September 15, 2023 open
Enjoying a glass of wine with a microphone in one hand, and tantalizing your taste buds with delicious food in the other. A space that fulfills such an adult's dream has opened near Hankyu Karasuma Station. Located on the basement floor of a building in the city, this is a sister restaurant of Budoshukudo, a wine bar in a back alley in the city that has captivated wine lovers.
When the elevator opens, Yoshiki Muneki, who has a background as a Japanese cuisine chef, greets you in the restaurant with its blue neon lights. [He and Mr. Kawaguchi, the owner of Budoshukudo, were classmates in high school and have shared many hardships since the establishment of the restaurant.
Like [Budoshukudo], this restaurant also features sake with Japanese food, and you can enjoy wine and other alcoholic beverages along with sushi, tempura, and bar food.
The owner, Mr. Kawaguchi, and many of the customers of the first restaurant were also karaoke lovers, so we were fortunate to be able to open this restaurant. It is a snack-like place where you can have a good meal. We hope it will be a space where people can enjoy themselves freely, whether they want to eat, sing, or drink wine," said So. True to his word, although it has only been open for a short time, it has already become a fun nightlife spot with many powerful and pleasant people visiting to eat, sing, and just enjoy the drinks.
It has the atmosphere of a Showa-era snack bar, but I think you will also feel a modern atmosphere. I hope we can enjoy being a place known only to those in the know. Come out for a night on the town to recharge your batteries for tomorrow.
