Azekura Review

Azekura
$$-$$$$, Japanese, Kita-ku
Fodor's Review:
On the northern outskirts of Kyoto, not far from Kamigamo Jinja, Azekura serves superb Italian cuisine, under the giant wooden beams of a 300-year-old sake warehouse. Originally built in Nara, the warehouse was moved to this former samurai estate more than 25 years ago by a kimono merchant. Lunch sets start at ¥1,800, and dinner at ¥4,300. Entrées include roast duck, lobster, and sautéed pork. An impressive selection of Italian wines is available. Azekura is a perfect stop when exploring the Shake-machi district around the shrine, where priests and farmers have lived for more than 10 centuries.
