Kyoto, Japan｜Ashioto

Have wanted to come to this restaurant for a long time. It really met my expectations. Good atmosphere and nice decor. Ate their lunch menu which was delicious. Many well thought out dishes with a perfect combination of ingredients. All in top quality. The staff were really helpful and nice. Thank you so much.

We loved our time there. The food was amazing, we got the zucchini salad it was amazing and the seafood rice. The waiter was so helpful to help us order. One of our best eats in Kyoto.

Highly recommend checking out this delicious and very cool vegetable-focused Izakaya in Kyoto! We stumbled upon Ashioto since we stayed nearby (in the also wonderful Muromachi Yutone ryokan). This restaurant does incredibly innovative things with vegetables, fish, and meat, with a focus on vegetables. We loved the fried bonito, the sautéed mushrooms, the yam kimchi, and the broccoli caesar interpretation. Also the yuzu and lemongrass sours were delicious. The staff was so friendly and fun, and the aesthetic in there was very modern and inviting! This was one of our favorite meals of the trip, and highly recommend it if you’re in Kyoto!
