About

Kamanza is a traditional Kyoto izakaya with an extensive menu of small plates, grilled dishes and drinks; the venue’s HappyCow listing notes tofu, noodles and wheat protein among its vegan possibilities. Reviews praise fresh-cooked tempura and a special chili tofu, but the menu includes meat, seafood and egg, so check ingredients and preparation for each order; one group reported long waits for later dishes.
