A unique aspect of Gion Tanto’s menu? Its many vegan options that offer a quality dining experience for people with specific dietary needs! This includes things like specialty vegan okonomiyaki made with toppings like soy meat, mochi, and corn, as well as grilled vegetables like yams, potatoes, and corn!
A popular destination with limited seating, expect a line on weekends, but the high-quality, staple-filled menu certainly warrants a visit! Located right at the curve of a canal stemming from the Kamo River, the storefront is very picturesque, with a the nearby bridge being a distinct scene of traditional Kyoto.
Korin
285 Miyagawasuji, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto, 605-0801
Korin is a restaurant that encapsulates the essence of the Gion district. Serving up classic izakaya staples out of a repurposed tea house, enjoying a meal here may serve as the ultimate Kyoto dining experience. There are three course menus that customers can choose from featuring Kyoto-style cuisine; however, the à la carte menu is also well-beloved by regulars.
