Piron

There is an easy pleasure in ordering skewers of pork, shrimp, or sweet onion one by one and enjoying them with a chilled beer. Located in Hazukashi Shimizucho, Fushimi Ward, Piron is an izakaya where guests can settle in over skewers, simmered oden, and a wide array of small dishes. Nibbling on savory yakitori or dashi-steeped oden staples like daikon radish and beef tendon while sipping a chuhai or a highball mixed to your preferred strength makes for a comfortable, unhurried evening.

Beyond light bar snacks, the kitchen also provides a substantial variety of hearty fare. In addition to small plates like stewed beef tendon, rolled dashi omelets, and thinly sliced octopus with scallions and ponzu, the menu extends to okonomiyaki, including classic pork tama, mixed versions, and noodle-layered modan-yaki. To round off the meal, diners can turn to comforting, down-to-earth staples such as chuka soba ramen, chicken rice porridge, or ochazuke, making it easy to tailor an order to the mood of the night.

Inside, a relaxed atmosphere with a touch of Showa-era nostalgia welcomes both solo patrons and groups at the counter and table seats. Business hours run from 17:00 in the evening until 23:00, with Tuesdays closed, and payments are accepted in cash only.
