Isoism
Isoism is a casual modern izakaya-style Japanese restaurant near Kyoto station that is known for its variety of small vegetable-focused dishes inspired by a "from farmer to table" concept. The menu is handwritten in Japanese Kanji without English translations, and seating is limited, so reservations are recommended. Guests often highlight unique items like tofu skin dishes, yuba ice cream, and pickled vegetables, while noting the lively atmosphere with chefs cooking visibly and interactions at the bar.
