レコード酒場 ビートル momo
Kyoto - Shikonomachi, Kansai
Tucked down a narrow lane in Kyoto’s quietly charming Shikonomachi district, Record Sake Bar Beatles momo (レコード酒場 ビートル momo) feels like a secret kissa for music lovers who also appreciate a good pour; imagine a warm, low-lit room of polished wood, a compact counter, and shelves stacked with vinyl where classic Beatles tracks sit comfortably beside jazz, soul and carefully chosen Kansai pressings. The owner—part host, part curator—spins records with a connoisseur’s patience and pairs each listening moment with an approachable selection of sake, so conversations flow as naturally as the grooves on the turntable. It’s the kind of place locals slip into after a walk through old Kyoto streets: intimate enough to feel personal, lively enough for occasional themed nights, and forgiving of the traveler who wants to request a favorite tune. If you’re after an authentic, listening-focused evening that blends Japan’s reverence for craft alcohol with the tactile joy of vinyl, this tucked-away bar in Kyoto’s traditional neighborhood is a memorable stop.
