Kuruya is an Izakaya bar in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Izakaya is a Japanese afterwork restaurant where food and saké is served and usually paired together in a casual atmosphere. Our food is made with the best of the seasons from small, local producers, our chef Pearly’s garden and we also serve sustainable seafood. Viktor and Shohei have good knowledge of the saké they serve and are glad to answer any questions you might have about Japan’s National Beverage.
Itadakimasu!
Saké - Nihonshu
Saké or Nihonshu is Japanese rice brew. Saké is not considered a spirit but does contain 13-17% alcohol.
It is gluten free and contains no preservatives.
We encourage you to discover Japanese sake. Here are a few we love!

One of our favourites from Chiba. Unpasteurized sake. Brilliant honey dew mellon in both smell and taste.

Chikurin

A classic style of sake of very good quality with intense flavours of minerals and mushrooms. Served cold as well as warm (50°C).

Kamoizumi
Yamabuki
Aged in open steel tanks for 3 years. It has a complex earthy flavour of shiitake mushroom and walnuts.
