About

Gyatei pairs Kyoto obanzai with a compact selection of clearly marked vegan onigiri, including spicy soy, green onion miso, and burdock. Most diners come for the seasonal 12-dish lunch set, served in a spacious second-floor dining room; the onigiri are convenient for takeout but reviewers note they’re small for the price.
