Teshima

The appetizer is a luxurious dish that truly allows you to experience the flavors of the season, made with care for each individual customer. Among regulars, this appetizer is affectionately known as the trademark of 'Teshima.' Each dish is carefully prepared, highlighting the natural umami of the ingredients, resulting in a handmade taste. In particular, the menu featuring seasonal ingredients offers new discoveries with each visit. Its excellent pairing with alcohol can sometimes lead to overindulgence.

The 'Teshima' is a calm space with only about 8 counter seats, quietly standing at the very back of the Yotsutomi Hall. The interior has a nostalgic feel, exuding the warmth of wooden architecture. The friendly conversations exchanged between the approachable owner and regular customers resonate throughout the shop, creating a comfortable, homey atmosphere. Even first-time visitors can quickly feel at ease. It's a great place to drop by alone or to sit side by side with close friends; in any case, the comfort of the place is its pride.

"Teshima" is located in a corner of the Shitomi Hall, which has been renovated from a traditional Kyoto townhouse. This building features a charming wooden townhouse style, allowing visitors to enjoy the atmosphere typical of Kyoto. Widely known as a 'hall drinking' spot, it is loved by both tourists and locals. Visitors can relax in a cozy space that has been modernly arranged while retaining the original charm of the townhouse. It is a valuable place to experience the deep culture of Kyoto.
