All the dishes were incredibly delicious without any exaggeration! I made a reservation and visited [Charcoal Grill Kazuya] in Kawaramachi, Kyoto, but when I arrived, the place was already full and customers kept coming in non-stop, showing how popular this restaurant is. It's no wonder, as they have been in business for 12 years and their charcoal-grilled dishes are amazing. After quenching my thirst with a highball, I ordered a la carte dishes, including grilled vegetables platter for 1980 yen, straw-grilled mackerel for 1980 yen, eel kabayaki with wasabi for 2980 yen, thick mushrooms with grated negi and ponzu for 680 yen, pregnant shishamo for 650 yen, and smoked herring potato salad with smoked egg for 720 yen. The grilled vegetables were perfectly cooked, with the eggplant being soft, tomatoes juicy, and onions and shishito peppers bringing out the flavors of the ingredients. The edamame was dangerously good with alcohol, and the miso seasoning did wonders. The straw-grilled mackerel was fatty and delicious, the eel kabayaki was a big piece cooked slowly to perfection, and the mushrooms were thick and paired well with the negi and ponzu sauce. The shishamo was a classic snack for drinking, and the potato salad had a crunchy texture from the smoked herring and a creamy texture from the smoked egg. Each dish was quite filling, and everything was truly delicious. The set courses are also reasonably priced, making it easier to enjoy the recommended dishes from the restaurant. They cater to various occasions from dates to parties, making it a versatile and convenient choice for many customers. I highly recommend this place, so be sure to check it out! It was a truly delightful dining experience. @k_kazukun Gourmet information updated daily mainly in the Kansai region! Follow for helpful tips on choosing restaurants!

However, there were many dishes that would go well with alcohol, so I look forward to visiting again next time.

Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was nice, and the staff were friendly, so I would like to visit again!

The staff provided pleasant customer service and we had a great time in a calm atmosphere. I had mistakenly thought it was a yakitori restaurant based on a quick look at Tabelog, but it turned out to be a fish and charcoal grill restaurant. We ordered a variety of dishes from sashimi, to grilled vegetables over charcoal, and everything was delicious. Personally, I would have been happier with a greater variety of drinks. I would love to visit again.

It was a bit difficult to find the restaurant as it was located in a somewhat hidden alley. However, once inside, I was pleased with the clean and cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and easy to talk to, making my experience enjoyable. The food was delicious and made good use of fresh ingredients. I have already recommended this place to my colleagues. It's a restaurant I will definitely visit again.

I found a great restaurant that was open late at night when I was having trouble finding a place to eat because I eat dinner late. The menu had a variety of seafood, fried foods, and vegetables. I ordered squid sashimi which was delicious and chewy. The service was excellent, with quick drink refills and prompt plate clearing. They had good whiskey selections like Hakushu and Yamazaki for highballs. They are open until 3 am, which is very convenient. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for the first time and had a very enjoyable time. I was surprised by the deliciousness of the vegetables, fish, and meat grilled over charcoal. The alcohol also went down easily.

Thank you very much.

I visited this restaurant a few years ago and it was my first time back in a while. The food is still delicious as always, and the staff are friendly and engaging. In many ways, it's a safe and reliable restaurant.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice and the staff are very friendly! The building is stylish and the interior is very clean. The sashimi is delicious, but there are also many other menu options which is great! A unique feature is their commitment to charcoal grilling, so if you think it's just seared, be sure to try it! Overall, the menu is extensive and all the dishes were very tasty. In particular, the sashimi was fresh and delicious. The prices are a bit high, but it's not a big concern given the quality.

The potato salad was delicious.
