Tatsumi

Tatsumi is an old izakaya near Kawaramachi Station in Kyoto that runs both a standing area and seating. It serves snacks such as gyu-suji doteni and fried tomato, and the seasonal menu changes often. It opens at noon, with table seats and tatami seats in the back, and turnover is fast even when a line forms. Smoking is allowed indoors, which can be difficult for anyone sensitive to cigarette smoke.
