Yakiton Kemuri Kyoto

A yakiton restaurant popular with the locals in Kyoto. Still easy to book, but it was full tonight so reservation is a must.

The focus is on pork horumon (offal), which I found that I’m not a huge fan of. I had, among other things, stomach, heart, uterus and cartilage. Easier to enjoy was the tsukune (meatball) of minced pork and chicken. I had both the common version with egg yolk and one with a slice of cheddar and grana padano on top.

Natural wine is another specialty of this restaurant, but unfortunately the only options by the glass are tetrapak wine (white, orange and red). There’s an all you can drink option of shochu hi, beer and sake though. Less
