A casual sake bar in Kyoto with a broad variety of sake and Japanese tapas in a cozy atmosphere.

MK Guide Recommends

If you step into Masuya Saketen, looking for sake and smiles (a good indication of a quality izakaya), you’ve come to the right place. This unassuming yet popular spot, hidden at the end of a narrow alley, is the perfect stop for those looking to indulge in the famous fermented drink and perhaps socialize with locals in a laid-back yet pristine environment, renovated from an old townhouse.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere jovial, and tapas are on tap to pair with your drink, either hot or cold, depending on your preference. The pizza and grilled rice balls are standouts. It’s a great spot for a night out, bar hopping, or a cheeky daytime drink for those looking to cut loose and have fun, taking a break from traditional sightseeing.
