When I went to Shimizusaka after a long time, I found a lovely shop! Tasting craft beers for 1,200 yen each, all from Kyoto... Exciting! Each beer had its own drinkability and fruitiness, and they were all delicious! Personally, I liked the Kolsch! It's also great that you can stand and drink here from noon!

I walked from Gion through Yasaka Shrine, continued to explore the area around Kiyomizu Temple for about 2 hours, feeling parched, and finally descended the last O-bon slope. That's when I spotted the words "Craft Beer and Local Sake"! I was drawn in and ended up ordering a craft beer tasting set. It was affordable, refreshing my throat, and allowing me to cool down, so I was very satisfied. This spot doesn't have many foreign tourists, so it's recommended for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle!

After leaving the freshly cooked rice at Doi Gion store, I headed to my next destination, Toji Temple. After finishing the special viewing of the five-story pagoda and collecting three special viewing stamps, I planned to enjoy the free sweets at a designated shop. Unfortunately, the shop was closed for the day, so I had to give up as the affiliated shop was in the opposite direction of where I wanted to go next towards Kiyomizu. I ended up wasting time, so I headed to my next destination. I took a city bus and got off at Gojozaka. As I walked towards Kiyomizu Temple, I noticed a bar with a menu board offering craft beer and sake for standing. It seemed interesting, so I decided to stop by. I entered and immediately studied the menu. While the sake looked tempting, I decided to go with beer. I ordered a flight of three craft beers and Tamba edamame. The Kolsch was bitter yet refreshing, the Altbier had a rich flavor, and the IPA was fruity with a nice bitterness. The edamame was delicious as well. It was a nice place, and although I wanted to order more, the rule of such places is to drink quickly and move on. So, I quickly made my way to the next destination.

After visiting Kiyomizu-dera, we stopped by this stylish standing bar at my husband's request. All the staff are women. The walls are decorated with pottery sake cups that are available for purchase, with prices listed. I'm not a fan of sake, so I had a beer while my husband tried a sake tasting set. I couldn't resist trying a sip, and the best one was the Junmai Daiginjo from Kamitsuru Shichiyō. The thick, firm tofu also paired perfectly with the sake. I was so impressed that I wanted to buy some from the brewery. This bar is perfect for a light drink, especially after visiting a shrine.

I stopped by after visiting Kiyomizu-dera for sightseeing. It's a stylish standing sake tasting bar. I had a sake tasting set of three types for 1,000 yen and a craft beer in a medium size for 800 yen. The interior has only a counter with about 12 seats. There were two female staff members. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.

It's a standing bar. On the way from bus stop Gojozaka to Kiyomizu Temple. Before seeing the autumn leaves illuminated, I decided to have a drink. I enjoyed comparing different types of sake and cream cheese. I had a good time slightly tipsy and enjoyed the autumn leaves viewing. Thank you for the meal!

There was a shop on the approach to Kiyomizu-dera temple. It was hot and I was thirsty, so I stopped by. They had craft beer from Kyoto, and I ordered a tasting set of 3 beers for 1000 yen. You get 140ml of each beer. The beers were Kyoto Machiya Brewery Kolsch, Kyoto Hanamachi Brewery Alt, and Kyoto Hannari IPA Indian Pale Ale. All the beers were delicious, with no disappointments!

Let's go to Kyoto! In the midst of clichés, let's go leaf-peeping at Kiyomizu-dera Temple. After enjoying the intensely red autumn leaves, we head towards Kyoto Station. Last time I tried to visit this shop on the way back from Kiyomizu-dera, it was closed due to the pandemic. It is located at the intersection of Chawan-zaka and Gojo-zaka. It seems that things have settled down with COVID-19, as the shop was bustling with many customers. It took about 20 minutes to get a table that day. We ordered a sake tasting set for 1,000 yen, a half glass of junmai daiginjo for 500 yen, and hot oolong tea for 400 yen. We also had fresh yuba for 600 yen. As usual, we paid in cash when ordering. It may have been my first time at Night 336. The atmosphere was very nice. Although the door was left open, the powerful heating system installed on the ceiling was effective. It put us in a nice tipsy mood. Thank you for the meal.

