Pontocho Masuda
Kyoto
A father and son run the kitchen here, turning out obanzai, the homestyle cooking Kyoto families have always eaten at home. The mood is quiet Showa-era Pontocho, before the neighborhood got fashionable, with simmered side dishes, grilled seafood, and seasonal stews that have no interest in impressing anyone. The sort of small, warm restaurant where the food tastes like someone's grandmother invented it, because essentially she did.
