海と空

August 18, 2010 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

To my mind the best fish 'n' chips in town are at the 海と空 (Umi to Sora or Sea and Sky) Okinawan restaurant on Shijo. Strictly speaking they don't actually have "fish 'n' chips on the menu, but what you do is; you order the ぐるくんのスイートチリソース (That's gurukun, a kind of Okinawan whitefish, with sweet chili sauce) and a portion of fried potatoes and you're away!

antighseinnse

March 11, 2009 By 1 Comment

There's a Scottish pub in north Kyoto named antighseinnse (a.k.a. Horie's Bar). The name (pronounced "an ti shayn jay" I think) is Gaelic and means simply "Inn". The owner Toshiyuki Horie named it after a favored pub on the isle of Islay in Scotland and still proudly wears a T-shirt celebrating "The best pub in Portnahaven". Horie-san, a self-described whisky otaku or geek, … [Read more...]

Sheep's Public Cafe is a place I have been meaning to check out for a while. I kept seeing it as I cycled home from work and thinking to myself "Sheeps. Why Sheep's?"

The owners have … [Read more...]

What follows is a list of the five pubs we visited,  a summary of what we found there and a map to each location.  For a fuller article, more pictures and directions click on … [Read more...]

The Gael – Now Closed

December 22, 2008 By dk-admin89 2 Comments

Update: Sadly the Gael closed its doors for the last time in 2017. In Search of ... the Craic Part 1 Earlier this month my friend David Ewen and I went on a pub crawl of Kyoto's Irish pubs to see what they had to offer. Though neither of us are particularly keen on the "gaijin pub" scene, we both occasionally feel a hankering for Irish beer and I especially for traditional … [Read more...]
