Yoshidayama Seseri (吉田山せせり)

Tucked at the back of an alley near Kyoto Station, Yoshidayama Seseri has earned Tabelog Hyakumeiten yakitori WEST selection for both 2024 and 2025 with an eight-seat, counter-only room split across three fixed nightly time slots. Reservations open exactly one month in advance, reflecting the restaurant’s tightly managed, appointment-only style. The relaxed, izakaya-style space allows smoking, accepts cash only, and pairs its grilled chicken skewers with a broader menu of meat dishes suited to a slow evening among regulars.
