Enjoy
sake and Japanese food
at a remodeled sake brewery
Fushimi ward in Kyoto is renowned for being one of the leading sake brewing areas in Japan. If you are looking for a place to eat when visiting this popular sightseeing area, look no further than Kyoto Kitchen Tsuki no Kurabito.
Tsuki no Kurabito is housed in a building originally built in 1913 as a brewery for the Gekkeikan Sake Company, which has since been converted into an izakaya.
With high beamed ceilings, the interior of the restaurant has a warm atmosphere and exudes Japanese elegance.
When on vacation in Kyoto, we hope you will come to our stylish restaurant and sample some fine Japanese cuisine together with some of Gekkeikan's seasonal sake.
Whether you come for lunch or dinner, we have plenty of dishes available to match perfectly with sake, such as our famous hot pot made with Dai Ginjo sake, or our homemade tofu.
The restaurant can easily be reached from any of the area's major tourist attractions, such as Fushimi Inari Shrine, Gekkeikan Ōkura Memorial Hall, or Teradaya.
We can accommodate up to 180 people, so if you are looking for a dining venue for a tour group, please don't hesitate to contact us.
