History and Highlights

​Fushimi Sakagura Koji​ is a dining facility where visitors can enjoy Fushimi sake and food in one location. Fushimi was once written with the characters "伏水," and since ancient times it has been a land where high-quality water wells up abundantly. The sake brewed with this water has been considered mellow and smooth on the palate. Full-scale sake brewing in Fushimi is said to have begun around the 15th century, and records from 1657 (Meireki 3) show 83 sake brewers in Fushimi.

The centerpiece of the facility is the sake specialty shop "Sakagura." Along a counter extending over 23 meters in length, there are always more than 120 brands of sake from the 18 breweries belonging to the Fushimi Sake Brewers Association. Specialty food eateries surround the shop, so visitors can easily try pairings of Fushimi sake and dishes.
