About

This Kyoto izakaya centers on farmer-to-table vegetables, including assorted pickles, and serves small plates alongside meat and seafood. Chefs cook at the counter, while a multi-dish lunch with clay-pot rice has been praised; vegan diners may need to request a custom dish and confirm ingredients, since dashi has appeared in the vegetarian course.
