Unique Kimono Bottle Covers: Perfect Souvenirs from Kyoto

A few weeks ago, my mom and I visited Kiyomizu-dera in Kyoto and enjoyed a lovely stroll through the streets as we headed back to catch a bus to our hotel.

During our walk, we discovered many charming souvenir shops, and one in particular caught my eye: a shop selling kimono bottle covers. I had never heard of or seen anything like it before!

While I didn’t purchase one for myself, I thought these unique items would make perfect souvenirs for fellow Japan enthusiasts, wine lovers, or sake aficionados. Really, they could add a decorative touch to any bottle of spirits for special occasionsโ€”why not?

Although I don’t have the specific address of the shop I visited, kimono bottle covers can easily be found online. Here are a few great options for purchasing them:
