A charming izakaya renovated from a traditional Kyoto townhouse. They offer all-you-can-drink sake from selected breweries across the country, including rare and delicious options not commonly found elsewhere. The dishes are all perfect for pairing with sake, enhancing the drinking experience. Despite the young staff, they are knowledgeable about sake and provide excellent service, creating a welcoming atmosphere. This was my first visit, recommended by an acquaintance, and I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy sake in Kyoto!

Today, we came to Kyoto to visit our son. For dinner on the first day, we left it up to him, and he chose to meet at this restaurant. Due to a soccer TV broadcast, the start time was 9:00 PM, and it was already dark outside. The restaurant is located one street away from the business district, with dim lighting and a stylish izakaya exterior, not a place for tourists. The three of us were seated at a table on the first floor, where we could take off our shoes and relax. In the back, there were about 5-6 customers who seemed to be office workers, already having a good time. The interior featured wooden flooring, tables, chairs, and dim lighting, creating a calm atmosphere. The previous customers were not noisy, but rather enjoying work-related conversations. The staff, mainly a young male waiter, served us well, despite not having a direct connection with our son. The food, as shown in the photos, was mostly chosen by our son and consisted of izakaya staples like potato salad, fried chicken, and pizza. Each dish had a unique twist, with the potato salad standing out for its smoky cheese flavor. The large portion of fried chicken was satisfying and highly recommended. There were no disappointments in the food selection. Additionally, we were presented with four bottles of sake in a one-liter size, each with its own characteristics explained, allowing us to enjoy a cup of each. Our son, who never used to choose sake at home, seemed to be exploring the variety available in Kyoto, known for its sake breweries. Starting a new chapter as a working adult in an unfamiliar place during the COVID-19 pandemic made us worry about his adaptation to the company and location. However, finding out that he frequents such local, mature establishments with his colleagues gave us peace of mind. The customers at the table in the back seemed to be from the same company, although he mentioned not knowing them personally. It turns out this restaurant is favored by executives from a long-established Kyoto manufacturer. While we could sense his steady growth as a professional, we couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and disappointment at having dinner as a family of three, reminiscing on the time when Papa got a job in Tokyo and we dined together with grandparents and Mama before our son's marriage.

It was the best restaurant. Every dish was carefully prepared and delicious! And yet, it was so affordable! I also enjoyed a special Japanese sake that I chose myself. It was a fantastic night. I've never wanted to recommend a place to people so much before! I will definitely go back when I come to Kyoto!

Recommended by a friend who graduated from Ritsumeikan University, I stopped by this place in Kyoto on my way back from Kurama after avoiding the crowds at the end of the autumn leaves season. I was guided to the second floor seating area. The space was quite large, with about 16 tatami mats and four tables spaced out generously. I couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy, thinking that there would have been a year-end party held here if it weren't for the impact of the new coronavirus. I had heard that they had a great selection of Japanese sake, so I asked for recommendations. They brought out four different bottles for me to choose from, and I ended up selecting "Shuhari" by Matsumoto Shuzo in Kyoto for my drink. It's a sake that appreciates everyone for their hard work, even in a year where year-end parties can't be held. It had a light cloudiness and a gentle rice flavor that suited my palate. For the appetizer, I had a platter of three kinds of obanzai dishes. They were all delicious, but I particularly liked the plum-flavored nagaimo, which was very elegant and refined! I wish they would share the recipe... (laughs). I ordered various dishes a la carte, but since it was busy on a Sunday, they apologized for the slight wait. I reassured them that I was fine since I was enjoying my drink slowly. In reality, I didn't have to wait long, as they brought out another dish while I was eating the previous one. I am grateful to the hardworking kitchen staff. All the dishes were delicious, but I'll highlight some below. - Salad with prosciutto and yuba in white miso sauce: The gentle richness of the white miso makes it easy to eat! - Mackerel grilled with saikyo miso: The flesh is fluffy! This goes perfectly with sake. - Dry curry: This was recommended by the friend who recommended this restaurant. The balance between the sweetness of the vegetables and the spices is exquisite. I would love to come back and try more dishes and sake. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

A reasonably priced restaurant with a traditional Japanese house atmosphere. The fried chicken, which I was curious about, was more like fried chicken, but it was soft, moist, and had a good portion. The sweet potato was sweet and fluffy.

The deliciousness of the stable fried chicken! And we finished it off with cute gold and silver bear characters' alcohol.

I was able to taste some sake that I usually can't handle, and the dishes made with Kyoto ingredients were delicious with an extra touch. The staff were friendly, and I had a cozy and heartwarming time at the restaurant.

The dry curry was delicious! It was a hidden gem and I really enjoyed it.

Fried chicken is delicious! Potato salad is delicious! Sashimi is delicious! Alcohol is delicious! I'm happy to be able to choose my own sake cup!

They serve delicious fried chicken and offer sake that goes well with their dishes. This hidden gem is located on Matsubara Street away from the noisy city.

There are many types of sake in Japan, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is calm, and the menu is creative. The interior of the restaurant is quiet and the architecture is unique, making it a great place to relax.

I was able to relax in a traditional Japanese house room. You can enjoy various types of sake.
