Kyoto Ito Okashi

This tranquil space, renovated from a traditional machiya, serves as a charcoal-grilled Japanese restaurant. The thick, charcoal-grilled silver salmon paired with glossy rice cooked in a donabe pot is aromatic and delightful. Guests can enjoy flavor variations with citrus salt and honey lemon marmalade, and finish off with a luxurious ochazuke topped with shellfish broth. The theatrical presentation of freshly shaved karasumi right before your eyes, along with friendly service, enhances the dining experience. As a new establishment that beautifully colors Kyoto's mornings, it has garnered attention, with many vowing to return.
