ABOUT US
aboutPhoto
This shop has been operated in the traditional Nishijin fabric district since the early Showa era (mid-1920s). Today, the third-generation master runs the shop.
In 2002, we began collecting a variety of craft beers. Today, we stock over 150 types.
We also carry Japanese sake from Shiga, Nara, Kyoto, and other Kansai region destinations.
We like to work directly with producers of craft beer, sake, and local vegetables and cherish these close-knit relationships.
Our goal is to bring these produces' passions and aspiration to you at our shop!
* We may not speak the most fluent English, but we'll spare no effort to bring you delicious craft beer!
ATTENTION
