I entered because I was interested in a seafood izakaya on Sanjo Shopping Street. There were many menu options to choose from, such as raw mackerel and sweet shrimp marinated in Shaoxing wine. There is an ashtray outside for smoking. It was almost full around 6 p.m. It's a bit far, but I would like to visit again if I happen to pass by.

During my trip to Kyoto, I stayed near Nijo Castle and visited Sanjo-Kai Shopping Street. While walking along the charming shopping street, I discovered a friendly restaurant where everything I ate was delicious! The staff were kind and the customers were also friendly. It was a very pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant.

Ami Tatsu is located slightly closer to Senbon Street on Sanjo Shopping Street. Today, I enjoyed lunch with my childhood friends from elementary and junior high school. We recently reconnected, and my friend often travels to Niigata for work, always bringing back sake as a souvenir. So, we met up to receive the gifts and catch up. Originally a fish market, this shop has now transformed into a seafood stall where you can enjoy fresh fish and sake. Today, we leisurely indulged in dishes like fresh oysters and Kyoto's summer specialty, grilled pike conger eel. It was a delightful afternoon, and we had a great time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Today, I visited a shop that my former colleague opened in Sanjo Shotengai, and then we went for drinks. The recommended seafood stall by my former colleague, called Amitatsu, was the only shop with customers lined up outside that day. They also offer takeout, where you can get sea pineapple and sea grapes to go, which is rare in Kyoto. The menu was full of seafood options like Thai fish, salmon, and firefly squid with vinegar miso, all fresh and delicious. The clams and hokke were also amazing. However, the highlight for me was the sudachi cold sake - I couldn't stop drinking it! We ended the night with clam soup and crab soup, completely satisfied. The staff was young and energetic, and the prices were reasonable. I would definitely want to come back here.

I visited during lunchtime. As expected from a seafood restaurant, the flavors were well-seasoned and the portion size and price were reasonable. The squid and sea bream in the seafood bowl set could have been a bit softer for an even better experience. They also serve alcohol during lunch, so I would like to visit again.

We felt like eating fish dishes, so we remembered the delicious meal we had last time and came with my mother. It was before 1 pm so we were able to get a seat, but the restaurant was almost full. There were only 3 staff members, so they seemed a bit overwhelmed. The menu had many delicious options. We decided to order the recommended Seabass with fresh seaweed sauce set meal and the Bonito fry set meal. We waited for about 15 minutes. The dishes looked delicious. But wait, is there a strange smell? Is it a fishy smell? Is it raw? The new seaweed sauce was terrible. It wasn't just bad, it had a strong unpleasant smell. I couldn't eat it. My mother said it was her first time trying it, so she finished it, but it smelled like it was spoiled. The other dishes were tasty, but the seaweed sauce was a big disappointment.

I like casual, unpretentious restaurants. This place doesn't have anything particularly delicious, but the food is decent. I wanted to eat lunch there, but I decided not to because I'm going to the sauna. The deli items they sell outside are also pretty tasty.

A restaurant that is open for lunch as well. This place is bustling in the Sanjo Kai shopping street. When I passed by during lunchtime, the takeout dishes were being sold at a very affordable price, so I decided to wait in line for about 10 minutes for the evening service. I asked the staff if the takeout dishes being sold outside are priced the same as inside, and they said that while the contents are slightly different, the prices are almost the same, which reassured me to enter. I ordered a beer and looked at the menu, which seemed to have higher prices compared to the takeout dishes displayed outside. Despite the discrepancy, I ordered several relatively inexpensive grilled skewers. The skewers were meant to be dipped in sauce but were overall burnt and tough. The miso-marinated mackerel was delicious but had many small bones making it difficult to eat. I also ordered the recommended dish of boiled turtle hands. I tore off the claw part to suck out the meat inside, but despite being boiled in salt, the flavor did not penetrate the skin, so it tasted the same as eating it raw. Lastly, the miso soup and rice were delicious. Overall, the prices inside were on the higher side, while the outside prices were more affordable.

Fifth place. Second bar at the third drink. Not far from the standing bar. Saw seafood in front of the store and decided immediately. Probably other people were lured by the crab. They also have a famous skewered cutlet made with crushed rice crackers. Next time I'll come for the oysters and crab, and try whatever else catches my eye. The skewered cutlet was different, with a dashi sauce poured over it. Goes perfectly with oysters. The crab was decent for the price, and if there are three people, the price and portion size are just right. There were some interesting fish on the menu, but since we weren't staying here long, I'll save that for next time. It's great to have a restaurant with lots of seafood options.

