Kyoto, Japan｜Nomidoraku

It is the best izakaya in the area. We went here randomly for a beer but ended up ordering 5 dishes because the food was so good. The owner was super kind and an amazing chef as well. Five star overall.

We both had the Tomkatsu set meal and it was delicious. Also had the grilled eggplant / aubergine and a couple of beers each. Less than 2,000 each without the beer. 5,500 total with the 4 beers I mentioned. Friendly gentleman doing all the cooking and everything. Google lens/translate is very helpful as I only know a few Japanese words!! Highly recommended. Enjoy!!

Stumbled upon this tiny place at night. Once we opened the door we were welcomed with smiles, from the owner and the customers who were already there. The owner knows little English but is extremely friendly. We asked for his recommendation and the food was delicious. The grilled eggplant with miso sauce was amazing.
