Can anyone recommend any walk-in restaurants in Kyoto? Any type of food is fine, though places that specialize in Japanese food of all types would be preferable.
I'm intentionally trying to have fewer reservations in Kyoto so I can focus on exploring the sights and not worrying about having to make restaurant reservations (in contrast to Tokyo where I have a lot of reservations and my schedule is now a lot more constricted).
I'm staying near Sanjo station -- are the restaurants there very touristy? Should I explore other neighborhoods in Kyoto?
Thanks in advance!

Hotel De Ogawa
Udon Endo（うどん えんどう）
Gion Rohan（祇園ろはん）
Akagakiya（赤垣屋）
Shinme（神馬）
Washoku Haru（和食晴ル）
Tsuroku（つろく）
These are all popular restaurants. If you don't get there at the right time, there's a good chance you won't get in.

Thank you Leo!

Does anyone know if Sushidokoro Mekumi takes bookings for one person? Omakase only ever shows 2 pax minimum but I wonder if you can call them for a solo booking

Has anyone been to Kusunoki when Hashimoto was the lead fryer? I'm kind of curious about Kusunoki Nakameguro since there is a little availability while I'm in Tokyo.

Honestly you shouldn't miss the opportunity if you can grab a seat at Kusunoki , no matter who the fryer is. They have a quite good SOP of frying so should be able to receive good experience anyway.

https://thetokyogourmet.blogspot.com/I've been a few times to Hashimoto-san's counter at the main restaurant. There are fewer "wow" moments compared with the taisho's course as the ingredients are cheaper but the difference in technique is marginal. I'd recommend it for an introduction to Kusuoki-style tempura, which IMHO is the best. Note that it's always more expensive than whatever price they advertise.

Anyone have any thoughts about Noumata Sou in Osaka? Is it worth going?

Good technique, but no standout ingredients. Wasn't a fan of the stilted service but I think that's more of a personal preference thing.
