Help me find this Kyoto izakaya from 2017!

Hi everyone, I visited Kyoto in 2017 and went to an izakaya that I loved so much. I’m back in Kyoto now and trying to find it again but haven’t had any luck—hoping someone here can help!

What I remember:

  • The entrance was very narrow, and had the traditional look of lanterns
  • It had two floors—downstairs had tables and seating around an open kitchen, upstairs had tatami seating
  • The menu had pictures of the dishes, and I specifically remember fried gobo being on it
  • I think it was part of a chain or at least had another location in Kyoto, but I’m not 100% sure
  • It served mainly locals (at least on the few times I was there)

I know this can describe so many izakayas, but I still haven't found the one.

Any ideas? Would love to go back—thanks in advance! 🙂
