling" sake, in which the sake is sold by weight and bottled.
In addition to enjoying freshly squeezed sake from each of the four seasons, please take a look at the pure rice sake for beautiful skin that is popular among women.
○Word of mouth
I stopped by after visiting Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. It was interesting to see the scene where the sake is poured from the faucet into the bottle.
The store sells sake and rice. The aroma and taste of the sake is very mild and very tasty.
I often go there because I like to buy sake by weight. Located next to the Kitagawa Honke factory, it is a small sake shop, but I found it attractive to be able to buy raw sake by weight.
I drank a bottle of sake. I go to Fushimi once a year to taste sake. Tomio" is a very tasty sake with a rich flavor.
I haven't been there in several years. I bought a bottle of Junmai Daiginjo Harazake (sold by weight) for tokoso, and it is really delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone who is wondering which sake to buy as a souvenir from Fushimi.
