Ajitetsu

Ajitetsu’s yakisoba is a good choice if you’re drawn to the texture of the noodles. Diners have remarked on their springy, smooth bite, and some recommend the dish as a house favourite. One visitor said adding abura-kasu (crispy beef offcuts) made it even more enjoyable. Start with the yakisoba, then add toppings to suit your taste.

Alongside okonomiyaki, the menu includes monjayaki, a dish less commonly found in Kyoto. Diners who tried it reported that they enjoyed it. Among the okonomiyaki options, one visitor praised the chewy texture of the kaki-tama and the generous amount of pork. The negiyaki, another diner noted, had a thin batter topped with fillings and a fried egg.

For teppan cooking, consider the salted Omi beef offal. One diner who sat at the counter alone and ordered stir-fried Omi beef offal recalled an especially memorable meal, thanks both to the teppan dishes and the conversation with the owner. There are also booths, making the layout suitable for a meal with friends as well as dining solo. Beer is available, and visitors have also mentioned a selection of sake and beer.

Ajitetsu is open daily from 17:00 until 2:00 the following day. It offers an option for a late meal around Shimogamo, whether you’re in the mood for yakisoba, okonomiyaki or teppan dishes.
