Sakecafe楓fu — Restaurant in Kyoto

Visiting this sake bar was one of the best things we did in Japan! I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

The lady running the bar was very friendly and welcoming to us. She provided a sake tasting and explained the different types of sake. She explained to us that she had only been learning English for a short time, so was nervous talking to us. We found her English to be very good!

Her husband arrived later on and we spoke to him about sake, Kyoto, Japanese food, the weather, climate change and the current news.

We ended up staying here for over 3 hours, and when we left, both the husband and wife accompanied us outside and waved goodbye as we walked down the street.

We will be telling all of our family and friends to visit Sake Cafe Fu when they come to Kyoto!

Thank you for having us!

The Sake was excellent, as were the snacks provided by Rie, particularly the fried chicken which was delicious! The bamboo shoots in sauce were also very tasty and something we’d never tried before. Thank you so much for welcoming us, this was a highlight of our stay in Kyoto and would recommend to anyone wanting...

We had finished our sake tasting trip to Fushimi and were heading back to the station when we saw this place. It just looked so sweet and a lovely place to have a little bit more delicious sake. The couple who owns the place is delightful. Our sake sampler was so enjoyable and the snacks we had were 美味しかったです! Wow, handmade tofu skins and the fermented bonito with cream cheese - wow! The place is cozy and welcoming, and both the husband and wife are so friendly and kind. We'll be making another trip to Kyoto and Fushimi just to stop by...
