    Everything was AMAZING!!! The food is considerably cheap and SUPER DELICIOUS. OISHIII!!!!! What makes me love this izakaya more was the warmth and kindness offered by the owner couple. We really had a good talks and they gave me a free Nagasaki cake, which also super delicious. I’ll give you 10 stars!

    A hidden izakaya near Uenobashi Bridge over the Katsuragawa River in Kyoto

    The general in charge of the boardwalk is smiling.
    In the kitchen, the landlady is in charge of cooking using fire.

    First, a bottle of Akahoshi (bottled beer)

    When the general manager is a one-person operation, he may disappear from sight as he goes back and forth between the restaurant and the kitchen, and there are times when orders are concentrated in either the restaurant or the kitchen, so it may take a while for the food to be served.

    The way I enjoy it is understanding the store's circumstances, checking the order status in the store, and thinking about what I want to eat while drinking beer.

    The restaurant's best selling point is dishes made with fresh seasonal seafood from Maizuru and Kyoto Central Markets.

    And the master chef's skilled actions as he prepares and arranges the fish right in front of you.

    I wonder if there are some customers who come here just because they want to see this.

    Drink the recommended sake when you are served exquisite sashimi

    Sake is a great value at 500 yen and up, and you'll be happy with the pouring, or rather overflowing, pouring.

    I have plenty of room for 1 cup. I don't know.

    Both the fish and sake are constantly changing to new menus, so every time I go, I can find fish that I've eaten before, or new alcohol.

    You can finish it off with sushi, or you can finish it off with red soup stock.

    When I paid the bill, I was often surprised to find out it was cheaper than I expected.

    Prices have gone up due to the recent economic situation, but it's still cheap, and I'm grateful for the restaurant's deliciousness.

    I'm very happy to be able to enjoy authentic creative cuisine so close to home.
    The kind and interesting personalities of the owner and landlady really shine through.
    Both the food and the drinks are extremely delicious.
    I look forward to visiting again in the future.

    It's about a 10 minute walk from my house.
    Last week I went to a store that I had been interested in for a while.
    I couldn't go privately, so I was finally able to go today.
    It's a counter only restaurant, but it's busy and by 6:30 it was almost full! ️
    I think it's reasonable
    Everything was delicious~
    Tuna sashimi, 2 pieces of red shellfish nigiri, 4 pieces of eel nigiri, milt tempura, fried white shrimp, lower leg tempura, raw oyster (it's huge) dashimaki
    Baigai, 2 draft beers, a medium bottle of beer, a glass of sake (one go is light), a glass of blue water

    The total cost was 7500 yen.
    It's cheap, isn't it?

    Apparently his wife is from Okinawa, so there was a sanshin there.

    The food is very delicious and reasonably priced. You can spend a wonderful time in a relaxing space with the smile of the owner and the talk of his wife.
