01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Nakaluta, an izakaya situated in Muko, Kyoto Prefecture, provides a relaxed space to enjoy drinks alongside unpretentious obanzai side dishes and warm, comforting fare. With its cozy, home-style atmosphere, diners can settle in comfortably at either the counter or table seating to shape an evening dinner at their own pace.
Diverse Izakaya Fare and Oden Staples
A natural place to begin is the oden, featuring staples such as daikon radish, simmered egg, thick fried tofu, chikuwa fish cakes, burdock root tempura, and konjac. Ordering the three-piece oden selection offers an easy way to sample the broth, pairing effortlessly with the selection of sake, beer, or wine. The kitchen also turns out a generous array of small plates, spanning Japanese classics like Kyoto-dashi fried chicken and special dashi rolled omelettes to casual drinking companions such as crispy cheese, natto omelettes, and dried squid tempura.
Satisfying Final Courses from Noodles to Set Meals
Beyond snacks for casual drinking, Nakaluta also caters to those looking for a proper meal. Noodle dishes like Japanese-style yakiudon, crispy fried noodles, and warm nyumen somen soup sit on the menu alongside rice balls and daily set meals, letting guests round out dinner according to whatever they are craving. Operating from dusk Wednesday through Saturday, it offers an easygoing spot to drop by at the end of the day.
