SOMEWHERE Appearance

Aromatic gin and rum at SOMEWHERE, a bar on the east side of the Imperial Palace.

July 7, 2024 open

SOMEWHERE (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) has moved from the Takano River in Sakyo-ku to a location just east of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The store, which quietly opened on the second floor of a small building in the city, fits the image of "another special place in the midst of everyday life" that is contained in the store name. The owner, Mr. Tamura, who has a long career as a space designer, has a keen sense of style in the stylish objects with animal motifs and the music that plays inside the store.

SOMEWHERE Cuisine

Seasonal Fruit Salad 1,200 yen. A simple dressing enhances the acidity and sweetness of four to five seasonal fruits in this dish.

After the relocation, the menu focuses on alcoholic beverages, and many people use the restaurant as a bar before or after a meal. The menu features seasonal fruit-themed snacks such as grilled pork and kumquat with mustard and lime-marinated pears, perfect for after dinner.

SOMEWHERE Cuisine

Original cardamom-blended gin and tonic: 900 yen. A refreshing cardamom center and a variety of herbs, including lemongrass, are uniquely blended to create a refreshing taste that goes well with all kinds of food.

The restaurant specializes in gin with its distinctive botanical flavor and mellow rum with a touch of sweetness, and you may even come across some rare types of alcohol. The large windows make the hustle and bustle of Marutamachi Dori seem otherworldly, and the restaurant is the perfect place to take a breather at the end of the day.
