👍👍 I had an absolute blast at this bar while I was visiting Kyoto. The atmosphere is great for a 20s-30s crowd, the bartenders were a joy to talk to, and the owner Yoshi was extremely welcoming and speaks excellent English.

We opted for the 6 portion menu where you get to select from 17 dishes available at the bench. The spicy kimchi chicken and Mackerel were delicious. Be sure to order rice to come wit...

👍👍 You can enjoy whiskey from the 1970s in good condition. It's even more reasonable. Today I celebrated my birthday by myself. As we move forward, we listen to some fun stories from the master. I caught my eye for a hamburger at a late hour and ordered a hamburger from Amazing. I received half of it a...

Hachiyoshi
Kyoto style Japanese restaurant
👍👍 The restaurant closes relatively late at 3pm for lunch, so it's a great value to be able to enjoy delicious tofu and Kyoto cuisine in this price range. There's a parking lot right in front of you, so it's a good idea to park there. There is no record book or number tag when lining up, so you can't...