On December 17th, 4th year of Reiwa (Saturday), we visited Nijo Castle in Kyoto! Built in the early 17th century after the Battle of Sekigahara, during the Tokugawa era, there were still prestigious warriors loyal to the Toyotomi clan who were vowing to make a comeback at Osaka Castle. However, about 20 years later, during the time of Iemitsu, Japan was peaceful and prosperous. Nijo Castle, aside from a few marks that could be remnants of arrow hits, appeared to be a peaceful palace. We spent over 2 hours at Nijo Castle, then headed to the Sanjo Shopping Street in Kyoto to find a place to drink. However, the shopping street had few dining options. Just as we were about to give up, we found a seafood specialty store right before the end of the street and immediately went in with the intention of drinking. Our order included: - Striped jack sashimi: 980 yen (incl. tax) - Pollack roe potato salad: 380 yen - Squid rings: 480 yen - Mackerel simmered in miso: 680 yen - Skewers (squid, octopus, lotus root, sweet potato, shiitake mushroom, eggplant): 110 yen each - Highball: 440 yen - Sweet potato shochu with hot water (Kurokiri): 550 yen - Cold sake (Ikegumo): 660 yen - Cup wine (white): 440 yen - Lemon chu-hi: 440 yen The standout was the fried dishes! The squid rings and skewers, coated in crushed rice crackers, were incredibly delicious, but by the time we left the restaurant, our mouths were full of sores! We must have eaten too quickly in our eagerness to enjoy the flavors! In particular, the skewers dipped in a thick, savory sauce were a must-try dish that we would love to see become popular in Osaka! The generous amount of sauce on the squid rings and skewers may have been designed to prevent mouth sores from the crispy coating. Also, ordering all the dishes at once due to their large portions was a bit risky, a lesson learned the hard way. We stumbled upon a fantastic restaurant. It was a result of both visiting the castle and perhaps a form of paying respects to our ancestors that our hearts were purified. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I stopped by a seafood stall, Amitatsu, on my way back from Nijo Castle. After spending about two hours exploring the historical Nijo Castle, I left and walked towards the station through the Sanjo Kai Shotengai arcade. I had the impression that there were not many food and drink shops in this arcade, and was almost about to give up when I unexpectedly stumbled upon a seafood specialty store. It was towards the end of the shopping street, but it was a wonderful encounter. I entered the lively and vibrant stall-style izakaya run by a fishmonger. The interior of the store had a lively and hearty atmosphere, with tables and chairs made from beer crates, giving it a vibrant and energetic feel. The staff were all lively and full of energy. The various dishes were fresh and generously portioned, exuding a lively and hearty atmosphere. The popular dish called "kushi okoge" was a fried food with a crispy coating made from crushed rice crackers. The seating inside was simple, with a casual atmosphere that was very soothing for the mind and body. I truly wished this place was closer to where I live. The menu I enjoyed included Shimaji sashimi, mentaiko potato salad, squid ring fry, sawara miso-grilled, and various skewers of "kushi okoge" (squid, octopus, lotus root, sweet potato, shiitake mushroom, eggplant) each priced at 110 yen. For drinks, I had a highball, sweet potato shochu with hot water (Kurokiri), cold sake (Ikegumo), cup wine (white), and lemon chu-hai. The crispy coating of the "kushi okoge" skewers was made from crushed rice crackers, which helped to soften the roughness. It was meant to be dipped in a rich and savory broth, making it a delightful dish. The portion sizes of the dishes were unexpectedly large, which was greatly appreciated. The service was excellent, and I left feeling full and satisfied. I would love to visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

For a midday drink, is it luxurious? I met up with my middle school friend after a long time and decided to have lunch somewhere. Since it's a special occasion, I wanted to have a little bit of alcohol as well. So we visited the famous shop Ami Tatsu in Sanjo Shopping Street. The fresh sashimi and fried food, especially the salted bonito tataki, were very delicious. There were many types of sake that were sold out, but we started with bottled beer, enjoyed the sashimi with cold sake, and had fried food with highball. I didn't try it myself, but wasn't the thickness of the mackerel sushi that my friend ordered amazing? Thank you for the feast today as well.

