Todd Heughens

Amazing!!! So fun and delicious. Stood at the bar . Did the 7 sake tasting . Then, get a glass of your favorite. Sushi roll , grilled sweet peppers and grilled tomato and bacon were out of this world.

Vincent Tan

Small and cosy standing dining bar with good food and a friendly master (who worked 16 years in Nobu Milan) who speaks English

Carissa

Great local find with friendly staff . Order the chicken thigh with green onions (in sauce) and the sashimi plate . And if you’re in the mood, the same tasting is fun! We went twice!

Eugene Turner

Great little spot. The staff were great and the sake tasting was excellent. The garlic calamari was firmly in the “you can never add too much garlic ” camp and so delicious, but everything was good.

Eliza

Amazing sake tasting , delicious chicken skewers and grilled veggies ! Fun atmosphere , not expensive .

Nina Yiamsamatha

One of our favorite meals in Japan. Stand at the bar (no seats available) and watch them cook simple, delicious skewers . Order the sake flight and enjoy!

Gisela Cabral

One of the best meals we had in Kyoto! Everything was very fresh and well prepared...the chicken liver bbq and their sakes were to die for! Arigatou gozaimasu, chef Taka!

Super friendly , our favorite meal in Kyoto ! Cozy standing-bar, while you exchange niceties with the cooking team. Gave us complimentary champagne for our honeymoon! SAKE TASTING IS A MUST! =)

Best meal in Japan. Great experience eating at the bar . We had the tuna sashimi , steak tataki, lotus root tempura , shiitake mushrooms and the mackerel . Love this place.

Small stand bar with delicious food (we tried the chicken skewers and calamari with garlic ) but also a super friendly attention. Fantastic for a cool down stop after a long day walking trough the city

Max Nefyodov

Super small and difficult to get into - but totally worth it. They cook at the bar counter in front of you. Fantastic grilled vegies

Ares Le

A small, standing only restaurant BUT the food, atmosphere and staff are amazing. Going to stop there because you MUST experience and try this spot.

The undisputed culinary highlight of two trips to Kyoto. Downstairs is a buzzing dive bar ; reservations are taken for the upstairs dining room if you ask nicely

Great local spot , standing room only, come here in the afternoon for a snack .

Must try stand-up izakaya . I enjoyed all their dishes here. Rice with raw egg is a highlight!

Some of the best food I've had on the trip. I would skip the sake tasting and just get a good sake .

Nice place to pop in when you feel like having something economic but good!!

Stumbled onto this place being too early for a dinner reservation, great refreshing drinks. Do yourself a favor and get pomegranate or banana where they crush the fruit up into the drink, fantastic. - Matt Benton

Apart from the awesome store itself, make sure you use their toilet! Intense, intimidating and super clean. Bring the kids along. Many places to put them safely & tons of buttons to press ????⛲️ - Stéphanie
