SAKEBARO
KYOTO

SAKEBARO
HIGASHIYAMA, KYOTO

Scheduled to open in January 2025, this quiet retreat is tucked away just a short distance from the scenic stone-paved streets and cascading willows along Shirakawa in Higashiyama.

Rest your arm on a gold-leaf counter, gaze at the rain cascading before you, and savor the quiet notes of Japanese sake as the gentle sound of drizzle fills the air. Upstairs, in a room stripped of color, everything is immersed in monochrome, where the glow of lanterns and the stillness envelop visitors in serenity. Here, a futuristic vision of Zen is pared down to its essence.
