Kobayashi Saketen

Kobayashi Saketen is a stand bar in the Hanayanagi Koji shopping street in Shijo-Kawaramachi, Kyoto, selling sake, whisky, and gin. Customers choose from domestic craft gin, regional wine, and cocktails, then drink them on the spot, with sandwiches and simple snacks also served. It opened in December 2023 and runs both a liquor shop and an on-site tasting space. As a stand bar, the only seating is at the counter.