A shop near Kiyomizu in Kyoto where Naokari-kun is very likely to appear. Actually, the probability of appearance may be 100%. This shop is really loved. On this day, it was quite cold, so there were quite a few customers in the afternoon. I could see some foreign customers as well. Here, you need to pay in cash before ordering. - Kinshishi Masamune Junmai Daiginjo Celebratory 3-year Aged Sake (90ml) 900 yen - Amazake (HOT) 600 yen The Daiginjo sake is delicious with a refreshing taste. The amazake can be enjoyed with ginger if you like. Both were warming for both the heart and body. Since it's a standing bar, the turnover seems to be fast. Thank you for the meal.

After walking from Higashiyama Station to see places like Chion-in and then taking a break at 336, a nice standing bar, near Kiyomizu-dera, it's time for a well-deserved rest. While they also have sake, a beer is the best reward after all that walking. I wanted something refreshing, so I ordered the Kyoto Machiya Wheat Beer. The carefully poured glass sparkled beautifully. Cheers! The crisp and refreshing taste really helps rejuvenate a tired body. It's a delicious beer. The atmosphere is stylish and Kyoto-like, making it a great place to enjoy a tasty beer during a stroll. It's such a bliss. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this shop again after touring Kiyomizu-dera and feeling like drinking sake. I ordered a tasting set (with fried wheat gluten) of 50ml x 3 for 1000 yen (tax included). You pay upfront after ordering. The first one was Yuki: Kinshishi Masamune Daiginjo, described as light and dry but I didn't find it too dry. Even people who don't like dry sake might find it easy to drink. The second one was Tsuki: Kinshishi Masamune Tokubetsu Junmai, quite rich and my favorite among the three. The last one was Hana: Kinshishi Masamune Junmai Daiginjo, fruity but left a bit of a weird aftertaste for me. The fried wheat gluten was softly sweet and served as a nice palate cleanser. Thank you for the meal!

It is written as 336 but pronounced as Sansaro♪ This is a craft beer and sake shop located near Kiyomizu-dera Temple! You can enjoy a drink with Kyoto's unique yuba tofu as a snack. It's a standing style shop where you can quickly stop by for a drink, and it's cash only. It's very popular among foreign tourists.

It's a bit early for cherry blossom viewing in Kyoto. I took a leisurely walk along the favorite walking course of Nao-kun, starting from Ginkaku-ji, Philosopher's Path, Eikan-do, Nanzen-ji, Yasaka Shrine, Nene-no-michi, and ending at Chawan-zaka. The final stop on this walking course is a place called 336 (Sansaro). It's a cozy spot located at a three-way intersection, where you can easily find your way. The atmosphere of the renovated old house is great, and I like that it's a standing bar with a good turnover. It's like, "I can't go home without having a drink here." I had fresh yuba for 500 yen and a glass of Shizuku Sake Junmai Daiginjo (90ml) for 800 yen. The Daiginjo was smooth and had a refreshing taste. They offer a selection of small cups to choose from, which is a nice touch. The fresh yuba is from Yuba Izumi, a yuba specialty shop in Kyoto. With a touch of wasabi, it was a perfect match with the sake. It's just a short walk to the bus stop. I'll take it easy on the drinks today. Bon appétit!

I came to Kyoto for cherry blossom viewing, but it started raining so I took shelter at a bar. The bar only had standing counters and also offered takeout options. I ordered a beer tasting set with Kölsch, Alt, and IPA to quench my thirst. Each glass was small at 140ml, perfect for refreshing my throat. I had some pickles left over, so I ordered a half serving of Kinzoku Masamune sake to accompany them. It was nice that they offered sake in smaller portions too. After satisfying my thirst, I headed to Kiyomizu-dera temple. Thank you for the meal.

Hello. I stopped by for a break while looking at pottery in Kyoto. The atmosphere of the store was nice, and it was run by female staff. They had a decent selection of sake, and the pottery was interesting. They even sold pottery inside the store, so I think people visiting Kyoto for sightseeing would enjoy it. I will definitely stop by again when I go to see pottery.

