Kyoto, Japan｜New Takoyakushi

Very nice atmosphere, the staff is cheerful and helpful, we really enjoyed grabbing some food and having some drinks. Went back twice, as we enjoyed the lively atmosphere when everything was silent, can recommend this place!

The hostel staff recommended it, so I visited for a drink alone. This is a place where onegaishimasu is commonly used to indicate entry/exit in Japanese movies and dramas. I was worried because there is no tax on the food and it is mainly for locals, but when I asked for a menu recommendation through the Agoda app, they gave me a menu with pictures. I translated it on the app and ordered highball sake, etc. The overall review is not bad. It's natural and okay to eat alone, but smoking is allowed indoors, so I think you should just keep that in mind.

I went there because it was close to my accommodation, and the new and fresh food was really good. You can hear some conversation and it has a friendly atmosphere. All the staff are friendly too. There was a person who could speak a little Korean, and she was really cute and pretty, so I wanted to become friends with her. It's a shame. I wasn't able to eat the various menu items because I was full, but next time I go, I will definitely try the famous potato salad.
