Bajitofu (馬耳東風)

One minute from both the Karasuma subway line and Hankyu Karasuma stations in central Kyoto, Bajitofu (whose name evokes the Japanese idiom for water off a horse’s ear) serves affordable yakitori six nights a week, with dinner typically running ¥3,000 to ¥4,000 per person. The restaurant seats its last guests at 10:00 PM and closes on Sundays and public holidays. Its central location and approachable pricing make it a convenient option for visitors staying near Shijo-Karasuma looking for a Hyakumeiten-recognized meal without a reservation-only premium.
