Azasino — Restaurant in Kyoto

Came to this restaurant specially after reading good reviews and we were not disappointed. It's just around the corner from Nison-ji Temple. Welcoming look from outside. Inside, there were normal tables for four. We had the privilege of sitting at the tatami table for four, although we had numb legs at the end of the meal. Hahaha! We tried the conger eel, tempura vegetables and buta don with cold udon. They were really crispy, tasty and of good price. Ended the meal with ice coffee. It had strong roast and refreshing on a hot day. It was quite full but there was no queue as some people just left when there were no tables available. Service was efficient but you would need to wait for the food to be prepared.

I highly recommend this restaurant if you walk up to this point from the...

I went on a two week trip with a bunch of friends. I have a few memories that will last forever, but the one I won't shut up about is the transcendent bowl of udon I ate here.

I don't know if I will ever be back in Japan, but if I am, I will do whatever it takes in a day to make it back to this location to once again order the Nabeyaki Udon! I am forever changed as a person.

10/10 would go back, would recommend to a friend. Would send one to truly learn about themselves by eating here, cannot recommend...

Simple, heart warming meal. Cooked and served by women who looks like they can be your mom or grandma. Decor is very homey and their meal set has a lot of elements to it but I didn't feel bloated or heavy. We ate late lunch here so there was no line. After the meal it's a 10-15 min walk to the arayashima bamboo forest. The walk was peaceful and not crowded at all, paths are shaded and we went through countryside, passed local street side stores more often not manned and locals use honesty system. Recommend this place to...
