The restaurant was located along the river and had a nice atmosphere. It was bright outside even in the evening during the summer, so it was pleasant to visit after work. The Sake Kasu Curry had a strong flavor of sake lees, but it was a rich and delicious curry.

I was introduced to this bar nearby. It is a stylish place located on the top of a building along the river! They have a selection of carefully chosen Japanese sake lined up in the fridge. You can choose by yourself, or the staff will kindly explain to you. It's great! It's a favorite spot of mine. There are still many more unknown places around here, and I think this area is an interesting town. I will visit again!

I heard that there is a standing sake bar in Sakaisuji Hommachi that offers 150 types of sake, not just a wide variety, but a place where you can find many of your favorite brands. Is it a sake bar where you can stop by for sake or a stylish bar? When you get off the elevator on the 5th floor of the building, you will find an open space with a beautiful view of Tosabori River, creating a nice atmosphere. When you hear that it is a sake specialty store, you can imagine the type of customers, but here it is surprising to see young female customers filling up the place. I was surprised by the popularity. I received recommendations on sake that goes well with the food and my favorite sake from the knowledgeable female manager, and enjoyed dishes such as assorted appetizers, hotate butter soy, warm dashi tofu, grilled stingray fin, and grilled mackerel sushi with sake including Toyo Bijin limited edition Junmai Daiginjo, Shura Junmai Ginjo, Akabu Junmai sake NEWBORN, Mimuro Sugi Yumachi Junmai Ginjo grazie a Dio, Hanayoka Junmai Daiginjo, Nabeshima New Moon freshly squeezed Junmai Ginjo, and Kikuhime Yamahai Junmai unfiltered raw sake. Sake selection is a must-have pleasure, so it's nice to enjoy sake while considering what kind of sake to try next by looking at the labels in the refrigerator. I was surprised to see a large refrigerator with 150 types of sake. What surprised me when I came to this store was the lineup of rare sake. When I asked if there were any other recommendations besides the menu, I was immediately recommended the Wind Forest ALPHA6 6 in honor of the 6th generation. The power of the 6th generation yeast from Shinsei Sake Brewery's Yusuke Sato is incredible. While I thought that Akitsuhonoka lacked the umami of local Nara rice, the strength of the 6th generation yeast from Shinsei was impressive, with a beautiful bitterness and a fresh snap, as well as the strength of the rice. It was amazing to understand how difficult it is to obtain such a rare sake in an instant. I also tasted the NEWBORN from Akabu among the easily obtainable sake, and the level was surprisingly high for a pure rice sake. The store recommends based not only on deliciousness but also on the point of view of sake lovers, making it a valuable learning experience. There are often surprises at the checkout when drinking rare sake, but it's reassuring to enjoy 5 dishes and 8 sake for 10,000 yen in a good atmosphere. I love sake, so I want to choose it myself, but the characteristics of the recommended brands were perfectly in line with the perspective of sake lovers, so it was a happy experience to drink various sake at a store with such knowledgeable staff. I liked it, so I will definitely visit again!! Looking forward to the next visit. I'm doing Instagram @ginjirou.star.

I came to the restaurant that I was curious about for lunch. It seems like a place where you can drink sake, so I am very interested in coming back at night, but for now, let's have lunch first (^｡^) When the elevator opened, I was greeted right away. I ordered and paid first, but they also accept electronic money. I was in the mood for a hearty meal even though I love omurice, so I ended up changing it to omurice with fried chicken. There are counter seats facing the window, so it's fine to dine alone. Having lunch while looking at the view is relaxing and nice. The view is great, and seeing all the sake lined up is also nice. I thought it would be a nice place to come for drinks even if I can't make it for lunch. (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)

"Visiting the sake specialty store 'Kokoroshira' for lunch! The friendly owner recommended the rooftop with a great view. I had the Chicken Tatsuta-age lunch set for 800 yen, which included juicy and flavorful chicken tatsuta-age, potato salad, fresh vegetables, miso soup with tofu and seaweed, rice, and pickles. The chicken was well-marinated and delicious. Enjoyed the pleasant breeze by the river, it was really nice."

