Sama Sama, Kyoto

A cave does not have to be dark. See for yourself at one of the friendliest bars in Kyoto. Sama Sama is also one of the city's few foreign-owned businesses too. No English menu available here, but the owner speaks good English. Sit on large cushions at one of the beautiful low wooden tables or those with arthritis, at the counter, to sample from a variety of intriguing drinks, many from the equatorial region. Here you will encounter all manner of cocktails, draft beers and that delightful Bintang (Star) beer from Indonesia. Be careful with the Special Cocktail—it creeps up on you. On the food menu, there are a number of popular Indonesian dishes: Mee Goreng and Nasi Goreng among others. Opens at 6p.
