The Roots of all evil is a bar in the basement food court of Kyoto Tower in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, where bartenders make craft gin cocktails. Its signature drinks include the Botanical Garden cocktail and the Roots cocktail, which use burdock, beet, ginger flower, and mushroom. A tasting option lets you try small amounts of several gins, and if you state your preference the bartender lets you smell the aromas while choosing. Even people unfamiliar with gin can enjoy the bar while listening to the bartender's explanations.
