Kyoto Bigoli Main Store, located right outside Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway Karasuma Line and Hankyu Kyoto Line, is a must-visit for wine lovers! This restaurant offers a unique wine experience with a fixed-price all-you-can-drink plan featuring 100 different wines, including some rare selections. The options include a 30-minute plan for 1200 yen (1000 yen for first-timers), a 90-minute plan for 2900 yen, and an unlimited time plan for 3900 yen. You can extend your time by 30 minutes if you want to continue enjoying your drinks. The food menu consists of pasta, prosciutto, cheese, and nuts, and you can also bring your own food, making it a surprising and delightful dining experience.
For this particular visit, we opted for the unlimited time plan at 3900 yen, which includes a complimentary glass of draft beer or highball at the start. We ordered the Bolognese pasta, a specialty of the house made with fresh pasta and no additives. The pasta was generously topped with cheese and chunks of diced meat, providing a satisfying and flavorful meal. The table also had homemade garlic oil and spicy oil for flavor enhancement, which paired well with the wines. We also ordered some deliciously tender and flavorful prosciutto as an additional snack.
We enjoyed a variety of wines, including red, white, rosé, and sparkling options. Rather than filling up the glass, we tried different types in smaller quantities, which was a great way to explore different flavors. One recommended wine was the Belge Baron Rouge 2021, which had a great balance of flavor and aftertaste, making it a personal favorite.
What was intended to be a two-hour visit turned into a three-hour wine-tasting experience, during which we tried around nine different wines. The staff were friendly and engaging, creating a lively atmosphere for all guests. Overall, it was a fun and enjoyable time spent at Bigoli. Thank you for the wonderful dining experience.
