Kuishimbo

Kuishimbo is a family-run izakaya in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, serving domi sashimi, mixed tempura, rolled omelette, and beef tongue with draft beer and sake. The sashimi is firm without a fishy smell, and the menu also includes sweet potato tempura and Jeolla-style kimchi. The male owner speaks English, Korean, and Chinese, marks Kyoto travel spots on a map for guests, and sometimes gives away photos he took himself or postcards. The owner and his mother greet customers together at this family restaurant.
