The restaurant was not crowded, and we were seated at a table with a view of Kyoto Tower in front of us. It was quite nice. The chicken dishes were juicy and delicious, with a nice texture. They also had seasonal items like salt-grilled Pacific saury, which was perfect for enjoying with drinks. Additionally, the appetizer was fresh vegetables, which was much appreciated after eating out for a while.

I found an izakaya near Kyoto Station called Yamauchi Noujou that had a variety of drinks and dishes. I tried a few items, including the "Charcoal-grilled Black Pork" which had just the right amount of salt and the fat from the pork was delicious. The "Black Pork Gyoza with Wings" was tasty, but the wings were not as crispy as expected. The "Deep-fried Small Shrimp" was a classic choice, crispy and flavorful. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the "Local Chicken Charcoal-grilled". They also serve fresh vegetables as an appetizer. This chain restaurant has spacious seating and is very convenient in times of need.

I thought I was going to eat yakitori, but ended up with beef tongue and whale meat. I accidentally ordered a draft beer because they said it was half price. It felt like a place for students. Eating raw whale meat is a bit much. Especially for those of us from the Showa era, it brings back bad memories of school lunches. Please forgive me.

Just before the final moment, I had a quick meal near the station. The staff were very quick in serving, so I was able to enjoy my meal even though I was short on time! I'm grateful! The spicy and flavorful green onion dish was perfect for replenishing my energy on this hot summer day. It was a dish that goes well with alcohol. I love the fluffy sweet potato tempura (with octopus inside) texture. Thank you to the efficient staff! It was a delicious meal!

I visited two days in a row. They offer all-you-can-drink option at a reasonable price. The beer tasted a bit sweet, which might be just my imagination. Some dishes are served on a hot plate, so you can enjoy them while they are still hot.

It is a famous chain izakaya. Orders are placed through a touch panel. The dishes are all delicious as expected, with rich and flavorful flavors. The alcohol selection is also abundant, with many unique options. There is also a wide variety of shochu available.

It's a chain restaurant, but I was curious so I decided to visit for the first time. The cabbage with miso for the appetizer was okay. However, the experience afterwards was terrible. The staff were unfriendly, and their customer service was poor. Even though it wasn't crowded, they wouldn't come when called, and when they did, they seemed unhappy for some reason. They couldn't even recommend anything. I reluctantly ordered something from the featured menu. Every dish that came was too salty, too oily, and all tasted worse than homemade food. It was truly the worst. The only decent thing was the appetizer, but it can't even be considered a dish. I will never go back to this restaurant again.

The inside of the restaurant was extremely cold. Even wearing a light down jacket, the temperature was so low that I was shivering. It was impossible for me to enjoy my drink in such conditions. Disappointing.

I think it's good for a quick drink.

It's a shop that I have visited a few times when drinking near the station, close to Kyoto Station. We often drink with my colleagues, so we chose a plan with a good value all-you-can-drink option. Since we weren't very hungry, we opted for a lower grade of food, but there weren't many tasty options. The hot pot we were looking forward to the most seemed to have forgotten to put in the broth, and by the time we noticed, it had burnt. The staff quickly replaced the pot, but overall, we were not satisfied with the food and probably wouldn't want to come back.

Visited in February 2016. Located in the same building as the Kyoto Hotel, a 5-minute walk from JR Kyoto Station, this is a nationwide chain restaurant where you can enjoy Kyushu cuisine. We went in response to a colleague's request to eat local chicken ^^; - Food: We ordered charcoal-grilled chicken, charcoal-grilled black pork, seared yellowtail, edamame, Caesar salad, horse meat yukhoe, sweet potato tempura, and fried liver, among other dishes. We made a few mistakes with the touch panel order system ^^; The taste of the dishes was not particularly noteworthy. As someone from Kyushu, I tend to prefer spicier flavors when it comes to Kyushu cuisine ^^; - Drinks: The draft beer was served in a chilled mug and promptly, receiving high praise! However, we were recommended the house bottle for shochu, and the fact that water and ice are charged separately was disappointing. - Price range: Unless you opt for a set course, the cost performance is not great. The fact that water and ice for the shochu highball set cost 180 yen each is too much in my opinion. - Service: The service felt very much like that of student part-timers. - Cleanliness: It was at a normal level for a nationwide chain izakaya.