I visited the seafood izakaya "Kaisen Yatai Amitatsu" on Sanjo Street shopping street, about a 5-minute walk from Nijo Station. I arrived around 6 pm and miraculously got a table that had just become available! The place seemed busy from early on. The sashimi was fresh and the buri without any fishy smell was exquisite. They also have a wide selection of sake that goes well with the fish dishes. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ◎

Amidatsu, a seafood stall in Sanjo Kaishotenmangu Shopping Street in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City (JR Nijo). ♡ The flounder sashimi has a firm texture, and the salt-grilled blackthroat seaperch has just the right amount of fat. #AmidatsuSeafoodStall #Amidatsu #Nijo #SanjoKaishotenmanguShoppingStreet #SanjoStreet #FreshFish #Seafood #SeafoodDishes #FishDishes #Sashimi #SlicedRawFish #GrilledFish #SaltGrilled #FlounderSashimi #BlackthroatSeaperchGrilledWithSalt #SeafoodIzakaya #SeafoodStall #StallIzakaya #Izakaya #KyotoGourmet #KyotoFoodWalking #AiUeO #AiTaiyo #Let'sEatInKyotoWithAiTaiyo #AiUeO'sKyotoGourmet.

It was mid-afternoon on the weekend, a somewhat awkward time to visit. I had been curious about this restaurant for a while, thinking it might offer good value for money, but it turned out that the cost was not as great as expected. However, the freshness of the ingredients exceeded my imagination, especially the recommended yellowtail sashimi today was incredibly delicious. The cost was a bit high, though. If it was closer to my home, I might visit occasionally. When I crave delicious fish, I know where to go.

A friend suggested going to a famous Chinese restaurant, so we met at Futaru Station on a rainy day. After checking the restaurant's holiday and business hours on Tabelog, we arrived to find out that it was unexpectedly closed. Feeling disappointed, we walked through Sanjo Shopping Street with arcades, as it was raining. We ended up at another restaurant where we had a quick meal. We ordered a seared octopus with ponzu sauce and fried skewers. The octopus had a good texture, but lacked the seared flavor. The fried skewers were a bit overcooked. We also had salt-grilled fish, which was served with grated radish and lemon. The soy sauce tasted strange, almost like it was diluted. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere with customers of different backgrounds. Despite the slow service and high prices, we enjoyed the unique setting. After leaving the restaurant, we tried to visit a yakitori place but it was full, so we ended up at a pub in Kawaramachi for fried chicken and beer. It was a long day of walking around.

There is a seafood izakaya called Ami Tatsu on Sanjo Shopping Street. They have fish displayed and you can choose one to have it prepared for you. It feels like you are in a different prefecture. I had various dishes that were delicious. The skewered cutlets were made from a unique type of fish. The fish was fresh and I was very satisfied. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely go back. I appreciate all the ingredients in this world. Calling out to all the delicious food♪ The more you eat, the more powerful you become♪

In the middle of Sanjo Shopping Street in Kyoto, there is Ami Tatsu-ya! During the day, they run a fish market, so they have a wide variety of fresh fish! They also offer unique types of fish that are delicious! The atmosphere of the shop is great with chairs made from overturned beer cases, giving it a casual vibe. Whether you're a drinker or not, this is a perfect place for everyone! The prices may be slightly high, but you won't be disappointed. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the meal!

The soup curry restaurant in Marucho was temporarily closed, so I went back to Sanjo Shotengai and went to Ami Tatsu. It was lunchtime, so I asked, "Are you having lunch or drinking during the day?" "Both!" I had the mixed fry set meal and seafood bowl. The mixed fry included huge shrimp, oysters, scallops, and white fish. Always together ~ ♬ I wanted to eat ~ ♪ Next to me, there was a shrimp that was crunchy! The white fish fry was impressive. It was a fry wrapped with shiso leaf and plum meat, and the fish was kisu (Japanese whiting) maybe? When you dip it in the sauce and put it in your mouth, a nice fragrance comes out of your nose. I even ate up all the rice grains. Rice and miso soup are free refills. I enjoyed it with three highballs. I also recommend the mekabu ponzu for ¥100 from the daytime drinking menu! Thank you for the meal.

Accompanied by a friend, I visited Ami Tatsu in the Sanjo Shopping Street. As soon as I entered, I could tell it was a great place. We started with a toast with draft beer and enjoyed some fresh sashimi of kawahagi liver with ponzu sauce. It was so fresh and the liver was incredibly sweet! Next, we had a tuna salad with thick slices of tuna, which was a delight for tuna lovers. We switched to highball and tried a dish of deep-fried minced meat, which was served hot and delicious. The vinegar miso dish with torigai (cockle) was also fantastic. Of course, we also enjoyed some sake. We spent about 2 hours there and left completely satisfied. Thank you for the great experience!
