Welcome to **Kyogoku Stand**, a cherished izakaya nestled in Kyoto's vibrant Nakagyo Ward. Established in 1927, this small eatery exudes old-world charm with its Showa-era decor, including a nostalgic marble counter and vintage beer posters. Visitors rave about the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the friendly, local staff, making it feel like a home away from home.
The menu offers a classic selection typical of Japanese bars, but don’t miss their signature Hamu Katsu (ham cutlet), a dish celebrated by patrons. Many guests have noted the exquisite taste and value, with quick service during lunchtime.
While the lack of an English menu can pose a challenge for non-Japanese speakers, the culinary experience is worth the effort. Enjoy authentic flavors amidst the lively ambiance, and join the locals in savoring traditional dishes that keep them coming back for more.
