Fushimi Sake District

Nestled in southern Kyoto, Fushimi has been Japan's premier sake-brewing hub for over three centuries, with sake literally flowing through its waterways. Charming wooden buildings line quiet streets where you can peek into working breweries and watch traditional sake-making processes, then sample award-winning varieties at intimate tasting rooms. The district's rich mineral-laden waters from underground springs create the perfect conditions for crafting sake that has earned international acclaim.
