First thing I want to say is that this is the most absolutely superb place to visit if you wish to sample sake.
Kokoromi is situated under the shinkansen lines at Himeji station, south east side.

2018 travel retrospective
My how 2018 has flown by.
I was lucky enough to start 2018 with a short break in Singapore before returning home in the new year.
Drinking in Singapore can be a very expensive pastime if you don’t know the rules:
- Go to restaurants that aren’t targeted at tourists or expats – you can still get a long neck of Tiger for around SG$7
- Drink during happy hour(s) – or more precisely, don’t drink during the couple of hours after the business day finishes when it’s not happy hour. Happy hours are predominantly 2-for-1, so beer is essentially half price
- Steer clear of hotel bars
BEER PUB Takumiya, Kyoto, Japan
BEER PUB Takumiya is a place you MUST go to.
It was my final night in Kyoto and I was looking for a good feed and better beer. Luckily I’d found mention of a great little gastropub about 10 minutes walk away.

I’d spent the morning doing a bit of sightseeing. First heading out to Fushimi Inari Taisha where I trudged up the mountain (I didn’t make it to the top) along with hoards of other people.
I then headed back to Kyoto station heading up Kyoto Tower for a bit of gander at the Kyoto area on high before finding somewhere for lunch.
