MK Guide Recommends
Housed in a converted traditional townhouse, Isoism brightens a quiet street west of Karasuma‑Shichijō with youthful energy and curiosity. The team, drawing produce from their own farm, pickles each vegetable in its ideal way—white‑wine tomatoes, miso‑burdock, oil‑marinated celery—with techniques that respect tradition but embrace experimentation. Dinner shifts focus to small plates of pickled vegetables, creative spam‑free izakaya snacks, and a curated drink list. Service feels thoughtful and convivial—ideal for relaxed weekday gatherings or playful weekend evening sessions .
