My Sake World: A Kyoto Kawaramachi Sake Experience Studio – 12 Types of Sake Tasting

Tucked down a quiet alley in Kyoto's Kawaramachi district, My Sake World is a Japanese sake tasting and creating studio easily reached on foot from Kiyomizu-Gojo Station and Kyoto-Kawaramachi Station, and just moments from the Kamo River, Gion, Pontocho, and Nishiki Market. As a fully indoor experience, it's also a wonderful option on a rainy Kyoto day, making it one of the most convenient things to do in Kyoto whatever the weather.

My Sake World curates an outstanding selection of Japanese sake from Fushimi, one of Japan's three legendary sake-producing regions alongside Nada and Saijo, as well as breweries from across the country. Whether you're completely new to sake or already know your own preferences, this welcoming, bilingual-staffed studio makes Japanese sake culture approachable, engaging, and genuinely fun to explore.

In the 12-Type Sake Tasting experience, a knowledgeable navigator first walks you through the fundamentals of Japanese sake in an easy, friendly way. You'll then taste your way through twelve distinct sakes gathered from Kyoto and breweries nationwide, discovering how aroma, sweetness, acidity, and umami vary from bottle to bottle, region to region, and style to style. It's an immersive, palate-expanding journey through the diversity of Japanese sake — a pure tasting and discovery experience, focused on savoring and learning rather than creating your own blend.

For travelers who want to go a step further, My Sake World is also known for its original sake-creating experience, where guests use flasks and pipettes in a lab-inspired setup to design their very own one-of-a-kind sake to take home. Available in several forms including with a keepsake masu cup or tasting glass, plans start from 5,900 yen. If crafting your own personalized bottle of sake sounds appealing, this hands-on experience is the perfect next step.

Set in one of Kyoto's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, My Sake World has become a favorite among couples, friends, and solo travelers alike, offering an authentic Japanese cultural experience that goes far beyond the typical temple visit. Whether you're searching for a unique Kyoto experience, an unforgettable Japanese sake tasting, or simply a memorable way to spend an afternoon or evening in Kawaramachi, My Sake World invites you to discover the rich, nuanced world of sake — one sip at a time.
