Yagenbori
Yagenbori Review
Waitresses in exquisite kimonos serve posh izakaya fare inside this 130-year-old teahouse on a cobbled corner by the romantic Shirakawa river, just north of Shijo-dori in Gion. The decor, featuring original paintings by renowned woodblock revivalist Clifton Karhu, is a feast for the eyes. The feast on the table is less exciting, especially for those familiar with Japanese cuisine, but sashimi served in icy tureens, delicious warm yuba tofu skin, and kamaboko fish soup are all good. Don't miss the hoba miso—bean paste with mushrooms and green onions that is wrapped in a giant oak leaf and grilled at your table—on the à la carte menu. The excellent box lunch is a bargain at ¥2,800.