I apologize for the slightly long introduction. The other day, I lost a classmate from junior high school due to illness, but on this day, I met up with another classmate, A, who is still alive for a casual drink. A and I have been classmates since elementary school (we went to the same elementary and junior high schools). Since elementary school, I have always thought that A had a great sense of humor and that his comedic skills were unmatched. Despite being handsome, sociable, intelligent, and having good character, which many men would envy, he is someone you can't hate. I guess he's just on a different level. A recently sent me a message from the train on his way back from a business trip to Tokyo, so I invited him out for a drink as I also wanted to talk about our classmate who passed away. It is said that talking about living people is a form of tribute to the deceased. Despite being tired from his trip back, A accepted the invitation, which I am grateful for. We met at Kyoto Station at 8:00 PM and decided to go to a izakaya called "Yamauchi Farm" among the many izakayas in the area. After toasting, we started talking about our deceased classmate. A and the deceased classmate had no relationship, but they had a near miss encounter in high school. Twenty-four years ago, a friend who was part of a motorcycle group was in a rock band and invited us to one of their live performances in Gion. After the friend's performance, we decided to leave, but the vocalist's brother from the next band made a scene, accusing us of being disrespectful for leaving. Despite feeling guilty for potentially hurting their pride, I tried to apologize and explain that we were in a rush as our friend's performance was over. However, the brother took it as a sign of weakness and continued to berate us. The situation escalated, and the fans also started criticizing us. Even though we had no connection to the brother or his band and it was a regular live performance, the brother's attitude was confrontational. The group mentality took over, and the fans joined in criticizing us. If we had decided to stay and listen, the fans would have supported the brother, but we chose to leave, which led to us being condemned by the crowd.

I visited the "Yamana Farm" in front of Kyoto Station. It is a Montel Rosa-style izakaya chain that is rapidly expanding nationwide, and has grown to a similar number of stores as "Shirokiya" and "Warawara", both of which are in the same series. I never thought there would be so many of them. However, compared to "Uotami", there are still fewer stores. I am not at an age where I go to izakaya chains often, but I thought it was amazing how this chain specializing in Kagoshima cuisine has become so popular, so I decided to visit. In the end, it was a bit underwhelming compared to the original inspiration, "Tsukada Farm", which is surprisingly good. Depending on the store, they even forgot our order, and overall it was quite expensive. I don't think there is a reason to go out of my way to visit again.

During lunch on the day I wrote this review, I suddenly had a strong craving for chicken nanban with lots of tartar sauce. It's funny how when you really want to eat something, it's often hard to find. In the end, I had ramen for lunch and tofu hot pot at Mori's for dinner. I couldn't satisfy my craving for chicken nanban. So, to further fuel my determination for tomorrow, I am writing this review now. There are many places that serve chicken nanban, but I chose Yamanoi Farm for this review because they are open late into the night, allowing me to enjoy chicken nanban anytime. I have only visited this restaurant once, as the third stop on a night of heavy drinking. Even though I was full and didn't need any more food, when I saw the menu with the chicken nanban topped with plenty of tartar sauce, I couldn't resist and ordered it as a snack with drinks. I was prepared for the possibility of chain restaurant quality or poor taste. However, when the chicken nanban arrived, it was generously topped with tartar sauce, and the fried chicken thigh was perfectly juicy. The sweet and sour taste of the nanban vinegar was rich, and the refreshing acidity of the pickles in the tartar sauce complemented it well. The balance of flavors in the chicken nanban was excellent. I enjoyed it so much that I completely forgot how full I was and finished every last bite. As I write this review, I find myself craving chicken nanban again, even though I had planned to eat it tomorrow. Despite my conflicting thoughts, I am grateful for the late-night service and good customer service, so I have rated the service accordingly. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that respects privacy, so I have also rated the ambiance accordingly. My overall rating from my visit in October 2013 was 3.02. Current rating: Overall: 3.4, Food & Taste: 3.2, Service: 3.5, Ambiance: 3.5, Value for Money: 3.5, Drinks: 0.0

