Yuuki 遊亀

The name literally means "playful turtle" but Yuuki, located in the heart of the Gion entertainment district, serves a variety of seafood, mostly fried or tempura style. Great place to experience a traditional "izakaya" atmosphere (1st floor recommended), not to mention excellent dishes that won't blow a hole in your wallet.  This is notable considering Yuuki's central location. The menu is literally written on the walls, and the sake list is extensive.
