2. Try must-try sweets in the famous sake brewery of “Fushimi”  (8 June 2026)

When you think of Fushimi in Kyoto, you might picture it as Japan’s leading sake-producing region. However, the sweets and desserts here are equally delightful! Today, we’ll introduce two must-visit shops when you come to Fushimi ♪

Fushimi Yume Hyakushu Cafe (伏見夢百衆)

“Yume Hyakushu” is a café that features sake from 17 different breweries in one location. You can sample various sake, making it perfect for those who want to compare different flavors. The café also boasts a spacious interior within a classic Taisho-style building. Here, you can enjoy financiers made from sake lees, sake buns, and vanilla ice cream topped with Japanese sake! It’s a cozy atmosphere that’s popular with locals.

Fushimikagura Honten (伏水菓蔵本店)

If you’re feeling tired after touring sake breweries or strolling around the area, why not indulge in something sweet? Try the chewy and sticky dango at this shop! Their popular Mitarashi dango is coated in a sweet and savory sauce, with Fushimi-produced sake as a secret ingredient, resulting in an exceptionally rich flavor. They also highly recommend their classic red bean paste dango, which features an adorable red bean topping.

6. Try Tamago Kake Gohan at the famous restaurant in Nara! (29 June 2026)

If you’re near Kintetsu Nara Station, you’ve got to check out “Kirameki no Tamago (煌めきの卵).” They specialize in raw egg rice bowls, a beloved dish in Japan ‘Tamago Kake Gohan’!

Now, their Tamago Kake Gohan is something special way different from the simpler versions you might find back home. They use top-quality eggs from Oita Prefecture, which give the yolks a rich and firm texture. Plus, the egg white is whipped into the softest, fluffiest foam that just melts over the hot rice.
