    YOU MUST VISIT THIS PLACE!! Squeeze your self between the polite locals and try fresh and cheap sushi. Whatever we tried was super tasty (tempura,miso soup). People super friendly.

    This place is awesome! Super friendly staff, cheap prices, and awesome food and drinks. Standing room only and it gets really packed, but its worth it to immerse yourself in Kyoto.

    Amazing local shoebox-sized sashimi and sake bar. Filled with the friendliest locals ever! Utterly wonderful; join the queue - not to be missed.

    Absolutely delicious. We had to wait in line for about 30', but it definitely worth it. Plenty of locals. Great prices and great food. Don't miss it if you're around the corner.

    Very small, crowded and no seats! But, at this price, this is the best sushi and sashimi. So many locals stop by alone to relax and enjoy with drink!

    The food is very good but be prepared that you cannot even stand holder to shoulder in this place because it gets very crowded. They have an English menu which makes it easy to order.

    It's great as long as you know what you are getting. Standing room only, plenty of folks drinking/smoking, no bathroom to speak of, and fresh cheap sashimi.

    Sashimi is so good! Huge platter for 1000 yen! Incredibly welcoming locals, huge portions, and great great value for money.

    It's a little hard to find, it's to the right of McDonald's. You'll see a standing bar where you can eat.

    阪急大宮駅にほど近い立ち飲み屋さん。立ち飲み庶民お勧めは?と尋ねたら即、「本のお造り」と。一切れ一切れがとても厚切りで脂が乗っていてとっても美味しい。どの肴も比較的安く、店内は大勢のお客さんで賑わっていてとても活気があります。ここはお勧め。

    Se come de pie en este minúsculo bar donde gente popular local puede degustar sabrosa comida como sashimi, nigiro, maki muy barato. Probar el sake de Kyoto es muy rico.