This is a Japanese sake bar located in Fukuohashi! The bar is situated along the river, offering a fantastic location. They have over 100 types of Japanese sake available. The unique style of this bar is serving sake in wine glasses. The interior is stylish, creating a great atmosphere for enjoying sake. Although we didn't have food this time as it was our second stop, they also offer a variety of delicious food options, making it suitable for both first and second stops. There is a terrace on the rooftop where events are held, providing various ways to enjoy the bar. Next time, we will visit as our first stop and take our time to enjoy the experience. Thank you for the wonderful time!

The owner, who is also a sake instructor, runs a sake bar called "Shirahaku," named after the central part of sake brewing rice. They mainly offer elegant sake above the junmai ginjo level, with a selection of 130 different types of sake available at all times, including rare brands that can be sampled from 60ml. Sake lovers will surely enjoy this bar, which also serves authentic food. The interior features artwork by Kiichiro. The highlight is the stylish rooftop bar dedicated to sake, where you can enjoy the night view of Tosabori while savoring sake (rental fee for private events is 1000 yen for 2 hours, drinks are additional). The photo shows the "FIRST DRINK Set," which includes one glass of sake and three food items for 1000 yen. The place seemed to be popular among groups.

This is my second visit to Kokoroshiro-san. The number of customers has increased since last time, so it seems to be getting popular. They have unique sake and perfect appetizers to go with them. I'll order something spicy again this time. I enjoy talking to the knowledgeable staff and having them choose a drink for me, as I like discovering new sake rather than choosing on my own.

I went to a Japanese sake bar that has been open for 2 months, where you can enjoy Japanese sake in wine glasses. It is located in the same building as "#FutsuNiFuruUtsu". The interior is stylish and the staff, especially the beautiful lady, was very friendly. I visited during a quiet time and had a great time listening to various stories about Japanese sake. They have a wide variety of sake that I haven't seen before, and I enjoyed both the dry and fruity ones. The food that goes well with sake is also well-prepared. The edamame served as a starter was perfectly seasoned, not too salty. I really like such kind of restaurants. It's a place where even a woman dining alone can casually drop by.

Located on the 5th floor of a new building along the river, this place is a pleasant surprise as you step out of the elevator directly into the restaurant. The modern space with exposed concrete features a large table in the center. Looking towards the windows at the back, you can enjoy a beautiful night view of the illuminated municipal science museum across the river. It's a great atmosphere for women to enjoy sake in style. Sake is available starting from 60ml for around 400-500 yen, with a wide selection to choose from. The lineup of sake is impressive, showing the owner's dedication to sake. They also offer tasting flights on the chalkboard menu, making it enjoyable even for sake beginners. The food menu is also well-rounded, perfect for pairing with drinks. Whether you're a couple or a group of 4-5 colleagues, this is a stylish place to enjoy sake.

Second visit. Last time it was crowded so I couldn't really look around, but this time it was empty so I took a good look inside. The interior with exposed concrete was quite stylish. As someone who doesn't usually drink alone, it was a bit intimidating, but the staff's friendly service made me feel comfortable and I had a good time. I was disappointed that the Hiroumi and Juyondai I wanted to drink were sold out, but I tried about 5 different types. They were all delicious, and I once again felt that sake is really good. It's the best to be able to enjoy drinking in that atmosphere. Next time, I might challenge myself to drink alone...

I was able to enjoy drinking sake comfortably.

It was a bit more expensive, but we enjoyed it.

The owner's character is amazing. They have a wide variety of sake and the events they occasionally hold are fun. It's a wonderful shop where I feel like I could hang out all the time if it were nearby. It's perfect for people who like to have some snacks while drinking.
