Hashiya and Nakase, which has many fans for its creative cuisine, opened its second restaurant. The concept of this standing bar, which was the long-cherished wish of the owners, Hashiya and Nakase, who love to drink, is exactly what it sounds like: a place for drinkers by drinkers. Although it is a cozy space, there is a charcoal grill, and the restaurant's specialties are dishes that make use of charcoal, such as primal grilling and straw grilling. Portions are small, so even if you come alone, you can enjoy a variety of dishes.

Owner Natsuko Ikeguchi opened the restaurant inspired by Parisian bistros and cafes, saying, "I like French culture that values old things. For her menu, including charcoal-grilled dishes, Ikeguchi uses only ingredients that she is satisfied with, such as fresh chickens she insists on pulling in the morning and organic vegetables from One Drop, a grocer she has trusted for many years. The dishes are prepared by Oshima, the chef of the restaurant, who has studied the cooking techniques to bring out the full flavor of the ingredients.

The "meat man" is Mr. Ohira, the owner of the restaurant, who loves meat more than anyone else. Mr. Ohira, a meat professional who has run a butcher store and a popular yakiniku restaurant in Kyoto, opened this restaurant as his "ultimate goal. He has been a connoisseur of meat for 30 years and selects a wide range of truly delicious meats without sticking to any particular brand of beef.

Sake bottles displayed to the ceiling make a big impact. The exposed beams are also impressive, giving the restaurant the feel of a building from the Taisho period. The cuisine is prepared by Masaru Nakabayashi, a Japanese chef with over 30 years of experience in Kyoto. He is conscious of adding his own unique twist to his dishes, which are prepared using seasonal ingredients purchased from markets in Kyoto and Osaka, as well as matching them with alcoholic beverages. He offers dishes based on Japanese cuisine, but with a twist.

Four restaurants are currently operating at this facility, and six more are scheduled to open eventually, including a highball bar in late June.
We recommend that you enjoy the atmosphere of the historic building while trying out the different restaurants. Visit Yuasa Kaikan, where you can enjoy yourself from morning to night.
