Kyoto, Japan
¥¥ ・ Izakaya
The proprietor loves rice, so he named his establishment ‘Komedokoro’, meaning ‘place of rice’. Taste the freshly cooked white rice and you’ll understand why it’s so famous. Dishes are served on small plates, encouraging you to try a variety of items. Order the platter of side dishes and you’re sure to eat more than intended. The chef takes pride in his seafood, delivered direct from Imabari in his native Ehime, as are the citrus fruits used as garnish. Sake and nibbles served at this ‘place of rice’ vary by the day.
