Izakaya in Kiyamachi with a wide selection of snacks and drinks [Kyo-machiya Obanzai Komaku]

Kyo-machiya Obanzai Kobaku (Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto) stands on a side street connecting Kiyamachi-dori and Kawaramachi-dori. Now in its eighth year, this popular izakaya is crowded every night with regular customers and tourists.

Obanzai: Cuisine of Kohaku

Five kinds of obanzai (side dishes) for 1,590 yen. On this day, ume (plum) crystals with shark cartilage and ume (plum) meat, and potato salad with duck meat make a perfect entrée. Sake from 490 yen and up is available by the glass or tokkuri.

If you are lost in the abundance of dishes on the menu, we recommend ordering three or five kinds of "obanzai" (side dishes) to start with. The contents change daily, and dishes using seasonal Kyoto vegetables such as Manganji peppercorns and Kujo leeks are available. The dishes are prepared with Udeno's additive-free, high-quality broth, which is a special order of Rishiri kelp and Makurazaki-grown dried bonito flakes in the restaurant's proprietary blend. You can feel the flavor of the broth, which is indispensable for obanzai.

Yakishabu Yukke (grilled pork shabu): 1,390 yen. Brand-name pork, Takatamba Kogen Pork, is used, with special care given to its feeding and other aspects of its environment. The meat has no odor and is soft and tender even after being cooked. The seasoning is not too spicy and easy to eat.

Other dishes include the Tamamaru Mapo (fried bean curd with whole onions), the Kyotanba Kogen Pork Grilled Shabu Yukke, and the dashi chazuke, a dish made from freshly shaved bonito flakes that is full of flavor. The lineup of locally brewed sake from Fushimi to Tango is also excellent. The restaurant, housed in an atmospheric 100-year-old machiya (Kyoto townhouse), offers counter seats, private rooms, and spacious tatami room seating, making it a delightful and user-friendly place to eat.
