Sakagura Kujira
Enjoy sake and a pleasant buzz at this brewery-operated standing izakaya.
This izakaya is operated by Chiyo Shuzo, a brewery known for its junmai sake made with estate-grown Yamada Nishiki rice and spring water from Mt. Katsuragi. In addition to keeping its signature Kujira and Shinomine brands—including unpasteurized sake and seasonal hiyaoroshi—in stock, it offers a selection only a brewery-operated establishment can provide, such as doburoku and single-serving bottles of moromi sake.
With no chairs, this casual standing bar is easy to drop into and is reportedly popular with international travelers as well.
The food menu features more than 40 standard dishes that pair well with sake, along with a selection of daily recommendations. Each dish comes in a small portion at a reasonable price, making it easy to order several and share them with friends.
