A Kyoto night,
a cup by moonlight.

An intimate evening for sake lovers.

A hidden sake bar tucked deep in a Gion alley. Kyoto small plates, paired with a carefully chosen pour.

Our specialties

A Night at GEKKO

月光の夜

  1. Sake bottles lined up along the back of the counter

    A glass you will only find here

    Local sake chosen from breweries across Kyoto, always on the shelf. Fragrant and delicate, or bone dry — tell us what you like, and we will choose them with you, one glass at a time.

  2. A bowl of Uji green tea soba with a plate of jamón, cheese and grilled bread

    Small plates made for the sake

    Fragrant green tea soba from Uji, matcha dango under black sugar syrup for dessert, and more. Every plate draws on Kyoto ingredients, and is made to sit beside a glass.

  3. The fourth-floor counter in Gion

    A hideaway four floors above Gion

    Four floors above the street, the hours run slower. We are happy to guide you in English.
