WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
A family-run dining institution with more than 60 years of history since its founding in 1964, beloved by Kyoto connoisseurs as a discreet haunt long frequented by film industry professionals from Toei and Shochiku studios.
1964年創業、60年以上の歴史を誇る家族経営の老舗居酒屋。
Selected for the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2018, 2020, 2023, 2024, and 2025, the restaurant delivers Kyoto cuisine at a level rivaling formal ryotei and kappo restaurants — all for around 5,000 to 5,999 yen at dinner.
ミシュランビブグルマンに2018・2020・2023・2024・2025年と複数年にわたって選出され続け、東映・松竹の映画関係者が足繁く通う隠れ家的存在として京都の食通に愛されてきた。
Despite its prime location just steps from JR Saga-Arashiyama Station, the restaurant closes on Sundays, accepts cash only, and posts no prices — a statement of principle that speaks louder than any accolade.
ディナー5,000円台で料亭・割烹に匹敵するレベルの京料理が楽しめるという圧倒的なコストパフォーマンスを誇りながら、JR嵯峨嵐山駅前という立地にもかかわらず日曜定休・現金のみ・価格表記なしというスタイルを貫く姿勢に、この店の矜持が凝縮されている。

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedA local izakaya since 1964, right by JR Sagaarashiyama Station yet not tourist-oriented. Michelin Bib Gourmand consecutively from 2018 to 2025. At around ¥5,000, you get kappo-quality cuisine at izakaya prices. A favorite of Toei and Shochiku film studio staff.
Michelin Bib Gourmand 2018-2025 consecutively. Tabelog 3.59 (65 reviews). Multiple reviewers call it 'kappo or ryotei level.' Reservations essential.