After leaving the Kyoto Kimuraya main store, we headed to Jumbo Karaoke Plaza. The next day, one of the company presidents had to return home for work. When asked where to go next, the president, who had no prior knowledge of the restaurant, left the decision up to the incompetent assistant. Sorry for being so useless! After leaving the building, we found a famous Kagoshima-themed izakaya inside the same building. Remembering YukiRin's Kagoshima travel posters we saw at Sapporo Station, we decided to go there. Despite no one else going, I personally chose this restaurant due to the good memories of my Kagoshima trip two months ago. We went back into the same building we just left. With a group of seven, we were asked to wait for a table, so we waited near the entrance. At this point, one person was already dozing off. After a while, we were seated by the window and checked the menu. I found the frozen (draft) beer that I missed out on in Nagoya last summer, so I chose that despite the cold weather. When I checked the website later, I saw they also had Hokkaido black beer, but it wasn't available at the time. The menu had many Kagoshima-themed dishes, so I wanted to enjoy a variety of dishes since it was our first stop. We ordered the Satsuma-age from Kushikino (515 yen), the baked cheese curry with a raw egg on top (609 yen), and the Kagoshima specialty Yellow Bear Ice Cream (609 yen). I had tried the White Bear in Tenmonkan Mujaki in Kagoshima, but I couldn't try the Yellow Bear at Cafe Kanojo's house, so I was really looking forward to it. One person was lying down by the window, fast asleep, and the president was snoring away, when the Yellow Bear arrived! However, it had only two pieces of mango on top, not the generous amount shown in the picture. It was a bit disappointing as the quality of the shaved ice was different from what I had in Kagoshima. The Satsuma-age with burdock was tasty, but a bit pricey at 515 yen for two pieces. The baked cheese curry with a raw egg on top, which seemed unrelated to Kagoshima, was like a dry curry and was the best dish. The dynamic plate of cucumbers and cabbage that came as a starter was around 2800 yen for two plates. Although the restaurant in front of Kyoto Station was open late and focused on Kagoshima specialties, the prices were a bit high and the quality was lacking. I didn't try the other Kagoshima specialties, so I can't say for sure, but I hope they focus more on either price or quality in the future.

I visited Yamana Farm for the third round of drinks at a drinking party. It is located in a drinking establishment building on the west side of Kyoto Station, near Kyoto Theater. This place specializes in dishes from Kagoshima. The staff wear uniforms that look like yukatas or happi coats, which made me feel cold. We looked through the menu and ordered some Kagoshima specialties like kibinago sashimi, sweet potato ice cream, along with other dishes like satsuma-age (\515), baked cheese curry (\609), and yellow bear (\609). The baked cheese curry was served on a hot plate and tasted delicious. The yellow bear was a Kagoshima specialty where the white bear was turned yellow with mango flavor, essentially mango shaved ice. It was a bit lacking in mango compared to the photo on the menu. Overall, the prices were a bit on the higher side for this type of izakaya. Personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but it's a convenient option if you're looking for a place open until 3 am on Fridays and Saturdays and find yourself near Kyoto Station late at night. The menu is a bit unique and interesting. Thank you for the meal!

This is a second visit to a popular izakaya near Kyoto Station. The location is quite convenient, being close to the station. I don't remember the last time I visited, so it feels like my first time here. It's located on the Kyoto Tower side of Kyoto Station, a little west of the Family Mart on the 4th floor. Today, I had a drinking party with young colleagues. The dishes that came out were delicious. We had "wakame salad," "Thai-style carpaccio," "water dumpling hot pot," "fried potatoes and other fried dishes," and "pasta for the finish." I think it's reasonably priced for being near Kyoto Station. Thank you for the meal.

I usually don't go to chain izakaya restaurants, but I had plans to drink in Kyoto and decided to try one after a long time. We ordered dishes like chicken skin in ponzu sauce, horse sashimi with yuzu pepper, grilled beef tongue, shirako in ponzu sauce, cheese chijimi, and spicy potatoes. The food was not bad, but there wasn't anything that stood out as incredibly delicious either. It's a good place for casual drinking, but compared to restaurants that carefully select ingredients and create unique menus, I found it somewhat lacking in the enjoyment of the food.

In October 2016, I had dinner with friends near Kyoto Station and stumbled upon Yamauchi Farm, a restaurant specializing in local chicken dishes. The restaurant was almost full on the weekend, but we were seated by a window with a view of Kyoto Tower. We ordered a salad, grilled chicken liver with garlic butter, and a platter of horse sashimi and chicken sashimi. The food was tasty, although the chicken flavor was not very strong. We also enjoyed green tea highballs, made with Chiran tea. The fried rice at the end was a bit oily but delicious. The quality of the food was better than typical chain izakayas, but the prices were slightly higher. With a 10% discount from a Gurunavi coupon, the total bill for two people was around 7500 yen. Overall, it's a convenient option for a last-minute meal with a view of Kyoto Tower, but be aware that there are second-floor seats without a view. The restaurant has a strict two-hour time limit per table, which may be a downside for those who like to linger. I rated it 2.5 stars, considering my love for chicken dishes and the overall experience.
