Looking to do a sake tasting, but seems a lot of places are shut today and tomorrow (Sunday and Monday).
Does anyone have recommendations for places that are good that will be open? Could be a brewery or a bar, ideal scenario would be if we can get a flight of sakes to try, so I can really get my snout and gob around the different styles to understand them, but a guided tasting would also be good.
Staying in the Higashiyama area but happy to travel for somewhere good

I’ve had good experiences at [Nishikawa](https://nishikawa-kawaramachigojo.owst.jp/), close to Kiyomizu-Gojo Station. They have a pretty decent sake selection, and you can choose any 3 from the menu to try in a flight.
I’m not sure about their English ability, but if you speak Japanese, the staff has always been able to help with recommendations and answer any questions I had.
Did you search around Fushimi?

I haven’t have a chance yet, but I’d try Asano Nihonshu ten.
