About this spot
Kamanza serves up bold, spicy skewers that stand out against Kyoto's traditional palate, featuring marinated beef and pork cooked over intense charcoal flames. The smoky aroma fills the narrow alleyway of Nishiki Market, creating a raucous atmosphere where locals gather to drink beer and eat until late at night.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the spicy 'Kamanza' skewers first to experience the restaurant's signature heat level before trying milder options.
- Bring cash only as this bustling market stall often does not accept credit cards or contactless payments.
- Arrive early in the evening to secure a seat at the counter, as standing room fills up quickly during peak dinner hours.
