Kyoto, Japan｜Tsujiya Umekoji Kita

Amazing yakitori restaurant, specializing in grilled/fried/broiled chicken taking advantage from neck to cartilage, served on sticks. Flavours vary from the choices and you can always dip them on their sauces. The meatball on stick and the duck were amazing! Dessert was some sort of pudding-ice cream, very tasty but small. The service was very helpful with our limited English and recommendations were on the spot! The atmosphere was amazing, you can feel as on a local food spot from the beginning, the decorations were outstanding from traditional to anime styled.

Great place for the five of us, right up near the grill to see all the action . Staff were great with our limited Japanese and the food was sensational. They got very busy quickly so I wish we had ordered more food at the start as it took a while to order a second time . Highly recommended

Highly hospitable, swift and quality dining experience including for families. Glad we chanced upon it on the way back to our hotel. A yakitori gem in Kyoto.
