祇園下河原 おりじん（Wine bar Origin）

Wine bar Origin sits in a narrow alley in Gion, Kyoto. It serves tomato pasta, ragu, carpaccio, crab croquettes, and wagyu katsu, along with a wide selection of wine. The owner cooks the food behind the bar, drawing on a background in French restaurants, and plays jazz. Because it is set back in the narrow alley, it is hard to find the first time.
