01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

Opening in the evening, Takeshita is a Japanese restaurant where guests can linger over drinks alongside dishes steeped in Kyoto's traditional culinary sensibilities. With the subdued, comfortable atmosphere of a traditional kappo eatery, the dining room is calm and quiet, making it easy to drop by on your own for an unhurried dinner.

The menu features a selection of small dishes tailored to accompany alcohol, alongside unpretentious, carefully prepared Japanese staples such as fragrant grilled fish, tempura, and fresh yuba (tofu skin). Savoring these plates as they arrive alongside quality sake or beer makes for an exceptionally satisfying way to spend an evening.

Takeshita is open in the evening from 17:00 to 23:00, and advance reservations are accepted for dinner. Tucked into the residential streets of Taniguchi in Ukyo Ward, it offers an understated setting for enjoying food and drink without any pretense.
