Kyoto Yukimi Sake – The Quiet Elegance of Jizake Beneath Falling Snow

A winter evening in Kyoto — snowflakes drift through the temple path as maiko walk under wagasa umbrellas, their footsteps echoing softly.

This is Yukimi Sake (雪見酒) — the art of savoring local jizake while watching snow fall in silence.

Each sip reflects Kyoto’s refined spirit: purity of water, calmness of mind, and the fleeting beauty of the season.
