Jizake

Jizake is a local izakaya in Kyoto that serves regional sake with sashimi, fried dishes, and anju. It sits a short distance from the Arashiyama tourist area and cooks dishes to order, including crab cream croquettes, assorted hoe, chicken leg gyoza, and grilled edamame. The bar stays open until 11 p.m. and has only a few tables, so reservations are recommended. One person does the cooking, so food comes out slowly.