Wife and I went on a trip to Kyoto. We started our exploration at Kiyomizu Temple, and always stop by this place first. 13:40 Entered, placed order, and received drinks (two groups of four customers were already there. ※This is a standing-style bar) 13:45 Pickled vegetables arrived 13:50 Cheese arrived [Before moving on to the food review...] The standing-style, location, price range, and atmosphere are all perfect for starting a Kyoto trip with a little drink. ※We always drive to and from the nearest station during our Kyoto trips. It's just right to have a drink in the morning or afternoon. [Summary] Yuzu Sake "Yuzukaze" (on the rocks) A drink with a refreshing yuzu aroma that is not too sweet. The glass is surprisingly light. Assorted pickled vegetables An assortment of four types of pickled vegetables. Personally, I like the wasabi pickled yam the best because of its texture and flavor. (The others are also delicious) Miso-pickled cream cheese The creamy and rich taste of the cheese combined with the depth and sweetness of miso, creating a rich and flavorful sweet-salty taste. It is truly delicious. The crackers, miso, and sansho pepper for flavor variation are also good. [Details] Yuzu Sake "Yuzukaze" (on the rocks) 600 yen A drink with a high yuzu aroma, not too sweet, refreshing, and easy to drink without leaving a bad aftertaste. It's not about the drink, but the glass is hollow (it's hard to convey in words, but you really need to hold it once) and very light, without any condensation. I was surprised by this glass. Assorted pickled vegetables 600 yen Assortment of pickled yam with wasabi, spicy pickled burdock, pickled daikon with perilla and sesame, and pickled myoga (I'm not sure about this one). Pickled yam The crispy texture and strong wasabi flavor are very good. It's the most delicious among the four. Pickled burdock The texture is good, crunchy. The chili pepper's spiciness, different from wasabi, goes well with the drink. Pickled daikon I didn't know that perilla and daikon would go so well together. It's very refreshing and delicious. Myoga I'm personally not a big fan of myoga. Miso-pickled cream cheese 500 yen Five 20mm cubes of cream cheese, two crackers, and condiments of sansho pepper and miso are included. The cheese is very creamy, with a strong taste of richness and sweetness, combined with the richness and sweetness of miso, creating a rich and flavorful sweet-salty taste. Cheese and miso seem to go well together, perhaps because they are both fermented foods. Flavor variation with miso. When dipped in miso, it becomes sweeter, and when dipped in sansho pepper, it adds a tingling spiciness. Personally, I prefer the sansho pepper, but both are delicious. Eating with crackers adds a crispy texture and a different sweetness and saltiness than cheese and miso, making it even more delicious.

Located at a three-way intersection down the Chawan-zaka slope from Kiyomizu-dera Temple, "Kikizakejo 336" is a renovated townhouse turned into a casual drinking spot. I wonder who came up with the idea to open a place like this here. When you think of Kiyomizu-dera Temple, it's always bustling with crowds, especially with tourists and school groups. The atmosphere is so chaotic and overwhelming. Amidst all that, there's this stylish townhouse. I was wearing a kimono, feeling a bit out of place, and suddenly felt thirsty. I didn't want to go into a crowded café, so I decided to step inside. Surprisingly, they have chairs! I ordered an IPA craft beer, and my friend got an ale. It was delicious. They have a wide selection of drinks, and a tasting set for 1000 yen sounds like a great deal. But we had dinner reservations soon, so I just had one drink. Thank you for quenching my thirst! This place should definitely be featured in guidebooks. It's a precious oasis in the busy area near Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Thank you for a great experience.

It is a stylish standing bar located at the entrance of Chawan-zaka, heading towards Kiyomizu-dera Temple, where you can enjoy local sake even during the day. You can enjoy sake and Kyoto pickles while watching the school trip buses coming down the slope. Since it is a bar, they do not offer substantial meals, so keep that in mind. It is a bright bar where you can enjoy yourself in a healthy way during the day. They also serve craft beer. I would definitely like to visit for day drinking again!

This is a place with a great atmosphere and convenience, and I highly recommend stopping by when visiting Kyoto.

I visited on January 3rd! It's a great atmosphere at the restaurant, and I enjoyed delicious sake. The side dishes like fresh yuba were also tasty. I definitely want to come back!
