Torisei

Kyoto


A great spot to lunch on yakitori (chicken grilled on skewers) washed down with sake when visiting the sake breweries in Fushimi. It's run by the owner of the Yamamoto Honke sake brewery. Head straight up the street from the Gekkeikan Sake Ōkura Museum away from the canal, past the second street on the right and look for the sake barrels out the front.
