Story & Recommendation
Enjoy a drink at Sky Lounge KUU in Kyoto Tower and gaze at the beautiful night scenery of this old capital
Did you know there’s a lounge bar inside Kyoto Tower? Many people are pleasantly surprised when they notice that there’s a place at the tower where you can enjoy a glass of excellent Japanese whiskey or their famous Tower cocktail. The lounge bar can be accessed by taking the elevator up the 11th floor, and then changing to the high-rise   elevator and getting off on the 3rd floor of the observation deck. At night the lounge bar is illuminated by chic lighting and it becomes an elegant playground for adults.
1Recommended
Tower cocktail
Tower cocktail / ¥1,600 (Including tax)
This is the signature cocktail of KUU, and it’s made to look like Kyoto Tower. There is a red sugar rim on the cocktail, but as the cocktail contains lime juice, yogurt, and blue liqueur and is a bit sour, but the sugar makes the taste very pleasant.

Quiche
Quiche / ¥600 (Including tax)
If you feel a bit peckish at KUU, there’s probably no better choice than their quiche, a savory open tart which at KUU is a great choice to have with your glass of whiskey.

Assortment of three smoked foods
Assortment of three smoked foods / ¥1,100 (Including tax)
If you want something more, how about ordering this assortment of three different smoked foods? The balance of saltiness and smokiness is just great, and goes really well with the alcoholic beverages. *Note that the menu items and what they contain may change depending on the availability of the ingredients.
4Let's Try!
Whiskey
Whiskey / From ¥1,000 and up
Japanese whiskeys are one of the hottest things coming out of Japan right now, so of course, you can enjoy them at Sky Lounge KUU too. Not only Japanese whiskeys, but they also have a nice selection of Scotch, Irish, American, and Canadian whiskeys too.
