It’s an old traditional kyoto-style house, converted to a yakitori with an charming ambiance. Hearts, gizzards, skins, meats, kyoto style tofu skewers. Loved the fatty pork and gizzard the most. I’ve had better chicken skewers near this area but still a great experience.

「串くら」の串焼きは美味しい！ 五串コース(2,100円)を注文して、焼き鳥・野菜串などが出してくれた。 串くら本店は、築百余年の京の町家で、家の真ん中は綺麗な庭を見ながら食べれます。 I visited Kushikura with a group of headteachers from the UK, and several of them mentioned that this was their favourite meal of our whole trip to Japan. The restaurant is located in an attractive old town house, that looks out onto a pretty Japanese garden. Every dish was delicious, and presented beautifully. Our set meal was also massive(so it was actually quite difficult to finish it all!) I honestly think this is the perfect place to bring foreign friends when they visit Kyoto, to give them a taste of gorgeous(but subtle) Kyoto cuisine. It would also be a lovely place for a date… so I’ll have to remember to bring my husband next time we come to Kyoto.(^^)
