Tori Sakana Kyoto Kawaramachi: All-You-Can-Eat Yakitori and Sushi in Kawaramachi

If you want a Kyoto night out that covers grilled chicken skewers, fresh sushi, and a bubbling chicken hot pot under one roof, head to IZAKAYA - Tori Sakana Kyoto Kawaramachi Ten. This modern all-you-can-eat izakaya puts you in the heart of Kawaramachi's dining district with city views, big tables, and a menu that runs from land to sea.

What it is

Tori Sakana means "bird and fish," and that is exactly the philosophy of the kitchen here on the 5th floor of Kawaramachi DECK by COAST. The restaurant is a modern izakaya built around an expansive all-you-can-eat format that brings together premium yakitori, fresh sushi and sashimi, seafood dishes, and a signature chicken hot pot. It is a spacious, clean room designed for long evenings, and the format lets you order across the whole menu rather than choosing a single dish. Because one kitchen handles both the grill and the raw-fish counter, a single table can move from yakitori to sashimi and back without changing restaurants.

The all-you-can-eat experience is generous, spanning dozens of dishes with up to 92 to 139 items depending on the plan you choose. All-you-can-drink options are also available and include draft beer and highballs, making it easy to settle in for the night.

What to order

Start with the premium yakitori, grilled chicken skewers that anchor the "bird" side of the menu, then move to the "fish" with fresh sushi and sashimi and a range of seafood dishes. The signature is the chicken hot pot, made with a whole chicken and offered in two broths: a creamy white soup or a refreshing yuzu-kosho soy sauce. Both are worth trying if your plan allows you to come back for seconds. The pot is built on a whole chicken rather than cut pieces alone, which gives the broth its depth — order it near the middle of the meal so the whole table can share.

For something heartier, the yakitori donburi, grilled chicken rice bowls, and tempura rice bowls round out the meal. The all-you-can-eat format means you can spread the meal across skewers, sashimi, hot pot, and rice bowls without committing to just one style.

The room

The interior is spacious and clean, with private tables, semi-private rooms, and window-side seats that overlook the Kyoto city skyline at night. The mix of seating gives you options: a quiet corner, a semi-private room for conversation, or a window seat for the view as the city lights come on.

Because the space is this flexible, it works as well for a date as it does for a lively group party. The room holds onto the energy of an izakaya without feeling cramped.
