Sumibi Kazuya

Restaurant Details

A secreted izakaya located in Kawaramachi, Sumibi Kazuya exemplifies the appeal of Kyoto’s culinary scene and long history of developing some of the best washoku dishes.

Located close to the station, Sumibi Kazuya's flickering coal-fire grill creates a warm space to try seasonal seafood and affordable Kyoto-style izakaya dishes. The casual, tavern-like atmosphere is enhanced by a distinct entrance, leading to a large wooden counter that stretches to the back of the space, bathed in moody lighting. For those seeking more privacy, a tatami room is tucked away deeper in the restaurant.

While the menu offers many temptations, the best way to experience Sumibi Kazuya is through the owner’s seasonal tasting course. Centered around Kyo-yasai (Kyoto’s heirloom vegetables) and locally sourced ingredients, the meal evolves with the seasons. The owner’s passion for Kyoto is evident in the preparation of obanzai, a traditional home-style dining style that uses exclusively provincial foodstuffs.

Sumibi Kazuya also serves specially selected, in-season seafood. Fresh fish is grilled over charcoal for a smokier taste or served as sashimi, and the extensive selection of sake and highballs is perfect for pairing. Drinking snacks like uni marinated in kani-miso and grilled meats are served alongside tempura, which keeps guests coming back for more.

An irresistible temptation for seafood and Japanese food lovers looking for the perfect final stop of the day, Sumibi Kazuya accommodates up to 20 guests for a lively party atmosphere.
